The Cuban sports idol Mijaín López appears among the nine ambassadors from different countries, chosen this Monday to be part of Team Panam Sports, America’s benchmark at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
“All of them, Olympic, World and Pan American medalists, not only represent sporting excellence on the playing field, but are a true example for their countries, and promoters of Olympic values around the world,” said Panam Sports, through of their profiles on social networks.
With the motto America, one team, an advertising video was also presented in which those chosen speak of their pride in being part of the team and their commitment to the entire continent, beyond the honor of competing for each of their nations, he detailed. Hit.
Mijaín will seek his fifth gold medal in the Olympic Games in the French capital, a feat never achieved before by a Cuban, and that has never happened in his sport either.
Also included in Team Panam Sports were Dominican sprinter Marileidy Paulino, Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade, Mexican diver Osmar Olvera and Canadian swimmer Margaret McNeil.
The select group is completed by the Argentine rugby 7 player, Marcos Moneta, the Santa Lucía runner, Julien Alfred, the Chilean tennis player Nicolás Jarry and the American discus thrower Valarie Allman.
Between all the members of the team they have accumulated 14 Olympic medals, 33 world medals and 26 Pan American medals, figures that confirm their successful careers that will surely continue to grow at the Paris 2024 event.
