for spare parts and especially here,
for example, in the World Cup,

18
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:20.800
solved my drawbacks BMX World Store UVC, led by Mr Martín Casas or as

21
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:46.080
the stories I have to share about
what happened, experiences and personal stories.

22
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:53.000
The first to share some of my
results at the World Championship. I was

23
00:02:53.080 --> 00:03:00.159
part of the cruise category, forty- four years old. In this category

24
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:07.919
the total of eighty- eight corridors
from different parts of the world. In

25
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:14.240
that category twelve of the Colombian runners
and I want to highlight them all.

26
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:21.240
That was my category, highlighting these
twelve Colombian warriors who were fighting for the

27
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.120
same goal, the same ideal.
I am sure that each of us who

28
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:32.719
competed in this category gave the best
of what we had to give and I

29
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:40.879
recount those twelve runners quickly the top
after having competed the Top World of the

30
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.719
Box, which we left of those
eighty- eight runners and those Colombians,

31
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.759
the top also of those who participated
and we needed, for example, a

32
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:58.000
runner who runs through Cundinamarca. One
John Paul Troy, who was unable to

33
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.159
attend because of an injury. A
special greeting for him and we hope to

34
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:06.479
see him soon again on the track
of that category, of my category,

35
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:14.560
twelve Colombians, of eighty- eight
of the total category. Then to highlight

36
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:20.759
the participation of all the Flaco de
Greyman, Molina de Manizales, Julio César

37
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:29.720
Cortés, Juan Manuel Pinilla, Santiago
Espina, Romer Garzón, Rico del Valle

38
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.319
del Cauca, Tabo García, Santiago
Silva and Teves of the city of Medellín,

39
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:41.480
which had an excellent performance that was
the best of the twelve was in

40
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:47.879
the double final or six for Teves
another very important letter and did not count

41
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:53.759
on luck because it was in the
semifinal. It was going very well in

42
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:58.920
the semifinal. Santiago Silva was ranked
Top World Nine and the National Top.

43
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:03.800
It was the second major program in
our category. Tao World Top eighteen,

44
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:11.160
Rico Top twenty- four, Romer
Top forty- two. I was in

45
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.920
the Top forty- three Santiago Espina
Top fifty- two. I want to

46
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.040
highlight the participation of Santiago Espina because
two months ago he had an injury,

47
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:25.199
a fracture of his hand and gave
the best of himself all the effort,

48
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:30.959
all the mental attitude, very powerful, mentally to be able to be in

49
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.079
the World Championship with pain enduring the
pain. I want to make that special

50
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:39.000
mention to my friend, because he
is a personal friend, Santiago Espina who

51
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:45.639
did this sporting feat, Juan Manuel
Pinilla Top fifty- seven, Julio César

52
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:49.000
Cortés fifty- eight, Molina sixty, Greyman sixty- one and the skinny

53
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:55.519
Tops is seven- four. That
was like the participation of my colleagues and

54
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.920
friends who were in the World Championship
in the category cruise when WarIn forty-

55
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:04.879
four years and personally, I came
to eighth finals I felt very good,

56
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:13.879
very quiet, very happy. It
exceeded my expectations regarding my participation in two

57
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:18.160
other world championships. With this my
third participation in a world championship, I

58
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:29.600
' m sure several more opportunities will
come. My sorting sleeves two, five

59
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:40.600
and one, that was my results. Very happy, very happy and in

60
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:46.399
eighth of finals, that in sixth, with my best time was in eighth

61
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:53.720
of finals, with a total time
of thirty- five nine hundred twenty-

62
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:57.720
two seconds and with thousands and more
of seconds, and my best departure was

63
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:02.600
the eighth of finals, which had
in a progression and is a projection perhaps

64
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:08.519
for a next presentation in another Championship
in the world. There is room for

65
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:13.720
improvement, and there is scope for
further progress in the next rounds. That,

66
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.360
as for my participation and the participation
of colleagues and friends in this World

67
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:25.720
Championship two thousand twenty- four,
in turn also some participation data and statistics.

68
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:36.000
Forty- three countries from around the
world participated in the World Championships a

69
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:46.480
total of three thousand three hundred and
fourteen registered runners to compete in the different

70
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:56.240
categories. Also twenty- one,
one hundred, twenty- five people were

71
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.680
attending the races around the world.
And those people people who like to drink

72
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:05.839
x family, dads, brothers,
friends that make this party live as beautiful

73
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.639
as it was lived. Obviously,
highlight and congratulate the whole family and all

74
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:18.279
those parents who were accompanying each of
their family, their friends, their runners.

75
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:26.160
Personally, I had the support of
my friends, of some close friends,

76
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.240
a world championship where I was alone
without a degree of consanguinity, that

77
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:37.279
support is very important. But I
had the support of my family from afar

78
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:43.399
and the support of those friends around
the track. It was amazing this experience

79
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:52.279
in this world championship. I also
had the opportunity to volunteer to serve the

80
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:58.559
Rock Hill community. Two days after
my career, two days later, I

81
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:05.519
had the assignment in the admissions Assistance. That meant that the first contact of

82
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:13.279
many people who came to buy or
to get their access handle and if they

83
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:18.000
had bought it by electronic means or
if they had bought it there at the

84
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:22.639
box office, well, my job
was to welcome them and put the handle

85
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:28.360
in the hand they decided. I
had the opportunity to see many faces,

86
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:35.879
many runners from many parts of the
world, to converse with several American people,

87
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.679
Australians from Japan. Amidst the language
difficulty between English and Japanese with Italians.

