“We have concentrated on Cali and the work was done as it was. We arrived at the World Cup with a lot of options and with high spirits, after the good performances in the Bolivarian Games, the Central American and Caribbean Games, and the South American Games,” the coach told EL TIEMPO Luis Arrieta.
Suárez last year was bronze in the clean and jerk, so he could be on the podium today or improve on what he did.
Colombia is led byr Francisco Mosquera and Yenny Alvarez, the athletes with the most options to take the gold for their experience and the good moment they are going through.
Mosquera will be the first great designated to go for the medals and he will do it the day after tomorrow in the 67 kilos test, in which last year he won silver in the clean and jerk and gold in the total.
Then, the turn is for Álvarez, who will try to revalidate the three golds in Bogotá in 2022 in the 59 kilos.
In addition, the Colombian team can be strengthened with the actions that could have Santiago Rodallegas, Miguel Ángel Suárez, Nathalia Llamosa, Andrés Caicedo, Jhon Serna, Rosalba Morales and Manuela Berríowho in Bogotá achieved some medal and can repeat or better what they achieved this time in Saudi Araba.
“It is not so easy to say how many medals we are going to win, but we do have aspirations to keep a good booty. The idea, too, is to aim to earn points to keep the quotas for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games”, pointed out Arrieta, who confirmed that once they return from the World Cup they will return to Cali to prepare for the participation in the Pan American Games in Santiago between October and November in which they will fight for a gold medal in total.
The actions of the World Cup will be staged at the Prince Faisal Bin Fahd Olympic Complex, in the vicinity of the Saudi capital, a metropolis that, after completing the event, will hand over the venue to Manama, the capital of Bahrain, by 2024.
