¡LO LOGRAMOS VENEZUELA! Empatamos en el 1er lugar y el criterio de desempate nos lanzó al 2do puesto. Fue un fin de semana de altibajos pero siempre con la frente en alto y con nuestra ilusión intacta. No quiero pensar en si hubo o no alguna falla arbitral, quiero pensar que mi esfuerzo pagó un segundo lugar que sabe a primero. Es el comienzo de una carrera que promete más medallas para mi país y por eso estoy feliz, quiero agradecerle a mis coaches y a mi familia, por tanto apoyo y tanta paciencia. Gracias a todos los que siempre han creído en mi desde mis comienzos hasta hoy, gracias por tantos mensajes de cariño, a todos los jóvenes y atletas de mi país les digo; Si yo pude, ustedes también! ¡Que Viva Venezuela! @clmoreau26 @yourxhq @marena_san @coach_theronelv @tabattatela @bownmedia @fernandolence @satisofficial.us @dragon_crossfit_ccs @amazzocca #crossfit #crossfitgames #crossfitgames2019 #crossfitters #crossfitteens
