Representación Hispana en Deportes

This winter, Pyeongchang, South Korea is grabbing the Winter Olympics. The Winter Olympics is an important international sporting event held every four years. A total of 92 countries are participating this year from 9 to 25 February.

Colombian Laura Gomez will compete as a speed skater on ice and will be the first Colombian speed skater at the Olympic Winter Games. The discipline began six months ago “for fun” but that will lead him to mark a milestone in the sport of his country. She trained for about 6 months but failed to qualify. But after the Olympic Committee decided to exclude several Russian athletes because of a doping scandal, the Committee then allowed the Colombian to advance positions to travel to South Korea and represent her country.

This article is very interesting to read about. The Olympic Games is a very popular event. Sabiás that the games have the record of the majority of condoms provided and had the biggest opening ceremony. The game is very important for Columbia and Gomez. She is the first woman in her country to play in this event with only 6 months of training. Also, Columbia only participates in two other events with three other people. Columbia and other South American countries are often ignored compared to the United States, China and Spain. Therefore, Laura Gomez will have to work hard to win a medal for her country and will have to face a cold that can reach -20ºC.

I hope your training is ready to take on the other team. Having Gomez representing his country in the 2018 Winter Olympics is amazing. Gomez and the others are bringing pride and joy to the people of Columbia. They are competing against 90 other countries and 2,952 athletes. She has worked hard to be where she is now. This is the third time of Columbia participating in the Olympic Winter Games. The first time was in 2010 in Vancouver. It is very important when small countries are being represented because the people of the country are being represented and not discriminated against. This opportunity is allowing Gómez and others to be proud of their culture and make history. Often minorities are ignored in sports,

Also, there is a lack of representation of women in sports since women were not allowed to play in the Olympic Games until 1862. Sports have been considered as a male sport for ages but women have been struggling to be treated equally and are now participating in these sports. It is truly inspiring to see a Latina woman representing her small country and representing all female athletes. Young girls in Columbia will be inspired to play sports being active due to Gomez.

In short, it’s inspiring to read about a Latina woman participating in this year’s Winter Olympics. She is representing her country and women athletes. I wish you the best of luck.