88
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.399
Of course, welcoming several Colombians with
whom I met there in that admission

89
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:52.519
assistance and having the opportunity to offer
and help the community and other athletes was

90
00:09:52.519 --> 00:10:00.039
very valuable enricher for, for me
as an athlete and as a person and

91
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:05.480
as a lover of the BMX,
also that this episode of the podcast is

92
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:20.720
to send a deep and sincere congratulations
to the team of the Colombian Cycling Federation,

93
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:35.240
headed that delegation by Dr Marcela Moriano
and her entire team. My names

94
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.600
are missing, but some of the
names of the delegation I have at the

95
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:46.279
moment, Professor Fabien Hernández, Professor
José Luis Díaz, Professor Eduard Estrada and

96
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:56.919
all the people who helped and contributed
to the delegation so that the Colombian delegation

97
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:05.559
would feel much better and so we
felt. Thanks for the hydration, thanks

98
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:11.600
for the food, thanks for the
suggestions, thanks for the warm- ups.

99
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:16.399
It' s true that from the
personal and I' m sure that

100
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:24.080
many other Colombians felt it and we
felt it that way, we felt that

101
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.279
affection and we felt that job.
I want to congratulate you. Congratulate also

102
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:31.200
that this time Mr Rubén Galeano,
the director of events of the Colombian Cycling

103
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.879
Federation, but the team that this
time accompanied us, did not accompany us.

104
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.919
We feel it' s a breakthrough, it' s a breakthrough.

105
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:48.279
Surely there are things to be improved. Surely we are always in a process

106
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:54.240
of continuous improvement, surely, but
there are no inconveniences, no problems,

107
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.679
they will arrive, but what I
managed to detect we felt very good the

108
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.360
corridors and additional to. That'
s within the things that need to be

109
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:09.080
improved. If it is our responsibility, especially in the biggest, in the

110
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.960
parents, in the corridors that we
have been loving this sport for twenty-

111
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:24.279
five, thirty years, we must
generate a much more educated culture within our

112
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:30.799
Colombian talents and those who come there. I could analyze the behavior of many

113
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:35.240
there and of other nations. For
example, I want to highlight the behaviour

114
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:45.080
of Japan' s runners' tent. Excellence, neatness, order, concentration,

115
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.840
they left and left that tent completely
perfect, a video that I shared

116
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:56.559
on my personal social networks in Alejo
Vargas p about what impressed me about the

117
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.000
Japanese was not how they behaved inside
the track, because being in other processes

118
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:09.159
was what they did in that tent
as they left it. We can learn

119
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:15.600
from other people. We have to
teach to improve the behaviors of the guys

120
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:20.159
who come there. Surely and I
saw inside the tent of Colombia some behaviors

121
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:26.879
that are not the most suitable.
And I' m not going to say

122
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.919
or I' m not going into
a debate to say they were from this

123
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.360
or this city. No, there' s no need. Everyone knows how

124
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:43.080
he behaved and everyone knows what other
athletes detected with behaviors that are not the

125
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:48.600
best, but that can be improved. The talent in Colombia is the new

126
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:56.759
generations, there is the professionalization of
our sport. There' s the support

127
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.759
of the parents, there' s
the support of the teachers, the respect

128
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:07.559
for the teachers and the coaches,
who are our second parents. It is

129
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.879
necessary to improve those details and little
by little we will have a better image

130
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:18.080
in front of other countries and we
will better educate our talents, which are

131
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:24.480
pushing very hard. For many runners
maybe. This was his first championship in

132
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.679
the world. They must have enjoyed
it. They had other expectations for others.

133
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.960
It' s a world championship more
where you want to enjoy, because

134
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.240
we' re saying it from the
personal to the old, is that all

135
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:48.759
we want to enjoy that sharing is
to gain experience, gain mileage in good

136
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:54.000
experience, but this is a set
of all. And I also want to

137
00:14:54.080 --> 00:15:00.799
highlight and send a very big congratulations
to runner Mariana, better known as Pecos,

138
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:05.639
this runner from Bogotá, who won
in Damas fourteen years. I could

139
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:11.679
observe her when the competition ended,
when she was sitting behind the podium tent.

140
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:16.279
There were special chairs where they put
the runners before and prepared them before

141
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:22.039
putting them on the podium. I
had the opportunity to see her, to

142
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:26.399
tell her with gestures that I congratulated
her. And I saw his face of

143
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.399
happiness. I saw his face of
glory, I saw his face of duty

144
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:37.679
work fulfilled. I saw her face
and all those people behind her who have

145
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.759
been supporting her. Professor Rockman garcía
from Now Limits, a club in Bogotá.

