Well, I agree with you. People in Mexico doesn’t care about other sports than football (and to a minor extent baseball, boxing & diving) so they probably didn’t knew our girls were fighting for a spot.
As for the decision in weightlifting, I think the federation is to blame, as they should have monitored better every single lifter making it to the national teams. I would hope the president of the federation could be sacked after this debacle, but he probably is another protegé of that scum we have as Sports Director.
