The Dominican Republic’s Quest for Olympic Glory at Paris 2024

The Olympic Games Paris 2024 They are the most important macro event for the Dominican Republic this year, which began this Monday.

Marileidy Paulino and the Queens of the Caribbean They would be the leading figures of Olympic sport and candidates for medals for the Paris Games.

From July 26 to August 11, the country will be present at this universal event in which it will seek to get on a podium for the sixth time in a row, a streak that dates back to the 2004 Athens Games with Félix Sánchez’s gold in the 400 meters/ hurdles and for the seventh time by adding that of Pedro Julio Nolasco in the Los Angeles 1984 event.

Great challenge for great athletes.

Marileidy Paulino She is the great candidate to get on the podium in the 400 meter dash and equally in the mixed relay, if she works in time.

She is involved in the two highest guaranteed medals for the Dominican Republic.

The Dominican Republic has had consecutive podiums in the Olympic Games, since Athens 2004.

Weightlifters with Dahiana Ortiz and Beatriz Pirón are ideal candidates, although not with the percentage offered by Paulino and his mixed relay. Crismery Santana enters the forecast, but over the months we will have to see if he improves in the new category that he now faces.

Boxing presents its candidates, as a combat sport, it is the one with the highest percentage, with respect to taekwondo; judo and wrestling.

Within all this, where to locate the Queens of the Caribbean?

Outside of Paulino and the mixed relay, everything else is under question.

But not the Queens, if you take into account the last competitions in which they have been present, without a doubt Turkey (1), United States (2), Brazil (3), Serbia (4), Italy (5), China (6) and Poland (7), are eyeing this Caribbean team, number 8 in the world ranking and with a budget that is, with little trouble, much less than 20 percent of what those powers have in their records.

It is not for less. The women’s team said goodbye to the last Nations League with victories over South Korea (3-0); China (3-2) and Serbia (3-2).

To show that it was no coincidence, the women’s team lost the first day against the Czech Republic. The tremors came, but nothing to worry about. Ukraine (3-0); Serbia (3-1); China (3-1) and Netherlands (3-1), all counted as a victory.

This is how he won his 2023 world Olympic qualifier, despite the Czech Republic’s victory.
