May 3rd, 2008 — Mexico
The infighting among Mexico’s sports officials which we blogged about earlier has not prevented Mexican athletes, 66 of them to date, from qualifying for the Olympics.
Mexico is aiming to send 85 athletes to Beijing which would be lower than the 114 athletes who competed during the Athens Olympiad where Mexico bagged four gold medals, two silvers, and two bronzes.
May 1st, 2008 — Mexico, Scandals and Controversies
Argh! Politicking in sports. Infighting among Mexico’s sports officials has made Mexican athletes unprepared for the Olympics. Quote by distance runner Dulce Rodriquez:
“Evidently, the federation is in total disorder. We don’t know exactly where the trials are going to be, we don’t have the details and it’s ridiculous that three months before the Olympic Games we still don’t have anyone selected to do the work. But it’s an example of what’s happening here in Mexico.”
