c0smiNNN- Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Women's sport in Colombia continues to give joy. After what was done by the U-17 team in India, we remember other achievements of women who have enhanced the name of the country. The sub-17 demonstrates the future that Colombia has in women's football. This year, the Tricolor, in seniors, was runner-up in the Copa América, and the U-20s reached the quarterfinals at the World Cup in Costa Rica.

This Sunday, in India, starting at 9:30 a.m., the pupils guided by Carlos Paniagua, from Antioquia, will seek, against Spain, to continue writing golden pages as did other compatriots that we present below. The athlete from Antioquia became the first woman from Colombia to obtain an Olympic medal. It happened on August 5, 1992 in Barcelona, where she won bronze in the specialty of the 400 meter dash with a time of 49.64 seconds, which is still a South American record. Her role in the sport has been so valuable that since 2019 she has served as Vice President of the World Athletics. https://www.elcolombiano.com/deportes/grandes-gestas-del-deporte-femenino-en-colombia-mundial-sub-17-CH18970714 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
