[00:04:33] connected the culminating and crushing point to
[00:04:36] take the sensational
[00:04:39] victory.
[00:04:48] well to continue with more of these actions of the Central American and Caribbean games already in
[00:04:52] their last day, last minutes, last days
[00:04:56] now, let's immediately be updated to see with our colleague.
[00:05:07] That's right, colleague, in this day of the Central American and Caribbean
[00:05:10] games, the strength of the... Pedrofilia shook the
[00:05:13] platform and karate vibrates with the passion of living
[00:05:17] legends who today exchange the tatami for the stands,
[00:05:20] but with the heart beating at the same rhythm,
[00:05:23] but we are going to see it reflected in this story that we have prepared for you,
[00:05:27] let's see:
[00:05:29] the weightlifting platform vibrated with intensity in this final stretch
[00:05:33] of the Central American and Caribbean games, emotions reached their
[00:05:39] the 88 kg men's category.
[00:05:51] Well, the truth is I'm very happy, very happy, we were
[00:05:54] concentrated for 6 months in Mexico City with the Mexican
[00:05:57] team, the great work we did now in the
[00:06:00] competition was shown and I'm very happy, I had been in several major
[00:06:04] competitions and I had not been able to win an international
[00:06:07] medal until today and what better way than in the Central American games representing my country well.
[00:06:10] centroamericanos y representando bien a mi país.
[00:06:13] The podium of this electrifying day of weightlifting was sealed with
[00:06:16] absolute dedication, the bronze
[00:06:20] Venezuelan lands and the gold consecrated the delegation of
[00:06:23] Colombia. Amidst applause and ovations, the Colombian weightlifter
[00:06:27] Jason López shone with his own light by conquering two gold
[00:06:31] medals and breaking the world record in the 88 kg
[00:06:34] men's category, demonstrating an
[00:06:40] the great Caribbean event. Well,
[00:06:42] we really did a very strong preparation in the
[00:06:46] city of Barranquilla,
[00:06:48] I was clear that I could make
[00:06:52] a record here but it was not the idea because I am in more demanding competitions
[00:06:56] so the idea was to save ourselves and take care of ourselves in this competition but as I say, emotions
[00:07:00] always come to the surface
[00:07:03] and I got excited in the competition and I wanted to give my best
[00:07:06] and I think I was prepared to
[00:07:09] do that and much more because I have been working very
[00:07:13] hard and in training I already lift much higher weights
[00:07:16] and while strength defines the present in
[00:07:20] weightlifting, the karate tatami vibrates with the last fights of
[00:07:24] these games, but the emotion is not only lived among the
[00:07:27] active competitors, in the stands, the competitors who
[00:07:31] once gave their all experience the tournament from another
[00:07:35] trench, reliving the nostalgia of glory and
[00:07:38] sacrifice that is never forgotten, one has to...
[00:07:42] be all the time pulling from inside to be able to
[00:07:45] develop, forget about injuries, forget about
[00:07:48] fatigue, forget about everything, because
[00:07:51] at that moment what exists is only the crown and
[00:07:55] brothers or damn it and he
[00:07:58] tells me hey man eh damn it, the time comes when one retires it is
[00:08:02] difficult because after one is
[00:08:05] so long in the arena has so many fights has been
[00:08:09] champion of different obstacles.
