(02:30):
Bogotá awards on the Mario Soto track. Well now, yes, many of
the stories I have to share aboutwhat happened, experiences and personal stories.
The first to share some of myresults at the World Championship. I was

(02:53):
part of the cruise category, forty- four years old. In this category
the total of eighty- eight corridorsfrom different parts of the world. In
that category twelve of the Colombian runnersand I want to highlight them all.

(03:14):
That was my category, highlighting thesetwelve 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 bestof what we had to give and I
recount those twelve runners quickly the topafter having competed the Top World of the

(03:42):
Box, which we left of thoseeighty- eight runners and those Colombians,
the top also of those who participatedand we needed, for example, a
runner who runs through Cundinamarca. OneJohn Paul Troy, who was unable to
attend because of an injury. Aspecial greeting for him and we hope to
see him soon again on the trackof that category, of my category,

(04:08):
twelve Colombians, of eighty- eightof the total category. Then to highlight
the participation of all the Flaco deGreyman, Molina de Manizales, Julio César
Cortés, Juan Manuel Pinilla, SantiagoEspina, Romer Garzón, Rico del Valle

(04:30):
del Cauca, Tabo García, SantiagoSilva and Teves of the city of Medellín,
which had an excellent performance that wasthe best of the twelve was in
the double final or six for Tevesanother very important letter and did not count
on luck because it was in thesemifinal. It was going very well in

(04:53):
the semifinal. Santiago Silva was rankedTop World Nine and the National Top.
It was the second major program inour category. Tao World Top eighteen,
Rico Top twenty- four, RomerTop forty- two. I was in
the Top forty- three Santiago EspinaTop fifty- two. I want to

(05:15):
highlight the participation of Santiago Espina becausetwo months ago he had an injury,
a fracture of his hand and gavethe 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 thepain. I want to make that special
mention to my friend, because heis a personal friend, Santiago Espina who

(05:39):
did this sporting feat, Juan ManuelPinilla Top fifty- seven, Julio César
Cortés fifty- eight, Molina sixty, Greyman sixty- one and the skinny
Tops is seven- four. Thatwas like the participation of my colleagues and
friends who were in the World Championshipin the category cruise when WarIn forty-

(06:00):
four years and personally, I cameto eighth finals I felt very good,
very quiet, very happy. Itexceeded my expectations regarding my participation in two
other world championships. With this mythird participation in a world championship, I
' m sure several more opportunities willcome. My sorting sleeves two, five

(06:30):
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 timeof thirty- five nine hundred twenty-

(06:54):
two seconds and with thousands and moreof seconds, and my best departure was
the eighth of finals, which hadin a progression and is a projection perhaps
for a next presentation in another Championshipin the world. There is room for
improvement, and there is scope forfurther progress in the next rounds. That,
as for my participation and the participationof colleagues and friends in this World

(07:17):
Championship two thousand twenty- four,in turn also some participation data and statistics.
Forty- three countries from around theworld participated in the World Championships a

(07:38):
total of three thousand three hundred andfourteen 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

(07:59):
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 oftheir family, their friends, their runners.
Personally, I had the support ofmy friends, of some close friends,

(08:26):
a world championship where I was alonewithout a degree of consanguinity, that
support is very important. But Ihad the support of my family from afar
and the support of those friends aroundthe track. It was amazing this experience
in this world championship. I alsohad the opportunity to volunteer to serve the

(08:52):
Rock Hill community. Two days aftermy 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 orto get their access handle and if they

(09:13):
had bought it by electronic means orif they had bought it there at the
box office, well, my jobwas to welcome them and put the handle
in the hand they decided. Ihad the opportunity to see many faces,
many runners from many parts of theworld, to converse with several American people,

(09:35):
Australians from Japan. Amidst the languagedifficulty between English and Japanese with Italians.
Of course, welcoming several Colombians withwhom I met there in that admission
assistance and having the opportunity to offerand help the community and other athletes was
very valuable enricher for, for meas an athlete and as a person and

(10:00):
as a lover of the BMX,also that this episode of the podcast is
to send a deep and sincere congratulationsto the team of the Colombian Cycling Federation,

(10:20):
headed that delegation by Dr Marcela Morianoand her entire team. My names
are missing, but some of thenames of the delegation I have at the
moment, Professor Fabien Hernández, ProfessorJosé Luis Díaz, Professor Eduard Estrada and

(10:46):
all the people who helped and contributedto the delegation so that the Colombian delegation
would feel much better and so wefelt. Thanks for the hydration, thanks
for the food, thanks for thesuggestions, thanks for the warm- ups.

(11:11):
It' s true that from thepersonal and I' m sure that
many other Colombians felt it and wefelt 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 thistime accompanied us, did not accompany us.

