Although the joy of the triumph is very great, the other ‘tricolor ambassadors’ of Colombian sport cannot be ignored. That’s why Atlético FC’s tweet after Colombia VS Uruguay in the quarterfinals of the Copa América 2021, ended up exalting the national team and leaving aside the other great representatives of the country from other disciplines.
First, in cycling there are Egan Bernal, Nairo Quintana, Rigoberto Urán, Miguel Ángel López, Lucho Herrera, Fabio Parra, Martín Emilio ‘Cochise’ Rodríguez, Santiago Botero, María Luis Calle, Mariana Pajón, Carlos Ramírez, Carlos Mario Oquendo, etc. . Also in athletics we mention Caterine Ibagüen, Ximena Restrepo, Anthony Zambrano. Juan Sebastián Cabal, Robert Farah, María Camila Osorio get involved in tennis. In motorsports, Juan Pablo Montoya, Tatiana Calderón, are remembered. In the weights are María Isabel Urrutia, Óscar Figueroa, Leidy Solís, Ubaldina Valoyes. Even in sport shooting we remember Helmut Bellingrodt. In boxing we mention Antonio Cervantes ‘Pambelé’, Yubergen Martínez, Ingrit Valencia. There is also skating and you cannot ignore Cecilia ‘Chechi’ Baena, Pedro Causil, Kelly Martínez, Jercy Puello, Diego Rosero, Fabriana Arias, Endrés Muñoz. In taekwondo there is Óscar Muñoz. Yuri Alvear is in judo. Jackeline Renteria is in the fight …
And so we can continue to mention characters that have left the name of Colombia very high in sports throughout history.

That is why the trill of the FPC B team could not be more wrong and unfair, in which they only put ‘la Tricolor’ as motivators of happiness and pride for the country:
“Football and the national team, the only ones that bring happiness in this country”
Perhaps it is the sport with the largest number of fans, as well as in the whole world, but football is not the only thing, much less reaching the top 4 of such an irregular competition and in which there are many doubts due to the mode of competition and the level of the participants. That is why the comments were immediate:
