In addition to the first place that Antioquia holds today in the general medal table of these First National Youth Games, we celebrate that, in the Paranational Games we occupy the second line. Of the 614 athletes that make up the Antioquia delegation in the Coffee Region, 59 registered para-athletes represent us in eight of the twelve sports of the Paralympic sector in competition:
- Bowl
- Judo visual
- for table tennis
- For archery*
- For athletics
- for badminton
- Paracycling
- for swimming
Several of these sports modalities have already finished their participation, achieving for Antioquia, so far, 30 gold, 19 silver and 22 bronze medals and placing this department in second place in the general medal table of the 2024 Paranational Youth Games.
For athletics and swimming they have had an outstanding performance. According to the technical and methodological team of Indeportes Antioquia, the good results are due to the coordination that has been achieved with coaches and physical trainers from the sports leagues and the coaches from the municipalities of Antioquia.
The Antioquian paraathletes who participate in these First National Youth Games are the starting point to strengthen the senior category that will represent us in the next Paranational Games in 2027 and, perhaps, integrate Colombian teams for the 2028 Paralympic Games.
Congratulations! Not only to these young people who know no limits, but to their families, to the technical, methodological, medical and psychosocial team that, with empathy, knowledge and professionalism, accompanies Antioquians with different disabilities who also have sporting talent and spirit. of champions.
