Venezuela has recovered its position in the South American Games 2010

Today I just learnt how the Venezuelan sports selection improved its performance in the current South American Games 2010. So far 35 gold medals, sharing the third place with Argentina. Comparing the present results with the last edition of the South American Games in Buenos Aires, ODESUR 2006, Venezuela has manage to increased the number and the quality of athletes, and something more important, the totality of the Venezuelan selection is very young, all of them with less than 23 years old.

A table with Venezuela’s records showed a recovery from 2006, of course the

One of the my favourite event was the speed run of 4x400m men team. I just see this maximum final spread and was extraordinary. Here is the picture of these dedicated four young sport men.
