Well now, yes, many of the stories I have to share about what happened, experiences and personal stories.

2:46 The first to share some of my results at the World Championship. I was part of the cruise category, forty- four years old. In this category the total of eighty- eight corridors from different parts of the world. In that category twelve of the Colombian runners and I want to highlight them all. That was my category, highlighting these twelve Colombian warriors who were fighting for the same goal, the same ideal. I am sure that each of us who competed in this category gave the best of what we had to give and I recount those twelve runners quickly the top after having competed the Top World of the Box, which we left of those eighty- eight runners and those Colombians, the top also of those who participated and we needed, for example, a runner who runs through Cundinamarca. One John Paul Troy, who was unable to attend because of an injury. A special greeting for him and we hope to see him soon again on the track of that category, of my category, twelve Colombians, of eighty- eight of the total category. Then to highlight the participation of all the Flaco de Greyman, Molina de Manizales, Julio César

4:20 Cortés, Juan Manuel Pinilla, Santiago Espina, Romer Garzón, Rico del Valle del Cauca, Tabo García, Santiago Silva and Teves of the city of Medellín, which had an excellent performance that was the best of the twelve was in the double final or six for Teves another very important letter and did not count on luck because it was in the semifinal. It was going very well in the semifinal. Santiago Silva was ranked Top World Nine and the National Top. It was the second major program in our category. Tao World Top eighteen, Rico Top twenty- four, Romer Top forty- two. I was in the Top forty- three Santiago Espina Top fifty- two. I want to highlight the participation of Santiago Espina because two months ago he had an injury, a fracture of his hand and gave the best of himself all the effort, all the mental attitude, very powerful, mentally to be able to be in the World Championship with pain enduring the pain. I want to make that special mention to my friend, because he is a personal friend, Santiago Espina who did this sporting feat, Juan Manuel Pinilla Top fifty- seven, Julio César Cortés fifty- eight, Molina sixty, Greyman sixty- one and the skinny Tops is seven- four. That was like the participation of my colleagues and

5:55 friends who were in the World Championship in the category cruise when WarIn forty- four years and personally, I came to eighth finals I felt very good, very quiet, very happy. It exceeded my expectations regarding my participation in two other world championships. With this my third participation in a world championship, I ' m sure several more opportunities will come. My sorting sleeves two, five and one, that was my results. Very happy, very happy and in eighth of finals, that in sixth, with my best time was in eighth of finals, with a total time of thirty- five nine hundred twenty- two seconds and with thousands and more of seconds, and my best departure was the eighth of finals, which had in a progression and is a projection perhaps for a next presentation in another Championship in the world. There is room for improvement, and there is scope for further progress in the next rounds. That, as for my participation and the participation of colleagues and friends in this World Championship two thousand twenty- four, in turn also some participation data and statistics.

7:31 Forty- three countries from around the world participated in the World Championships a total of three thousand three hundred and fourteen registered runners to compete in the different categories. Also twenty- one, one hundred, twenty- five people were attending the races around the world. And those people people who like to drink x family, dads, brothers, friends that make this party live as beautiful as it was lived. Obviously, highlight and congratulate the whole family and all those parents who were accompanying each of their family, their friends, their runners.

8:18 Personally, I had the support of my friends, of some close friends, a world championship where I was alone without a degree of consanguinity, that support is very important. But I had the support of my family from afar and the support of those friends around the track. It was amazing this experience in this world championship. I also had the opportunity to volunteer to serve the Rock Hill community. Two days after my career, two days later, I had the assignment in the admissions Assistance. That meant that the first contact of many people who came to buy or to get their access handle and if they had bought it by electronic means or if they had bought it there at the box office, well, my job was to welcome them and put the handle in the hand they decided. I had the opportunity to see many faces, many runners from many parts of the world, to converse with several American people, Australians from Japan. Amidst the language difficulty between English and Japanese with Italians.

9:41 Of course, welcoming several Colombians with whom I met there in that admission assistance and having the opportunity to offer and help the community and other athletes was very valuable enricher for, for me as an athlete and as a person and as a lover of the BMX, also that this episode of the podcast is to send a deep and sincere congratulations to the team of the Colombian Cycling Federation, headed that delegation by Dr Marcela Moriano and her entire team. My names are missing, but some of the names of the delegation I have at the moment, Professor Fabien Hernández, Professor José Luis Díaz, Professor Eduard Estrada and all the people who helped and contributed to the delegation so that the Colombian delegation would feel much better and so we felt. Thanks for the hydration, thanks for the food, thanks for the suggestions, thanks for the warm- ups.

11:11 It' s true that from the personal and I' m sure that many other Colombians felt it and we felt it that way, we felt that affection and we felt that job. I want to congratulate you. Congratulate also that this time Mr Rubén Galeano, the director of events of the Colombian Cycling Federation, but the team that this time accompanied us, did not accompany us. We feel it' s a breakthrough, it' s a breakthrough. Surely there are things to be improved. Surely we are always in a process of continuous improvement, surely, but there are no inconveniences, no problems, they will arrive, but what I managed to detect we felt very good the corridors and additional to. That' s within the things that need to be improved. If it is our responsibility, especially in the biggest, in the parents, in the corridors that we have been loving this sport for twenty- five, thirty years, we must generate a much more educated culture within our Colombian talents and those who come there. I could analyze the behavior of many there and of other nations. For example, I want to highlight the behaviour of Japan' s runners' tent. Excellence, neatness, order, concentration,