146
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:48.879
I saw the face of Natalia Salamanca, a mental trainer also and runner

147
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.840
of bm X. I saw the
faces of the Colombians. I saw her

148
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.960
face. I saw the face of
her parents, with the pride and feeling

149
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:03.840
of doing an excellent job with her
daughter. We' ll probably have Mariana

150
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.919
as a guest on a podcast episode. When I spoke to her, she

151
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:12.759
gave me all her disposition. But
we have different agendas, because she continues,

152
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.000
continues to train, has commitments,
sports commitments and much more. But

153
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:23.360
I want to highlight especially the participation
of Mariana de Pecos, as she is

154
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:33.759
called with great affection, and those
are some of the anecdotes, some things

155
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.799
to improve among everyone, and everyone
knows that they must improve in the personal.

156
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:44.000
Preparation and participation in a BMX World
Cup needs many other details: Swiss

157
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:52.000
watchmaking, fine- tuned details.
Every detail counts in the participation of the

158
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:57.200
world championship. Every detail is important
all the people who influence that converge that

159
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:03.039
are part of preparing a preparation.
In my case, this year of forty

160
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:11.279
- three years, my preparation will
continue to do the same or better to

161
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.440
take into account. I also want
to thank my coach of this time,

162
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:21.039
Professor Gillo, Sergio Amarillo, that
in the middle of the distance, we

163
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.960
managed to have a synergy so that
the preparation was according to the plan.

164
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.640
And, well, a lot of
people to thank, and there are a

165
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.440
lot of stories I' d like
to have a lot of time to share.

166
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:42.279
You guys. Well, as for
what comes from the Olympics, because

167
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:48.359
there are a lot of questions about
the Olympics. I want to share with

168
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:55.359
you that I have the following information, especially in the men' s squares,

169
00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:03.319
in the Olympic squares, that there
is a rather interesting battle between the

170
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.640
two squares between the United States and
England, and the mystery of the universal

171
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.400
square. Remember that there is a
universal box that is delivered for use by

172
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:19.200
some country. True, there are
only two hundred and twenty- five points

173
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:23.640
separating the United States from Britain.
After the world championship. There are two

174
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:30.119
hundred points at stake for the Nashville
champion, which was a national championship that

175
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:34.440
just happened here in the United States. Nashville musical city of the United States,

176
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:44.160
where Americans were competing and won points
come three hundred points in European Championship

177
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:51.759
game in a few days in Verona, Italy, and that race will conclude

178
00:18:51.960 --> 00:19:06.119
the game or battle for those two
seats, between those two nations. Well,

179
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:12.359
then, talking a little bit about
this topic, France in men has

180
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:18.559
three positions. Colombia has three runners
ready. We don' t know in

181
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:25.279
Colombia surely, very possibly I can' t say anything. Carlos Ramírez is

182
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:30.680
a fixed square. Diego Arboleda is
another fixed place and I wouldn' t

183
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:34.599
know. This already depends on the
criteria, the technical body of the Federation

184
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:41.880
and other criteria for the fulfilment of
the objectives. Between the Naranjo corridor and

185
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:47.599
between the Carmona corridor. The two
have shown that they can represent Colombia very

186
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:53.000
well in the Olympics and have with
that what Naranjo did in the impressive World

187
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:59.559
Cup, what Carlos Ramírez did,
although he lost the third position of the

188
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:03.480
well, I hate practically in the
line beside Silvaina André, who did not

189
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.920
expect it, surprised him. It
happens, it happens in real life,

190
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:12.200
it happens to the elite and,
obviously good what Jorris Daudeth did at the

191
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:17.680
age of thirty- three and come
after a clavicle fracture. Yes, you

192
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:22.119
can. Yeah, yeah, maybe
good. Switzerland has two seats or Netherlands,

193
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.039
Netherlands has two positions in men,
United States two places apparently, Great

194
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:30.119
Britain, one, Australia, one
Argentina, one New Zealand, one Belgium,

195
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:37.039
one Lavia, one Chile one that, surely, there are already Latvia.

196
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:41.000
There' s Christoph Creggers from Chile. It' s Mauritio molina from

197
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.960
equators. Wilson goges the confirmed one. The other leading rider of Ecuador in

198
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:56.079
the elite category is left out.
At this moment I miss the name of

199
00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:03.680
that runner, but it stays out
Thailand with commet super carcert Monroco, with

200
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:11.880
a runner named Jean Son. Those
names that are already published, we will

201
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.240
see which ones will be Colombia,
United States, France, Argentina, obvious

202
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.799
by France. I would think that
of those three places Jorge Lowdet certainly is

203
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:23.160
one and Silvaine André, certainly it
is the other. There are some stakes

204
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:26.279
for the third. Now this is
going to be a very interesting game.

205
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:33.920
I have no information about the ladies
and Germany as well. Well they'

206
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:41.160
re going to see who it is
and the universal square that it is for

207
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:45.599
Italy and if it doesn' t
apply to Italy they' re going to

208
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:51.559
see who it is or who qualifies
this information from the Olympics that are coming

209
00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:51.960
very soon and they' re going
to be amazing. So, well,

210
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:57.599
