Three classified Antioquians seek to collect the money that, they say, the authorities have not given them.

On April 21, the Taekwondo World Cup will take place in South Korea. 36 Colombian athletes are classified for the appointment and they hope to have an outstanding participation in a discipline in which the country has won medals at the Olympic Games.

However, according to what three athletes from Antioquia told ‘Telemedellín’, they do not have the financial support to attend the competition. Apparently, as reported, the fact of having entered the list of competitors under the team modality would have to do with the absence of support from the entities in charge.

Fundraising

To collect the money they require, Tatiana León, Mary Sol Echeverry and Dariana Softe they organized a chinese rice sale for this weekend. The price of each dish is 15,000 pesos. The food will be delivered to your home.

Likewise, the athletes organized a ‘crowdfunding’ on the ‘Vaki’ platform. So far, they have only collected 58,200 pesos. The goal, it is read on the web, is 50 million pesos.