12:46 they left and left that tent completely perfect, a video that I shared on my personal social networks in Alejo Vargas p about what impressed me about the Japanese was not how they behaved inside the track, because being in other processes was what they did in that tent as they left it. We can learn from other people. We have to teach to improve the behaviors of the guys who come there. Surely and I saw inside the tent of Colombia some behaviors that are not the most suitable. And I' m not going to say or I' m not going into a debate to say they were from this or this city. No, there' s no need. Everyone knows how he behaved and everyone knows what other athletes detected with behaviors that are not the best, but that can be improved. The talent in Colombia is the new generations, there is the professionalization of our sport. There' s the support of the parents, there' s the support of the teachers, the respect for the teachers and the coaches, who are our second parents. It is necessary to improve those details and little by little we will have a better image in front of other countries and we will better educate our talents, which are

14:20 pushing very hard. For many runners maybe. This was his first championship in the world. They must have enjoyed it. They had other expectations for others. It' s a world championship more where you want to enjoy, because we' re saying it from the personal to the old, is that all we want to enjoy that sharing is to gain experience, gain mileage in good experience, but this is a set of all. And I also want to highlight and send a very big congratulations to runner Mariana, better known as Pecos, this runner from Bogotá, who won in Damas fourteen years. I could observe her when the competition ended, when she was sitting behind the podium tent.

15:11 There were special chairs where they put the runners before and prepared them before putting them on the podium. I had the opportunity to see her, to tell her with gestures that I congratulated her. And I saw his face of happiness. I saw his face of glory, I saw his face of duty work fulfilled. I saw her face and all those people behind her who have been supporting her. Professor Rockman garcía from Now Limits, a club in Bogotá. I saw the face of Natalia Salamanca, a mental trainer also and runner of bm X. I saw the faces of the Colombians. I saw her face. I saw the face of her parents, with the pride and feeling of doing an excellent job with her daughter. We' ll probably have Mariana as a guest on a podcast episode. When I spoke to her, she gave me all her disposition. But we have different agendas, because she continues, continues to train, has commitments, sports commitments and much more. But I want to highlight especially the participation of Mariana de Pecos, as she is called with great affection, and those are some of the anecdotes, some things to improve among everyone, and everyone knows that they must improve in the personal.

16:37 Preparation and participation in a BMX World Cup needs many other details: Swiss watchmaking, fine- tuned details. Every detail counts in the participation of the world championship. Every detail is important all the people who influence that converge that are part of preparing a preparation. In my case, this year of forty - three years, my preparation will continue to do the same or better to take into account. I also want to thank my coach of this time, Professor Gillo, Sergio Amarillo, that in the middle of the distance, we managed to have a synergy so that the preparation was according to the plan.

17:25 And, well, a lot of people to thank, and there are a lot of stories I' d like to have a lot of time to share. You guys. Well, as for what comes from the Olympics, because there are a lot of questions about the Olympics. I want to share with you that I have the following information, especially in the men' s squares, in the Olympic squares, that there is a rather interesting battle between the two squares between the United States and England, and the mystery of the universal square. Remember that there is a universal box that is delivered for use by some country. True, there are only two hundred and twenty- five points separating the United States from Britain. After the world championship. There are two hundred points at stake for the Nashville champion, which was a national championship that just happened here in the United States. Nashville musical city of the United States, where Americans were competing and won points come three hundred points in European Championship game in a few days in Verona, Italy, and that race will conclude the game or battle for those two seats, between those two nations. Well,

19:06 then, talking a little bit about this topic, France in men has three positions. Colombia has three runners ready. We don' t know in Colombia surely, very possibly I can' t say anything. Carlos Ramírez is a fixed square. Diego Arboleda is another fixed place and I wouldn' t know. This already depends on the criteria, the technical body of the Federation and other criteria for the fulfilment of the objectives. Between the Naranjo corridor and between the Carmona corridor. The two have shown that they can represent Colombia very well in the Olympics and have with that what Naranjo did in the impressive World Cup, what Carlos Ramírez did, although he lost the third position of the well, I hate practically in the line beside Silvaina André, who did not expect it, surprised him. It happens, it happens in real life, it happens to the elite and, obviously good what Jorris Daudeth did at the age of thirty- three and come after a clavicle fracture. Yes, you can. Yeah, yeah, maybe good. Switzerland has two seats or Netherlands, Netherlands has two positions in men, United States two places apparently, Great Britain, one, Australia, one Argentina, one New Zealand, one Belgium, one Lavia, one Chile one that, surely, there are already Latvia.

20:37 There' s Christoph Creggers from Chile. It' s Mauritio molina from equators. Wilson goges the confirmed one. The other leading rider of Ecuador in the elite category is left out. At this moment I miss the name of that runner, but it stays out Thailand with commet super carcert Monroco, with a runner named Jean Son. Those names that are already published, we will see which ones will be Colombia, United States, France, Argentina, obvious by France. I would think that of those three places Jorge Lowdet certainly is one and Silvaine André, certainly it is the other. There are some stakes for the third. Now this is going to be a very interesting game.

21:26 I have no information about the ladies and Germany as well. Well they' re going to see who it is and the universal square that it is for Italy and if it doesn' t apply to Italy they' re going to see who it is or who qualifies this information from the Olympics that are coming very soon and they' re going to be amazing.
