Venezuela leaves Paris without medals but with its sights set on Los Angeles 2028
The Venezuelan delegation said goodbye to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games without medals. Athletes now focus on the 2028 edition to be held in Los Angeles, United States
Venezuela did not manage to get on the podium in the different disciplines in which the Venezuelan delegation participated in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which closed this Sunday.
Venezuelan athletes said goodbye with 7 Olympic diplomas
Of note is the recognition diplomas awarded to the men’s fencing team, made up of brothers Rubén, Jesús and Francisco Limardo, and Grabiel Lugo from Carabobo. Likewise, Rosa Rodríguez obtained recognition in hammer throw, Raider Rodríguez in Greco-Roman wrestling, Yohandri Granado in taekwondo, the weightlifters Anyelin Venegas, Keydomar Vallenilla and Naryuri Pérez.
On this occasion, the 33 Venezuelan athletes who participated in the Olympic Games gave their best in each match, but unfortunately they were not able to match their performance in the Tokyo Games, when Venezuela won four medals: three silver and one gold won by Yulimar Rojas.
Upon their return to the country, they begin their preparation for the next Olympics that will take place in Los Angeles, United States, from July 14 to 30, 2028.
