After confirming that the one Olympic quota in street biking was given to Jonathan Narváez, the present Olympic champion (Richard Carapaz) will be unable to defend his title in Paris 2024.
Surprisingly and sadly, Ecuador won’t have the one athlete together with Jefferson Pérez who has climbed to the highest of the rostrum within the Olympic Video games.
Because of an unclear regulation of the Ecuadorian Biking Federation (FEC) and the Olympic classification system that gave just one place to our nation, Richard Carapaz should watch on tv the street check that can happen on Saturday, August 3 .
With the absence of Carapaz, Ecuador sadly won’t have two of its final three Olympic medalists on the Paris roster. Richard Carapaz and weightlifter Tamara Salazar (silver in Tokyo) won’t attend the multi-sport occasion that can start on July 26.
Within the case of Salazar, as a result of classification and quota system, it was recognized from the start of the Olympic cycle that she was going to battle for the ticket to Paris together with her associate and pal, Neisi Dajomes.
Dajomes was left with the one spot that our nation had within the 81 kilogram division by ending increased within the Olympic rating for Paris.
For sporting, regulatory and classification system causes, Ecuador should be one of many few nations that sadly will be unable to rely on two Olympic medalists who have been robust playing cards for the Paris Video games.
