Episode Transcript

(00:03):
The friends, friends of the spectator. Good afternoon here, already in Paris,
good morning there in Colombia. Herewe are in the Tuileries garden,
where there are several scenarios of theOlympic Games. There' s the skit

(00:24):
ordering, there' s the BAone hundred and three times three, and
there' s also the BMX freestylewhere we were this morning, this in
Colombia. Here the competition was madeabout one o' clock in the afternoon
and we were following queen Saray villegaswho achieved that fourth place in bm X.
Prista is a fourth place for somehistorics, as Colombia had never ranked

(00:48):
the Olympic Games. The first timeit had been done was in Tokyo two
thousand twenty and Cuisaray, who cameto us as one of the great letters
of the national delegation got into thatfight for the medal. It was very
little done saying so that we werefollowing it from Paris, in this garden
of the Tuileries, in the squareof the Concordia, which is the road
that leads from the Pebetero of theOlympic flame towards the arch of ah So,

(01:17):
waiting for the time to come orby tn a case or you Apurdo
was achieved there over the end.Roud' s first you didn' t
have it too, but the secondyou did so much better. And it
' s aha was the first round. The second one was much better.
You can' t let go ofthe prawns you had held, but I
know I' m about to doit. Inargo, I know to ask
Colombia what we need to put togetheryou were at a meal in Colombia.

(01:40):
Don' t let her be herefor worlds and it' s myths ge
nothing, yes wanting a pioneering expensewas wrong. Having the first professional track,
rods continue to train from home,following it I was going to continue
to represent, so listen has notcaught a professional track, not with desire
and happy always to present Colombia.So hoping for that opportunity to stay on
that with my sister and there aremany Colombians who have a lot of level,

(02:02):
they just make it to the trackto blow up Saneto' s and
start representing Colombia. Wen And whatdoes that mean for the BMX, besides
what you' re saying the prideof representing it, what does that mean
for the BPX? Well, Ithink that means too much, because we
' re going to have a lotof opportunities for you to know more about
the sport that supports you more,so wanting to get home and start seeing

(02:23):
what' s going to happen nowand then, hoping you can do a
professional track in Colombia so that allColombians are going to train, start exploiting
at the level, because there's a lot of talent there in Colombia.
So hoping that the time will cometo start training there and start going
out, to compete for everything youdo. Entena' s father, for
example, a life that saw hertoday and was set up to train that
had to do nothing to get tothe track, I have a visa and

(02:44):
helmet protests and start walking. Iknow the first day he' s gonna
get a lot of love and he' s gonna start dreaming about something in
the baby and this will start rollingand he' s gonna start feeling that
adrenaline and I' m gonna wantto keep riding bikes. And the meaning
of your sister, that she's here too. Your family doesn'
t bite She' s very happywith my family She' s here in
thank you. I barely get proudin a room, I get Paris,

(03:06):
it' s nothing. I didit thank God. It' s a
dream made to realuda, he's already very happy to cry to me
the same and wanting to continue torepresent my brother. You can' t
be in this Olympic. But theother guy we' re gonna be both
thanks before his sister li sur Ley, because he' s both, because

(03:28):
my ominous child. Yeah, I' ll tell you too small. I
can go to the Glomics right now. It' s a point that took
her from how she saw her thinkingthere, how they lived through that test.
Yes, Paula, because the truthI was very excited since yesterday when
I did not make it in theround here smiles at her when I say

(03:50):
that it was a lot of surpriseof that, because the follow- up
that had been tested perhaps allowed usto understand the possibilities that she had cuis
and she were very concentrated in theComia glares and that she crossed today after
what was the test, told usthat her intention was even that they beat

(04:11):
a plant and she lived it.With that emotion, with that emphasis,
with the accompaniment of all the Colombianswho reached here arrived at the stands and
a participation that remained very little ofthat medal. At the eye of one
who saw the competition. It lookedlike he did what it took to stop

(04:31):
for that medal. But this isa sport that is defined by the perfection
of the test that is done andmaybe the first exit that was very risky,
she recognized it herself and those mistakesin it ended up being in the
medal. In the second he hadto make a more measured competition and that,

(04:53):
then, ended up costing him.But that third position is the fourth
same Olympic clo that achieves Colombian forthis few Fernando that we had to talk
a little bit about what was thebalance of Camila Osorio, who was eliminated
in eighths of final, but undoubtedlymade a great representation or left the name

(05:15):
of the country high, demonstrating onceagain that she is expert in dating games.
Yesterday, unfortunately, it didn't happen, but I think so.
His presentation was quite positive. Howyou saw that presentation by Camila Osorio
and, in general, as youhave also seen the women in the Olympics,
the women of Colombia. Colombia's women are dominating the scene in