[00:08:12] So it is difficult for one to retire, so one never retires
[00:08:16] at all. Thus concludes an unforgettable day in
[00:08:20] Santo Domingo 2026, where the
[00:08:22] triumph of the present merges with the memory of the
[00:08:25] exalted. As of today, the sports festival
[00:08:29] enters its exciting final stretch with simultaneous emotions in
[00:08:33] 18 disciplines that decide the fate of the last continental
[00:08:36] medals. Almost closing the doors of these Central American
[00:08:40] and Caribbean games, but still, more
[00:08:43] medals remain to be defined in the remaining competitions to close with a
[00:08:47] golden flourish these games here in Santo
[00:08:50] Domingo, the capital of sports, I am Daisy Tusen and I return with
[00:08:54] you to the studio center,
[00:08:57] thank you colleague, so it's time, what do you think about reviewing at this time how the
[00:09:01] medal table is in these Central American and Caribbean games,
[00:09:05] because Mexico continues to lead this medal table from beginning to end and
[00:09:08] seems to have no rivals, 164 gold,
[00:09:12] 116 silver, 111 bronze for a total of
[00:09:15] 391 medals, attention Colombia because it consolidates in second
[00:09:19] place, 88 gold, 93 silver,
[00:09:22] 75 bronze for a total of 256 medals,
[00:09:26] Cuba 48 gold, attention with Cuba and Venezuela,
[00:09:30] 45 silver, 56 bronze for a total of
[00:09:34] 149. Venezuela in fourth place,
[00:09:37] but at this time, precisely at this time a gold
[00:09:40] medal is being disputed for Venezuela in men's
[00:09:43] soccer, in the final Venezuela against the Mexican
[00:09:47] team, for now the match is 1-1 , 64 silver
[00:09:51] and 95 bronze for a total of 201 medals, and the host
[00:09:54] Dominican Republic appears in fifth place, if
[00:09:58] we review the numbers of the last edition of San Salvador
[00:10:01] 2023, Venezuela on this occasion has surpassed
[00:10:05] the mark, not only in gold medals, because in San Salvador
[00:10:08] there were 32 gold medals and now Venezuela is already above
[00:10:12] 40 gold medals, so there is a turning point, a positive
[00:10:16] point especially for Venezuelan sports
[00:10:19] and speaking of sports, there is still information to share and it has to
[00:10:23] do with the Future Games 2 36 because they are a
[00:10:26] commitment to combine traditional
[00:10:30] digital or with digital as they say in other countries, in its
[00:10:34] third edition this international competition seeks to
[00:10:36] introduce physical activity into the lives of young people who spend
[00:10:40] a lot of time in front of video game
[00:10:43] consoles.
[00:10:46] the third edition of the Future Games
[00:10:49] 2026, this year came to Astana,
[00:10:52] capital of Kazakhstan, a tournament... and international
[00:10:55] sports where traditional sport is intertwined with
[00:10:59] digital to give life to the figital world, a
[00:11:02] competition that takes place from July 29 to
[00:11:06] August 9 with the presence of 800 athletes from at least 50
[00:11:09] countries, the Future Games are a summit
[00:11:13] spectacle, a summit event that presents technosport esports
[00:11:17] and most importantly digital sport,
[00:11:20] it is a totally new sports movement that combines digital gaming with
[00:11:25] traditional sport, in this
[00:11:28] figital movement to introduce physical activity into the lives of
[00:11:32] young people who might be missing out on it because they spend too much time
[00:11:36] with video games. For the competitors, some
[00:11:41] all three editions, the multisport event is an
[00:11:44] opportunity to fraternize and demonstrate skills with
[00:11:48] athletes from various parts of the world. As
[00:11:51] pioneers, we were very nervous during the digital part.
[00:11:55] but everything went well during the in-person part because we had
[00:11:59] played before, the digital part was the most difficult, but
[00:12:03] overall this tournament was very entertaining and
[00:12:06] exciting. These are my third Future
[00:12:09] Games, the first were in Kazan, followed by Abu
[00:12:12] Dhabi and now Astana, I am impressed by how well
[00:12:16] organized they are, I am very happy
[00:12:18] with everything. The authorities of the nations that
[00:12:22] are part of this event, especially for the Russian
[00:12:26] President Vladimir Putin, these games were and remain
[00:12:29] free of political conjuncture.
[00:12:33] The All-Russian Physical and Digital Sports Federation was founded in
[00:12:36] November 2022 and between February and March of two free of
[00:12:40] political considerations of any form of
[00:12:43] discrimination and double standards. These unique
[00:12:46] competitions combine sport and innovation, physical and
[00:12:50] intellectual culture. Their main mission is to promote the comprehensive
[00:12:53] development of people. A vision of the future, open to progress
[00:12:57] and confident in the use of cutting-edge
[00:13:00] technologies. The Future Games began
[00:13:04] in the Russian city of Kazan in 2024.
[00:13:07] For 2025, the event was held in Abu Dhabi, capital of
[00:13:11] the United Arab Emirates with record figures of
[00:13:15] 461 million views on streaming platforms
[00:13:19] for the 2027 edition, countries like
[00:13:22] Brazil, Serbia, South Africa and Uzbekistan
