Santiago Gómez Cora, head coach of The Pumas 7s expressed: “The big day has arrived to give the 12 players who are in search of the dream of the Olympic Games. We are aware of how difficult this list is, different from the others because this one is every four years and it is everyone’s dream to go in search of an Olympic medal. We are aware of how sensitive and delicate this particular list is, but we will be consistent with what we have been doing all year. We are convinced that they are the right 12 players,” concluded Gómez Cora.