(05:41):
the early days, as they arethe great quota- goers of the national
delegation. What said the road orcamel or I also said that maybe not
many gave much for it and sherecognized it, but there he got by
earning him a cough eleven of theworld and the rival of yesterday, Daniel
Collins, was very difficult, atop tem but a wheel not easy,

(06:05):
but Camilo Sorio, also with alot of claw, showed that what he
had shown throughout the championship and wehave seen it a tennis player that did
not take for offensive. He easilymanaged to get us settled, even going
back to the result, but hedid not reach him. That' s

(06:27):
why your check we talked to her, too. He told us pretty,
pretty interesting things about what the dreamis. She also said she kept that
dream one day to achieve that Olympicmedal. And then nothing, we'
re all very excited here. Maybea big turnout will come in a third

(06:47):
round. It was something Luca hasachieved in the tenir of female women.
Pabiola Zuloaga had also made good progressin those rounds in two thousand in two
thousand four, but well, MariaCamino had to be great for rabble.
Then he also went to accompany MaríaCamila in these eighths of Fina, unfortunately

(07:12):
riding and was eliminated in front ofthe nine of the world that was not
any tennis player and said Mara Camilahimself is not ready for the Angels two
thousand twenty- eight, to reachalso those Olympic Games, to represent Colombia.
Then we ask, please, Hector, our producer, to share María
Camila' s statements to Fernando ofthe viewer this dream. Obviously, I

(07:35):
was sleeping and dreaming about the medal, but, well, nothing clear,
I was counting on that, too. It wasn' t like the first
round and, well, they werealready throwing me out for my house litrale.
So that' s what they tryto trust us and believe in those
dreams. I had the illusion andI went in to play and I went
in to convert and enter and Iwon games that soon by the role I

(07:58):
had to win it. And wellthat' s ours to which in the
end is to trust and have tobelieve that Daddy' s sight with one
and to throw forward there is noother. So I say it with all
respect to the world, telling usnot that here is love, not any
of that, but at the endof confidence. It is therefore, if
you wish, that we can remember, once again, to get to the

(08:22):
Olympics, to be among the bestathletes in the world is already a feat
which has competed and who, unfortunately, have been left out of the competition.
We have Erica Lazo in Judah Estefaníawith Month in swimming, Anthony Rincón
in swimming, John Rodríguez in Esgrima, the men' s team of archeries
jan Carlos González in Lescade Buarding arrivedaliz en sitio mountainismo Andrés Hernández in Arquería

(08:46):
Camila Osorio, as we have alreadytold, which was eliminated in eighth of
finals, Carolina Velázquez in theater,which was hemelino at one in the morning.
And so it was good, andit was also good, that they
had to take the risk, tomake the competition in the river Seno,
which had still presented certain problems ofcontamination, as it was. And well,
today too, who plays the women' s selection at two o'

(09:09):
clock in the afternoon against a Canadathat arrived without points the tas let'
s not say, well, that' s the word as the appeal that
the selection had made so that theydidn' t subtract those six points from
them by the case of Espon NewZealand. Then Canada will play for the
whole and Colombia, because it willhave to be very concentrated for that game.

(09:33):
It is Colombia that attends space,because with that score that arrives canaá
you possible to the quarterfinals is correct, what would be neo. Yes,
let' s say that the twoobjectives with which the Colombian team arrived first

(09:56):
was to win a match in theOlympics, which got it on Sunday against
New Zealand, two to zero andthe second advance of the group phase.
At this time, Colombias leader ofthe group has three points and a difference
of more than one. But Canadais not completely disqualified. They didn'
t have six points left, buthe won both games. Then come in

(10:18):
as a third. Come in hard. The second in the group is France.
But we have cac because let's remember that in this tournament Canada
is the Olympic champion and, inaddition, in the two games that it
had. He has a key andhe knows how to go back to Canaan,
he knows how to go back toNew Zealand and they lose. In

(10:39):
the 13th minute and about seventy-nine he managed to win the duel and
in front of France the same happenedto them. They were losing. He
ended up in the first time losingand in the replacement time, in the
ninety plus three, I think heended up winning France. Then Canada is
not a rival who is completely deadeither. No, it has given merit

(11:01):
in sports to show that it cankeep a quota for the next round.
And well, we also have totalk about Maira Ramírez' s absence definitely,
which, since it was confirmed thather expulsion was going to be two
dates not of one and possibly alsoCatalina Usme could not play, not because,
in fact, today in interview thetechnician did not say yes, yes

(11:24):
or only Catalina is recovering and thatof Maira, despite the fact that the
Federation tried to interfere and tried tomake a management so that Amaira would only
give her a date after reviewing thevideo of the bar where in such a
lack, indeed, they confirmed thetwo dates for Maira. I wanted to
ask Paula to see if we couldget Fernando back. Meanwhile, as you

