More than 70 fights in the discipline of judo and wrestling were held this Saturday in the Gymnasium of the National Sports Institute (IND), as part of the VIII Central American Student Sports Games of the Council of the Central American Isthmus of Sports and Recreation, CODICADER 2023.
“On this occasion, athletes from Panama, Honduras and Nicaragua, between the ages of 13 and 14, are participating,” said Marlon Torres, Co-Director of the IND.
Likewise, he pointed out that combats are taking place in the disciplines of taekwondo and karate do, at the España Sports Center.
“The event has been organized by the Council of the Central American Isthmus of Sports and Recreation. It serves for integration and promoting peace between peoples and governments,” said the official.
He added that Olympic wrestling consists of hand-to-hand throwing techniques, where each throw has its score, has its value and the main objective is the back touch.
For his part, the athlete Silvio Useda Hernández, 13 years old, originally from Masaya, shared his joy of winning his first judo match this Saturday.
“I am very happy, because it is the first time that I have qualified in a Central American competition participating in judo. I tried very hard to train and I am very happy because I already won my first fight and I still need the second fight to compete for gold,” he said.
Also, he commented that for the practice of judo, the main thing is to be disciplined with a counterattack and attack technique.
