I don't doubt that he's a great cyclist

 

This is just really not his kind of race, especially in his current shape..there are easily 5 Colombians who are much more useful in this kind of race in my opinion.

Pantano who just won a stage in the current tour. I don't know who'd take his place in the time trial during day 5.

 

It still depends on some medical test he'll take after the tour is over.

CARIVAN'S COLOMBIAN PERFORMANCE OF THE DAY - DAY 1

 

Men's road cycling team

 

 

It had been a perfect race. The strategy worked and Sergio Henao has a medal almost guaranteed. Until he fell. Wonderful performance by the team, specially Jarlinson Pantano, but alas, this is cycling. But even if we didn't get the ending we had hoped for they made us dream, and they made us proud.

 

REST OF THE PODIUM:

 

2. Jossimar Calvo (artistic gymastics): Comfortable qualification to the individual all-around final.

3. Jorge Murillo (swimming): Made to the 100 BR semifinals with a national record. First colombian to swim the event under the 1-minute mark.

They took out the #1 seed, positioning themselves for a run at a medal and contributing to the bleus of les bleus during this first days of the Games.

 

REST OF THE PODIUM:

 

2. Habib De las Salas (weightlifting): First diploma of the Games with a 6th place in -56 kgs.

3. Teofilo Gutierrez (football): Scored his second goal in a very terrible, horrible game for Colombia.

CARIVAN'S COLOMBIAN PERFORMANCE OF THE DAY - DAY 3

 

Oscar Figueroa (Weightlifting)

 

 

Who else? The first male gold medalist in the history of Colombia and oficially our best lifter ever (Gold, silver and OR) got our first medal in Rio. An attempt at a new OR didn't pan out but thanks to Oscar our anthem was played for the first time in Rio and the third time ever at the Games.

 

 

REST OF THE PODIUM:

 

2. Yuberjen Martinez (boxing): Great win over Ladon (PHI) and a berth in the quaterfinals. He secures a diploma and is one win away from our first boxing medal since Seul.

3. Lina Rivas (weightlifting): Olympic diploma with a 7th place in the 58k.