(11:37):
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, butthere are no inconveniences, no problems,
they will arrive, but what Imanaged to detect we felt very good the

(11:58):
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 wehave been loving this sport for twenty-
five, thirty years, we mustgenerate a much more educated culture within our

(12:24):
Colombian talents and those who come there. I could analyze the behavior of many
there and of other nations. Forexample, I want to highlight the behaviour
of Japan' s runners' tent. Excellence, neatness, order, concentration,

(12:46):
they left and left that tent completelyperfect, a video that I shared
on my personal social networks in AlejoVargas p about what impressed me about the
Japanese was not how they behaved insidethe track, because being in other processes
was what they did in that tentas they left it. We can learn

(13:09):
from other people. We have toteach to improve the behaviors of the guys
who come there. Surely and Isaw 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 intoa debate to say they were from this

(13:31):
or this city. No, there' s no need. Everyone knows how
he behaved and everyone knows what otherathletes 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 ofour sport. There' s the support

(13:56):
of the parents, there' sthe 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 littleby little we will have a better image
in front of other countries and wewill better educate our talents, which are

(14:20):
pushing very hard. For many runnersmaybe. This was his first championship in
the world. They must have enjoyedit. They had other expectations for others.
It' s a world championship morewhere you want to enjoy, because
we' re saying it from thepersonal to the old, is that all
we want to enjoy that sharing isto gain experience, gain mileage in good

(14:48):
experience, but this is a setof all. And I also want to
highlight and send a very big congratulationsto runner Mariana, better known as Pecos,
this runner from Bogotá, who wonin 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 putthe runners before and prepared them before
putting them on the podium. Ihad the opportunity to see her, to
tell her with gestures that I congratulatedher. And I saw his face of
happiness. I saw his face ofglory, I saw his face of duty

(15:31):
work fulfilled. I saw her faceand all those people behind her who have
been supporting her. Professor Rockman garcíafrom Now Limits, a club in Bogotá.
I saw the face of Natalia Salamanca, a mental trainer also and runner
of bm X. I saw thefaces of the Colombians. I saw her

(15:52):
face. I saw the face ofher parents, with the pride and feeling
of doing an excellent job with herdaughter. We' ll probably have Mariana
as a guest on a podcast episode. When I spoke to her, she
gave me all her disposition. Butwe have different agendas, because she continues,

(16:14):
continues to train, has commitments,sports commitments and much more. But
I want to highlight especially the participationof Mariana de Pecos, as she is
called with great affection, and thoseare some of the anecdotes, some things
to improve among everyone, and everyoneknows that they must improve in the personal.

(16:37):
Preparation and participation in a BMX WorldCup needs many other details: Swiss
watchmaking, fine- tuned details.Every detail counts in the participation of the
world championship. Every detail is importantall the people who influence that converge that

(16:57):
are part of preparing a preparation.In my case, this year of forty
- three years, my preparation willcontinue to do the same or better to
take into account. I also wantto thank my coach of this time,
Professor Gillo, Sergio Amarillo, thatin the middle of the distance, we

(17:21):
managed to have a synergy so thatthe preparation was according to the plan.
And, well, a lot ofpeople to thank, and there are a
lot of stories I' d liketo have a lot of time to share.
You guys. Well, as forwhat comes from the Olympics, because

(17:42):
there are a lot of questions aboutthe Olympics. I want to share with
you that I have the following information, especially in the men' s squares,
in the Olympic squares, that thereis a rather interesting battle between the

(18:03):
two squares between the United States andEngland, and the mystery of the universal
square. Remember that there is auniversal box that is delivered for use by
some country. True, there areonly two hundred and twenty- five points
separating the United States from Britain.After the world championship. There are two

(18:23):
hundred points at stake for the Nashvillechampion, 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 pointscome three hundred points in European Championship

(18:44):
game in a few days in Verona, Italy, and that race will conclude
the game or battle for those twoseats, between those two nations. Well,

(19:06):
then, talking a little bit aboutthis topic, France in men has
three positions. Colombia has three runnersready. We don' t know in
Colombia surely, very possibly I can' t say anything. Carlos Ramírez is
a fixed square. Diego Arboleda isanother fixed place and I wouldn' t

(19:30):
know. This already depends on thecriteria, the technical body of the Federation
and other criteria for the fulfilment ofthe objectives. Between the Naranjo corridor and
between the Carmona corridor. The twohave shown that they can represent Colombia very
well in the Olympics and have withthat what Naranjo did in the impressive World

(19:55):
Cup, what Carlos Ramírez did,although he lost the third position of the
well, I hate practically in theline beside Silvaina André, who did not
expect it, surprised him. Ithappens, it happens in real life,
it happens to the elite and,obviously good what Jorris Daudeth did at the
age of thirty- three and comeafter a clavicle fracture. Yes, you

(20:17):
can. Yeah, yeah, maybegood. Switzerland has two seats or Netherlands,
Netherlands has two positions in men,United States two places apparently, Great
Britain, one, Australia, oneArgentina, 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 outThailand with commet super carcert Monroco, with

(21:03):
a runner named Jean Son. Thosenames that are already published, we will
see which ones will be Colombia,United States, France, Argentina, obvious
by France. I would think thatof those three places Jorge Lowdet certainly is
one and Silvaine André, certainly itis the other. There are some stakes
for the third. Now this isgoing to be a very interesting game.

(21:26):
I have no information about the ladiesand Germany as well. Well they'
re going to see who it isand the universal square that it is for
Italy and if it doesn' tapply to Italy they' re going to
see who it is or who qualifiesthis information from the Olympics that are coming

(21:51):
very soon and they' re goingto be amazing. So, well,
