00:03:09discipline and the power of Venezuelan sports in the
00:03:12continental
00:03:13competition.
00:03:17Let's review then how that medal count is going.
00:03:21Brazil continues in first place with
00:03:24160 medals in total, distributed
00:03:28in 63 gold.
00:03:3056 silver and 41 bronze. Argentina,

00:03:58murals in honor of Lionel Messi on won, because it has 26 gold, 26 silver, 27 bronze for a total of
00:04:0279. Chile closes the top 5 with
00:04:0576 medals in total, very close to Venezuela with

00:04:13gold. And Peru climbed back to sixth
00:04:16place, taking that sixth place from Uruguay, recovering
00:04:19one more position. The Peruvian national
00:04:22team or country
00:04:24dignified game, I think we competed arrived in the sixth
00:04:26spot.
00:04:30fighting for that tie to try had broken the island's Olympic
00:04:34and the South American Games Santa Fe 2026 already have
00:04:37some controversial situations, okay, in Argentina, and one of
00:04:40them was the statements of Argentine judoka Agustina de
00:04:44Lucía. De Lucía won the silver medal in the -63 kg
00:04:47category of women's judo in Santa Fe
00:04:512026 after falling in the decisive fight against the
00:04:54Venezuelan Anriquelis Barrios at the Invencible Stadium in
00:04:58Rosario. This result also had a special significance for
00:05:02the 27-year-old athlete, as she was able to compete in front of her
00:05:06hometown crowd. However, Agustina de Lucía,
00:05:09after climbing to the podium, revealed that the government led by
00:05:12Javier Miley has been absent in her sports
00:05:15career, for which she did not recover the scholarship she lost after
00:05:19the Pan American Games and also stated that she will look
00:05:22for work starting this Monday, ending her
00:05:26participation in the games. So let's hear some of her
00:05:29statements.
00:05:31After the Pan American Games, when I lost the bronze,
00:05:35they took away my scholarship.
00:05:38I started looking for work, I started giving judo classes, I started living
00:05:42more by doing those things, you know? And it really
00:05:45complicated having the quality of training and quality of life
00:05:49because I was also going through a very dark
00:05:52time, I was very distressed by the result
00:05:56I got, you know? You have the bronze, you don't
00:05:59have the scholarship. And it was practically something like that they told
00:06:03me, yes, so well, that also took me out of the Olympic
00:06:06Games in Paris. I was well
00:06:09ranked, it was a decision that I really don't
00:06:13agree with, but well, it led me to be the voice I am today,
00:06:17you know, to value all the things I have, to recover the
00:06:20scholarship, not yet, no, so well,
00:06:25moment, on Monday I have to go look for a job
00:06:28like that, literally. Yes, yes, no, it's something
00:06:32I talked about with my partner, like, hey, focus,
00:06:36these two months, focus fully on this, and then when
00:06:39it passes, we'll see how we do everything. Let's hope that this
00:06:43judoka can recover her scholarship after having reached the
00:06:46podium in these South American Games 2026 held in her
00:06:50native Argentina. We move on to other disciplines because we have that Colombian
00:06:53cyclist Sebastián Castaño won the fourth stage of the
00:06:57Vuelta Mérida 2026. The day featured a demanding mountainous
00:07:01route of 129.3
00:07:03km between the town of La Playa in the Rivas municipality
00:07:07and the historic Bolívar Plaza in the city of Mérida.
00:07:11So, during the journey, the peloton rode at high speed,
00:07:14maintaining a pursuit pace throughout the stage. In the last
00:07:17kilometers, Castaño strategically took advantage of the fact that the other riders
00:07:23the general classification, also Colombian Wilson Peña, to launch
00:07:26a powerful attack, breaking away from the
00:07:29group and crossing the finish line with a time of 3 hours
00:07:3310 minutes and 34 seconds, leading a
00:07:36podium that was completely, that was completely Colombian because the fifth and
00:07:40last stage of the Vuelta Mérida 2020. 6 is being
00:07:43disputed this Sunday, September 20, on a
00:07:46closed circuit of 120
00:07:50the Andean
00:07:51capital.
00:07:58We have that the Cuban men's volleyball team qualified for the Los Angeles
00:08:022028 Olympic Games after defeating Canada in the Norceca
00:08:05Confederation pre-Olympic tournament held in the city
00:08:08of Moncton. So the Cuban team got the
00:08:12only direct ticket from the region by winning this
00:08:15Saturday by three sets to one with partials of
00:08:1825-21, 25, 23, 23-25
00:08:22and 25-22. Marlon Yan led the Cuban
00:08:26offense with 25 points, along with the great contribution
00:08:29of key figures like Miguel Ángel López and Robert
00:08:32Landi Simón. With this triumph, the
00:08:35Lions return to the highest event in world
00:08:38sports in this discipline after 12
00:08:41years of absence. Cuba had not competed in men's Olympic volleyball
00:08:45since the Rio de Janeiro 2026 edition
00:08:48in Brazil. In addition, with this historic
00:08:52classification, the team completes a perfect week,
00:08:55as they also recently secured their passage to the
00:08:592027 Volleyball World
00:09:02held in
00:09:03Poland.
00:09:08So, after the victory of the Cuban national team was confirmed, the
00:09:11president of this country, Miguel Díaz Canel, celebrated the feat through his
00:09:15social media. In a message, the president expressed the following: Cuban
00:09:19volleyball returns to the Olympic Games on Canadian
00:09:22soil against the same rival that once shattered
00:09:25our dream. This time there were no regrets.
00:09:29Ticket sealed for Los Angeles 2028,
00:09:32congratulations! So with these words, the president highlighted the
00:09:36triumph against the same opponent that in the past
00:09:41aspirations. Likewise, he highlighted the leadership and courage of the
00:09:44players to secure the historic
00:09:47qualification.
00:09:55We continue with more volleyball, but the men's team of this sport from
00:09:59Brazil secured its qualification for the 2027 World Championship in Poland
00:10:02after beating Venezuela 3-0 at the Maracanaciño gymnasium in
00:10:06Rio de Janeiro. So, marking its fourth
00:10:09consecutive victory in the South American
00:10:12Championship. Before more than 7,000
00:10:16spectators, the team led by Bernardinho
00:10:20won with partials of 25-19,
00:10:2325-14 and...
00:10:2525-19, highlighting the performance of Brian as the
00:10:29top scorer with 13 points. With this victory, the
00:10:32hosts guarantee at least second place in the
00:10:35tournament and are now preparing to face
00:10:38Argentina for the South American title and for that
00:10:41spot in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games,
00:10:45seeking to recover the crown they have historically dominated by winning
00:10:4933 of the 35 editions

00:13:24U-20 Women's Futsal 2026 in Barquisimeto, Venezuela,
00:13:28delivered highly demanding matches. In the placement
00:13:31matches, Peru defeated Paraguay to take ninth
00:13:34place, while Uruguay and Ecuador played to a four-goal
00:13:38draw, with seventh place decided in a penalty shootout
00:13:42with a 3-2 victory for the Charrúas. Subsequently,
00:13:45the semifinals were played. Brazil secured its qualification after
00:13:49beating Colombia 1-0 with another goal from
00:13:53Amazonas, who is consolidating herself as the top scorer of the tournament with
00:13:57seven goals. Both national team coaches
00:14:00analyzed the match. Many
00:14:02joys at this moment. It has been very tough, but we knew it
00:14:06could be like this, and in the end we have achieved our great
00:14:09objective. It was a game of details, no, we knew it would be
00:14:13difficult, but at the same time we worked a lot, we were able to
00:14:16rest and prepare for the game, the players did everything we agreed
00:14:20on and that also helped, even with pressure, even with
00:14:23noise, even with some actions that could take us out of the
00:14:27game, everyone was very focused, so it was
00:14:30positive. Yes, we knew we were facing a very
00:14:34strong, very powerful Brazil. I think they have
00:14:37shown it throughout the tournament. We know that
00:14:40all the structure they have, their professional tournament, they brought
00:14:44very professional players, but well, I think we played a
00:14:49in the best way and well, until the last second we were
00:14:55to take it a little further, but, as I told the
00:14:58girls, within the game there is defeat and
00:15:02it's worth it, it's worth it to lose this way, giving our hearts and
00:15:05obviously the desire and grit to defend the
00:15:09shield of our country. Despite the result, good, because I know
00:15:13I gave my best. The team and the game were very hand
00:15:16in hand, we could have won, but the best team doesn't
00:15:19always win, but the one who makes fewer mistakes and more shots, that's how games are, sport is very beautiful and
00:15:23at another time it will give us revenge, however, I recognize my team, coach
00:15:27Roberto
00:15:31Bruno who did a very good job with us, we were able to show it on the
00:15:34field and no, thank God for everything. And in the main event,
00:15:38Venezuela staged a historic comeback against Argentina, after
00:15:42being down 2-0 on the scoreboard, the Venezuelan
00:15:45team revived the match to beat
00:15:48the "Albiceleste" 3-2 and claim their spot in the coveted title
00:15:52match. Let's review the impressions from the match. It got complicated
00:15:55at times, but well, 2-0 in futsal, experience tells you that
00:15:59until the buzzer sounds, it's not over. I think we believed until the
00:16:03very end, we've been doing it in the games, we've played until the end and I think
00:16:07that... the result of this historic, this historic
00:16:10pass to the final, is the sacrifice, believing in the
00:16:13work, believing in your teammate, is believing
00:16:17that it was possible too. I think it's a
