In Cha, Cundinamarca, the national table tennis tournament was held, where the delegation of Risaralda was the protagonist, being present on the final podiums, winning two bronzes in the team and doubles formats with the athletes Simn Vlez and Jerome Salazar.

The Risaraldense Table Tennis League, led by President Juan Carlos Garca, has high expectations for this year’s national championships, where they hope to deliver a historic performance.

BEFORE THE NATIONAL GAMES

Daniel Morales, a trainer for this development path in Santa Rosa de Cabal, expressed: “It should be noted that this is the modality before the National Games, where the Santa Rosa representative is part of the pre-game process of Risaralda, in charge of coach Juan Carlos Garca accompanied by Jernimo Salazar.”

IT’S A PROMOTION FOR GAMES

Simn Vlez Gmez, the club representative of Las Araucarias municipality and current member of the Warriors club, referred to what was obtained in the company of the Risaraldense delegation. In the under-19 category, we achieved a team medal, which I did not get alone, but with the help of my two teammates, Jernimo Salazar and Santiago Ruiz. A medal where we can beat a very tough team, which was Valle del Cauca, and we can reach the semi-finals, where I think we could have gone a lot further, but things didn’t work out for us and at least we got this achievement.

BRONZE IN DOUBLES

The second medal was achieved in men’s doubles with my partner Jernimo. Very grateful to him and the whole Risaralda team in general, but more to him because we did the singles and we can get this medal for the championship. I’m left with this taste because maybe we could have reached the final and been champions, but it was achieved. I am very grateful to everyone, the Table Tennis League and my club, my coach Daniel Morales and Risaralda League President Juan Carlos Garca. remarked the slang word.
