Ana Gabriela Guevarageneral director of the National Commission for Physical Culture and Sport, made it clear that the budget you will receive from the federal government by 2023 It will be enough to continue guaranteeing the preparation and expenses of Mexican athletes that are shaping up to the Olympic cycle of Paris 2024.

And it is that the Commission will have a slight increase that would be around a total of 2 thousand 524 million pesos, amount than for the former sprinter es more than enough y the sample is what has been done in his management with the Olympic Games of Tokyo 2020 and in this 2022 with outstanding results in disciplines such as archery, taekwondo and canoeing.

“The budget by the government is guaranteedit has been handled by the media that if it is insufficient or everything that they have slandered that if there was such or such a situation within the institution. The budget is achievable, it is applied and there is a resource to do it; perhaps there is a longing for what years past was had with a budget of 8 billion pesos and now we do not see it. That is where the questioning comes in, which is less, but With what we have we have managed to do wonders and put the athletes on the rail. We have never requested more resources, the resources are enough, ”she said.

SecondlyFor the Paris 2024 cycle, Guevara hopes to lead a historic delegation with more than a hundred athletes, but they will not match what was done in Tokyo 2020 due to the absence of joint sports such as soccer and baseball.

“The desire is to exceed the number again, obviously the result of canoeing gives us a lot of encouragement, archery gets involved with full equipment in the process. In taekwondo we bet on a large number of places because the hegemonic sport is being consolidated again. It will be hard to match Tokyo for the theme of sport as a whole, there will be no football, no baseball and softball is between blue and good night. It’s going to be hard to beat, we’ll be at an estimate of 130 depending on how the numbers come out, but We are going to return to the historical number of Olympic Games”.