(11:46):
saw, that match of the nationalcombo against New Zealand was seen a much
more orderly team, because I thinkthat in New Zealand, without this sounding
like Rod Angel, because it wasnot a rival, there is a lot
of demand is the other tenu projectalready at several moments of the match,
but I think that with Lombia itwas what had to make this last date

(12:09):
unclassified, but with greater confidence toobtain the quota to the next round,
because I saw them much more calm. Let' s say that in France,
that first time, that deconcentration costthem basically expensive. In front of
New Zealand I already saw them muchcalmer. That moment is still missing to
define the goals. We re-eated a lot of goals and then marcela

(12:31):
crashed what a great real player infront of New Zealand was the leader.
And so this also speaks very wellof our local league, because let'
s remember that manuel A Ruiz Trepois the goalkeeper of the women' s
league two thousand twenty- four intwelve games and they are nine goals in
rich with the National Atlético. Butthat also talks about our league being competitive.

(12:52):
Not everyone is competing abroad either,but here too in the League great
things are being done. It wasnoted in the Fernando Fernando selection. That
' s where you hear us.We have asked Ahorita for Angie Valdez,
who in a few minutes will competeto look for what would be the first
medal for Colombia in this edition ofthe Olympics. How you' ve seen

(13:13):
that Bañis preparation. Yes, then, it must be clarified that it will
not compete for the first lock,but for insurance, because if it passes
to the semifinal, it would achieveminimum bronze in boxing be two bronzes to
the semifinalists equal is a very complicatedduel. Plays a fight with Kelly Harrington,

(13:41):
who' s the gold medalist incrazy two thousand twenty is not a
rival at all. In the firstduel, the first match had a five
zero while Andy passed. It wasa life decision three to two in a
duel that didn' t look asgood, as solid, as clean as
or showing at that World Championship lastyear that gave him the silver medal.

(14:05):
But, well, it will bean interesting combat to observe. Colombia has
many of its hopes placed in Andesand today to see if we can secure
that first medal that with the prorectionthat was given there, was also the
possibilities to reach the final. Butnow you will have a rather complicated rival

(14:26):
that we have to see what yourFernando will be like and from what part
Paris is from? Tell us alittle bit, how the atmosphere is and
how you have also seen the Colombianbar. Let' s say that in
the first sports forum, you talkedto us from where the selection was and
there is a festive atmosphere and everythingwhere you are. Right now, we

(14:46):
are, as I told you atthe beginning, in the garden of the
Suuylerías, which is where mainly urbansports, sports like freestyle, or as
skateboard, like basketball are. Threeare those new emerging sports that the Olympic
Games have. Right now, weare going to move precisely to the North

(15:07):
Arena, near the airport of Charlesde Golde, where boxing takes place where
they have fought Ingrid, Valencia,where will be Peleados gene Arias, where
he has already learned also the rivalof Es where Gilmar Spidy González was already.
And the atmosphere, since Colombians arelittle tall, they don' t
feel very much. It' snot like there' s a big appeal

(15:28):
in Colombians. There are more Brazilians, perhaps more from other nationalities as well.
There is a lot of French,obviously here of locals, but in
general, Colombians, because there arenot many who are here in Paris.
Fernando, I am very envious ofyou because you were, for example,

(15:50):
in the nadal game and Yoko ViLivio out there making countries and I want
to ask you about those international figuresof the Olympins, how you have seen
them, but especially about Simon Vaz, which is a very interesting story because
if you know it better than anyoneelse, then I would like you to
tell us a little bit about thatcovering of the figures internationally. Yes,

(16:14):
Simon Baels is making the great figureof the Olympic Games, with his story,
with his return after the mental problemsand there was trouble the call he
made to health metal and in thepast Olympic Games, and he has come
back all over, already securing goldmedals, already leading the test among women

(16:36):
in a very close fight with challengethat Ama will enter a Colombian in that
final, like Luisa Blanco, andshe is like the big star. Leon
Marchand is also like the great onenoted here by French fans in swimming.
He is doing a whole phenomenon andothers as well as Carlos Alcaraz, who

(17:00):
shares a team in Oval. Jokoychhas also been a long figure and,
of course, the American basketball teamhe steals. All eyes expect me to
arrive and arrive here in Paris,because those games are playing in Lino.
Then the hopes that arrive here inParis, that will surely come just talking

(17:22):
about simul biles and the importance ofmental health. In fact, the selection
of gymnastics America now has an emotionalsupport, which is a Golden retr breed
dog just to prevent that kind ofthing from happening. In Gymnastics it is
known as you gave, which isa phenomenon that the body and mind do
not synchronize. And so Gymnastics isvery serious That, then, because they

(17:45):
lose their balance. In fact,in the section of the science viewer we
made a very interesting article about thescience behind these jumps by Simon Biles,
and a physiotherapist wrote that the greatsecret of them among neuromusculars is that it
involves all the tape of the tissuethat crosses the frontal lobe of the brain

