The director of the Organizing Committee, Mario Quinteros, exposed yesterday the organizational and economic reengineering to the members of the board of directors.
A great event. The General Directorate of the Organizing Committee of the I Bolivarian Youth Games Sucre 2024 (Cobol) carried out an organizational and economic reengineering, and projected a joust with 24 sports.
“After carrying out this reengineering, we give full assurance to the entire population that we are going to celebrate some important Games,” said Mario Quinteros, general director of Cobol, yesterday, after exposing his plan for the international event that the capital must receive between April 4 and 14.
Quinteros explained that he carried out a study taking into account the intentions of participation and the budgets of the institutions that are part of the Committee, to propose the number of sports that could be enabled in the Games.
The 24 sports that could be competed in the Bolivarian joust are: athletics, badminton, 3×3 basketball, baseball 5, handball, boxing, cycling (road, bmx and mountain), fencing, futsal, gymnastics, judo, karate, weightlifting, wrestling Olympic, swimming, Basque pelota, racquetball, squash, taekwondo, tennis, table tennis, archery, triathlon and volleyball (floor and beach).
However, six months before the Games it will be known exactly if all these sports are enabled; Everything will depend on the registration of the Bolivarian countries and if each discipline has the corresponding quorum (three countries at least).
A SUB-SITE?
Although the position of the municipal authorities was that all sports be competed in Sucre, Quinteros did not rule out the possibility that two would go to Santa Cruz.
“You have to give athletes an alternative to compete and not stand still,” the general director justified his decision, in relation to the authorization of a sub-venue.
What sports would leave Sucre? According to Quinteros, it would be archery and track cycling. The first does not have equipment, while the second does not have an infrastructure.
DISCARDED
The sports that were definitively deleted from the Games list are soccer and floor basketball, as confirmed by Quinteros.
In the participation intention that was sent to the other Bolivarian countries, soccer only had the response of Bolivia; while basketball no longer competes in youth tournaments by decision of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA, for its acronym in English).
THERE IS COMMITMENT
Quinteros ratified the commitment that the Mayor’s Office (Bs 20.2 million) and the Governor’s Office (Bs 6 million) gave months ago, although he is still awaiting an official pronouncement from the Ministry of Health and the Vice Ministry of Sports.
The national entity must bear the costs of repairing its sports venues (Max Toledo Polygym, Garcilazo Sports Center and El Rollo Pool) and the purchase of equipment for each of them.
They were joined by the San Francisco Xavier University of Chuquisaca, which guaranteed “logistical aspects and a fleet of vehicles for transportation,” according to Quinteros.