00:16:20source of pride for everyone,
00:16:22an incredible feeling, I really have no
00:16:26words to explain that feeling when I scored,
00:16:29when there was the second goal and that unexpected third goal and
00:16:33well, super happy, I'm very happy, very happy
00:16:37because we have taken Venezuela to the
00:16:40final and well, tomorrow we will face the match in the best
00:16:43way. I think it's a joy to know that so many people believe in
00:16:47us, that they know we are capable of great things, we held nothing back and
00:16:50that was the result. Everything is ready for this Sunday at the Bolivarian
00:16:54dome, the Venezuelan national
00:16:58each other in the grand final for the South American tournament cup. Cameras by
00:17:01Franklin Marcos, Gustavo Barcia, Telesur. And
00:17:05positive news continues for women's
00:17:07football in Venezuela, as the Vinotinto U-15 team won the
00:17:11gold medal in the CONMEBOL Evolución League tournament against
00:17:15local Paraguay, after 90 minutes tied at zero, everything
00:17:19was decided in a penalty shootout. In the match held
00:17:22at the Carfen stadium in
00:17:26Ipané, in that instance, Venezuela was more effective
00:17:29and decisive, scoring four goals to one for the Paraguayan
00:17:33team, relying on goalkeeper Roxandri Torres
00:17:36who saved two penalties at that moment. It should be noted that the
00:17:40Vinotinto women's U-15 team had finished the group stage in the
00:17:44northern zone as leaders with eight points after two
00:17:47victories against Peru and Ecuador and two draws against
00:17:51Brazil and Colombia, scoring three goals for and one
00:17:55against, surpassing in points their group
00:17:59selection against teams like Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador and
00:18:02Peru.
00:18:12and Brazil said goodbye this weekend to the Women's U-20 World Cup
00:18:15after losing in the quarterfinals to the Spanish team. The European team
00:18:19made it to the semifinals of the event that is taking
00:18:23place in Poland, supported by a goal from the
00:18:26Real Madrid forward, Paula Comendador, in the
00:18:3027th minute of the game, an attacker who became a
00:18:33heroine after taking a shot near the small box
00:18:37that was deflected by the Brazilian defense and went into the
00:18:41back of the net. The Canarinha pressed at the end, but the score
00:18:45did not move, and with this result, Spain
00:18:47advanced to a semifinal stage where they will face
00:18:51Italy next Wednesday, an "Azzurra" that defeated
00:18:55South Korea 1-0 this Saturday that was a moment ago, one yesterday,
00:18:58sorry, 1-0 to South Korea.
00:19:02South.
00:20:10most complex match. The government of Lula da Silva plans to ban
00:20:14online casinos and limit betting, and clubs
00:20:18warn of imminent bankruptcy if this
00:20:21happens. So, to understand the current crisis, let's look at two
00:20:24eras of betting in Brazil: one is traditional
00:20:28gambling and the other
00:20:31is digital betting. Digital gambling is today a
00:20:34driving force of debt. In 1946, President
00:20:38Eurico Gaspar Dutra banned
00:20:42casinos, those contrary to morality, and his
00:20:45decrees remained for decades. This decision
00:20:48marked an era. But in 2018, President
00:20:51Michel Temer sanctioned the
00:20:54law. With it, he opened the market to sports
00:20:57betting. This meant a historic
00:21:00change throughout the country. However, this market
00:21:03grew with great deregulation during the mandate of Jair
00:21:07Bolsonaro. The regulation and fiscalization of the law was
00:21:10postponed, there was no effective control. With the arrival
00:21:14of Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva in 2023, the state took
00:21:18action. Da Silva signed a specific regulation,
00:21:21banning betting on individual events such as
00:21:25cards, serves. This measure seeks to prevent
00:21:28match-fixing, and also aims to curb
00:21:32debt and addiction. These problems
00:21:35affect families with fewer resources. Today
00:21:38the tension is increasing in the Planalto
00:21:42Palace. Lula da Silva's government has already blocked the use of
00:21:45social subsidy cards, also seeks to prevent
00:21:48their use on gambling platforms, and is also
00:21:52preparing a provisional measure that will completely ban
00:21:56online casinos. These represent 75%
00:21:59of the operators' income. The Brasileirão
00:22:02clubs launched a joint manifesto
00:22:05where they warn that these measures
00:22:09will cause their financial bankruptcy, expressing
00:22:12deep concern.
00:22:15Lula da Silva's response to the teams has been
00:22:18blunt: their complaints are stupidity or
00:22:22absurdity, reminding them that Brazilian football was already
00:22:26great, without the need for
00:22:28betting.