(18:06):
and controls the movement up to thereceptors is soriales that provide feedback to the
muscles themselves. So, in thescience section you can consult the whole article
to understand better, because, becausethis athlete is so brilliant in what Fernando
Sumo does, it is believed thathe has to go to cover ang Igualdez

(18:27):
a final comment of the expectations thatremain for these days, of who we
have to be pending? This morningwe saw Daniel Felipe Martínez training in the
streets of Paris, but tell uswho we have to look at, not
only Colombians, but internationally, whatwe recommend to see this week in the

(18:47):
Olympics. Before. Without a doubt, we are very expectant because tomorrow begins
the preliminary DMX competitions and I thinkthat our great test, our first big
date, because so it is veryattentive to cycling, septism, cycling foot
and then will come the lift inclumsiness, the application of boxing. I

(19:14):
think that is where the delegation's main hopes lie for things to be
left pending. Colombia began with historicalparticipations in sports in which one had generally
had its leading role, such asthe gymnasium But, as Ciro Solano,
president of Geo and Colombian team,told us, yesterday he left with the
Media Camino Sorio told us that sportsare coming very important for Colombia, where

(19:41):
the great hopes of that national delegationare. At the international level, this
is why we must be aware ofthe end of the situation, also pending
the beginning of the résismo that alreadybegins to start this Sunday and already incredible
that we arrive to the gos eggsand we start to pass in the last
ones of competition. Well, sinceFernando mentioned Ciro, we have a video

(20:06):
also a small interview with the directorof the Colombian Committee. So, Hector,
our producer, please share that videowith us. Well balance, it
' s very positive. The themeof extraordinary gymnastics, the extraordinary Camila thing.
It' s nice to see aColombian move to the last moment or

(20:32):
the homeland with getting ahead and thetruth that we' re very happy.
We are waiting for sports like athleticskisses us, cycling, the same fight
to BMX that I have the certaintyor security that we will get some medals
for Colombia. That' s nextweek. The weights I forgot. There
are also high possibilities. We're really calm. It is good to

(20:56):
see our athletes defending what you areColombia, with all the sports points,
with all a professionalism. She's very happy. Well, if you
look forward toÁngel Barajas, whowill be competing in Gymnastics of Indrid,
Valencia and Angi Valdes in boxing LuisaBlanco will also be in Gymnastics of gene

(21:17):
Areas. Again in boxing will bethe competences that we should be looking forward
to. And step forward to goclosing tell us about that last day of
women' s football that is goingon right now. Let us remember that
at ten o' clock in themorning the last day of women' s
football began. Japan is winning twoto zero for Nigeria, Brazil and Spain
to tie zero zero Zambia, Germany, which are part of Group B,

(21:42):
starts at twelve, as does Australiaand the United States, and for the
group to Colombia and Canada, totwo and New Zealand and France. At
two, let' s remember thatthe two best teams in each group and
the two best thirds pass. Well, then, Fernando, I think we
should ask Ciro to also give hima medal for all the mail and run

(22:03):
that he is having these days.You' re gonna earn one hundred feet
flat or four hundred meters. WithLuis Guillermo, the editor fired him.
I hope it will go very welland that, please, it will also
be an amulet for Colombia' sfirst medals our Olympics. That' s

(22:23):
where we' ve been. Thecommunities are entering the final that we made
with whom in the final, withLuis, we are gengal. But beyond
that, yes, I wanted nothingmore to reflect that it must be understood
that this national delegation is also makinga transition between a very glorious previous generation

(22:45):
that it had achieved, because themuno stylus had never been achieved with a
lot of important medals and that,perhaps in the bread to see me already
fast, it does apetics results thatare historical. The you, for example,
in the Angel standing, so youwill compete in the end of the
bar pijala yimnasi artistic, one ofthe most important sports of jusoltos. Those

(23:07):
are very important things to represent theplans that we believe in were never going
to arrive and as a result ofan important work of these athletes, the
classification of Luisa Blanco is also goingto the final in the Han Cell,
which will compete with Gymnasium of thenext countries. So what I had done

(23:30):
variedly are important results. The medalswill surely come and you have to have
a little patience with that twat.I had to finally agree. That is
an important reflection. Here we givea lot of stick to athletes when they
don' t win, but Ithink we don' t understand the dimension

(23:52):
of getting to the Olympics. That' s already done. This is quite
a feat on the part of ourathletes. Moreover, understanding that not everyone
has the infrastructure necessary to reach inoptimal conditions a fair one of this caliber.
So we will continue to see ourselvesin this sporting forum. Thanks to
Fernando, thanks to Paula Casas,who accompanied us again today, we are

(24:15):
waiting for you in a next editionof a sports forum and good to strengthen
the Colombians so that this week wehave medals. Thank you so much and
I' ll see you soon.
