Colombia, in this way, adjusts its third title in the history of the Gamesafter having won in Trujullo, Peru, (2013), and in Santa Marta (2017).
Without a doubt, Colombian supremacy is overwhelming in this part of the area. Not even Venezuela, which dominated the medal table for 13 consecutive Games, was the strong delegation on other occasions.
The ‘patriots’ have collapsed in the Olympic cycle competitions, while Colombia has raised the level, something that has been confirmed in events such as the South American Games, Central American and Caribbean Games, the Pan American Games and the Olympics.
The title was forged thanks to the resounding victory in cycling, that among all its modalities contributed 15 golds.
It was also won in boxing, which obtained seven first places, in squash they won five gold medals, while in speed skating the Colombians won five gold medals.
Artistic gymnastics contributed its own, seven golds, and for now Andrés Martínez is the most successful athlete of the fairs, Well, he has won five first places.
Fencing was another of the important sports, as it won five golds, meanwhile, bowling won four first places.
The Bolivarian Games, whose main venue is Valledupar and Bogotá and Cali as sub-venuesamong other cities, serve for the start of a new Olympic cycle that will end in País 2024.
The Colombian victory this time means that it is on the right track with a view to its future and that in the South American Games in Asunción, Paraguay, this year, that supremacy must be ratified, although there it will have stronger opponents such as Brazil and Argentina.
