Beijing Winter Olympics LATAM Teams<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics<\/a> <\/strong>are already underway, where the best athletes in the world in these beautiful disciplines gathered to prove their worth and leave the name of their countries as high as possible.

The main mission of the\u00a0Latin American\u00a0<\/strong>countries in these\u00a0Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics\u00a0<\/strong>is, without a doubt, to win a medal, be it gold, silver, or bronze. It is a complex mission; because the culture of winter sports in Latin countries is not as extensive as in Europa, Asia, and the USA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, we trust that the claw of our Latin blood comes out and we can tell the world that; although we are not a power in these sports, we will always be present to give our best.

So far in the Olympics<\/strong>, we have a domain of the favorite teams to win medals in the different disciplines. Next, we will see how the TOP 10 <\/strong>of the Olympic<\/strong> medal table is at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Although throughout the history of the Winter Olympics, Latin American<\/strong> countries have not had outstanding participation in the medal table, we can point out that all the athletes arrive with excellent preparation and are willing to leave the name of each of the countries they represent at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we will observe how the participation of Latin American athletes<\/strong> by country has been; at the start of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazil<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first presentation of Brazil<\/strong> in these Olympic Winter Games<\/strong> has been through Manex Silva<\/strong> in the discipline of Cross-Country Olympic Skiing<\/strong>, where, in the competition for medals, he could not have a good race and finished almost in the last position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peru<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like Mexico, Ecuador and Chile, Peru<\/strong> also had its female representative in the Alpine<\/strong> Olympic Ski discipline<\/strong>, Ornella Oettl Reyes<\/strong>. Ornella<\/strong> finished in position #46 in the classification, with very high times of 1:12.52 and 1:11.53, with a total of 2:24.05, 28.36 seconds behind the Swedish.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puerto Rico<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The last Latin American team that has participated in these Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics<\/strong> has been Puerto Rico<\/strong>; through its athlete Kellie Delka<\/strong> in the Olympic Skeleton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first practice carried out, that is, in series 1, Kellie<\/strong> finished in the last position of the table, position #24 with a time of 1:04.39, 2.05 seconds more than the leader of the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In series 2, the Puerto Rican<\/strong> improved her participation and therefore improved her place in the classification, since she ranked #21 with a time of 1:04.42.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Delka<\/strong> had 4 official practices in the Olympic Skeleton<\/strong>, in which her best result was in the last practice when she finished #20 with a time of 1:04.52.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we have been able to observe, the performance of Latin American<\/strong> athletes in these Winter Olympic Games<\/strong> has not been the best, although there are still several competitions to be played and other athletes are waiting for their moment to show their best version, we believe that it is difficult for Latin America<\/strong> can bring a medal from these Olympics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the coming days, different Latin American<\/strong> athletes will continue to search for their best version to try to bring a medal, not only for their country but for the region, since we are all supporting them, regardless of their flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
