To honor the winner of a bronze medal for some people like to name their kids after their idols or heroes.

I don't know where else to write this: People in are going crazy for the winners (I can't wait to see how the names "Adriana" and "Jean Pierre" climb on the list of most common names for babies in 2024, ) Already there are songs and poem written about the medalists, the government and private sector had stated congratulations to both medal winners. Businnes all over the country have stated gifts for the medal winners: 1, 3 and 4 years of food at restaurants, 1 year free gasoline for Adriana, free flights all over the country, spa, nails, hair services for free mostly for Adriana, hehe. Even people on radio saying that they will cook the Christmas tamales for both winners for free, or free "tuk tuk" rides from one moto taxi owner in a small town. People are happy, you could see it on the streets and listening to conversations about it. Happy news are good for Guatemalans right now. I hope all medal winners get that treatment in their countries, or at least at their cities or towns. No word yet about how much the medal winners will get as a cash reward from Government and NOC. Will see.

I meant the younger, José, not Erick.

It's my birthday! So I got up to watch the Barrondos right at midnight. Hopefully a good result, top 10 por José Barrondo would be fantastic.

at the top of the Latin American countries??? Who would have thought??!!! At least for 1 day we will enjoy it soooo much!!!

Too bad for Guatemala there is not Mixed Trap Team this Games.

Good for for another medal!

I think it is the same as with many developing poor countries with big population: the access to sport facilities, nutrition, corruption (benefits to some elites) and poor organization managment has make a toll on the success. It was until the late 1990s and early 2000s that things starte to change, first at the Central American and Caribbean Games and then Pan American Games, where Guatemala started winning more medals. things are changing and hopefully the trend will continue. To be out of the list of countries benefited by Universality quotas, qualifying directly about 70% to 80% of total athletes is the changes that is seeing. I will add that Football has been the most popular sport in the country for decades, and the budget, facilities and promotion of it dominates over individual sports. So, that situation also influence in what sports kids and teenagers practice.

And with its smallest delegation since 2008 and 11/16 in size among all participations.

Third medal ever for Guatemala! First woman to win a medal at Olympic Games! First gold at Olympic Games! First olympic record set by a guatemalan at Olympic Games! Adriana Ruano is a wonderful champion!

Is Olympic Record!!!!!
