Without setbacks, the runner and image of Bancamiga, Joselyn Brea, won this Sunday in the Caracas Rock 10K, which brought together more than 6,000 participants at its start on the Autopista del Este.

Brea crossed the finish line located on the main avenue of Las Mercedes with a time of 34 minutes 22 seconds, escorted by María Garrido with 36.04 and Kharls Bravo, with 37.48.

The Venezuelan flag bearer for the Pan American Games in Santiago de Chile was seen calm during the journey through the streets and avenues of the Baruta municipality, always accompanied by her manager Marvin Blanco.

“Tomorrow I am leaving for Paipa (Colombia) to continue my preparation for the Pan American Games. Today I felt very good and the race was very well organized. Caracas Rock is my favorite race because of its high level. I loved the Bancamiga point on the route. “It is wonderful what Bancamiga is doing for sports and running in Venezuela. Thank you for the support.”

The best runner in the history of Venezuela in the 5,000 and 10,000 meter dash expressed her gratitude to Bancamiga for the support it offers her on her path to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where she hopes to qualify in the distances of 1,500 and 5,000 meter dash.

Among the men, Colombian José Mauricio González reached the top of the men’s podium, winning with 29.48, leaving Miranda State native Whinton Palma (30.21) and Gabriel Guzmán (30.38) in second place.

The race started at 7:00 am from the Valle Arriba golf courses, with the presence of runners from all over Venezuela, on a route that had as its most demanding points the return slope at the level of Prados del Este and the ascent towards Chuao, where Bancamiga precisely placed an entertainment point that aroused the enthusiasm of the participants. It was also like “a breath of oxygen” to continue toward the goal, said Rubén Darío González, one of the participants.

And at that point near kilometer 7, dozens of collaborators and volunteers from the bank cheered and shook hands with the athletes, in addition to being able to enjoy a good musical touch.

During the press conference, Marlon Monsalve, from Gatorade Venezuela, thanked Bancamiga Banco Universal and its executive president Ariel José Martínez, who at times was also supporting the runners at the entertainment point, for their support of Caracas Rock and the sport.

Near Plaza Alfredo Sadel, Bancamiga parked its mobile unit, which since June has been traveling throughout the country to connect more Venezuelans with banking services and bring them closer to the products and services that the bank offers such as its accounts in bolivars and in foreign currency, points of sale and the Bancamiga Mastercard Debit Card, which allows you to make online purchases, subscribe to streaming platforms and make withdrawals abroad.

This Sunday, once again, Bancamiga reaffirmed the importance for the institution of supporting all those initiatives that seek the well-being and better quality of life of Venezuelans.

The best 5,000 and 10,000 meter runner in the history of Venezuela, Joselyn Brea, considers that this edition of Caracas Rock is very special, for having the support of Bancamiga, which becomes an additional stimulus to try to break the record of the proof.

During a visit to the Bancamiga offices for a photo session, to record several advertising spots and to thank the bank for its support, he said that he will fight to lower this Sunday “a little more” the mark he established in the last edition of Caracas Rock, a competition that he described as his “favorite.”

And it is perfectly understandable that this is the case because every time he participates he wins and breaks the distance record. This is what it has been doing in recent years. In 2022, she crossed the finish line with a great time, beating his best time of the competition by more than two minutes.

“I will fight to lower the record of 32 minutes 36 seconds. Last year I improved the previous one, which was 34.24. If the weather helps us it will be a great race, and it will serve to gain a bit of a strong rhythm to start working in Colombia in preparation for the Pan American Games in Santiago that are close, and where rivals from the United States will be present, who always do it more difficult. I will give everything to be among the medals in these Pan American Games.”

“I am excited that Bancamiga accompanies my dream”

Brea thanked Bancamiga for its support on her path to Paris 2024, which has allowed her to be in the Diamond League, in the World Athletics Championships recently held in Budapest and to maintain her momentum towards the Olympic Games.

“I am very excited and pleased by the support that Bancamiga gives me and my coach throughout this entire cycle of preparation for Paris 2024. I remember perfectly when Alberto Camardiel called me to inform me that Bancamiga will be accompanying my dream. I was in Colombia and I cried. For a long time I had hoped for support like this, and for Bancamiga to bet on me was exciting.”

For the President of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga Banco Universal, Carmelo De Grazia, supporting sport is essential, due to its direct association with well-being and quality of life, and “when this support contributes to elevating the national tricolor as Joselyn has done it this year in different settings in Latin America and Europe, pride increases for the institution.”

“Thank you Bancamiga for believing in me”

Joselyn Brea expressed that she was very happy to be, along with weightlifter Keydomar Vallenilla, the flag bearer of the national team in the Pan American Games that begin on October 20 in Santiago, Chile.

“It is exciting and at the same time a great responsibility to carry the flag of Venezuela. “I’m going to give everything in the 1,500 and 5,000 meter races to get medals for my country,” he said.

In the conversation, he referred to the experience of participating in the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, where he faced the two best 5,000 meter runners today: the Kenyan Faith Kipyegon and the Dutch Sifan Hassan.

“I have a super nice experience, because being next to them is always very motivating and rewarding. Last year I had the opportunity to compete against Hassan in Aragon, but I was not in as good shape as I am now, although in the end I fell a little behind. In a competition of that level you realize that all the effort has been worth it and why you are here running.”

Finally, he stated that, together with Bancamiga, he can already see himself in Paris. “And this has me very motivated to continue working hard to achieve this dream. In Rio 2016 I couldn’t be there because I was injured, for Tokyo 2020 I got Covid. I am 100 % focused and confident that we will be in Paris. Thank you Bancamiga for believing in me.”
