This is how the "10 out of 10" Antioquian athlete factory that dreams of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics operates
There are projects that sound good, but few that are visible. The Fundación Fraternidad Medellín's project in sports meets both criteria: its impact in such a short time is so evident that it commands admiration, especially in a country where athletes are crying out for more support to fulfill their personal challenges without so many hardships.
TL;DR
- Fundación Fraternidad Medellín's "Equipo 10 de 10" program supports athletes aiming for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
- The program selects athletes who excel not only in sports but also as individuals, embodying qualities like responsibility, discipline, and leadership.
- It provides comprehensive support including high-level physical preparation, specialized medical and psychological follow-up, nutritional advice, personal training, and logistical/economic resources.
- The initiative aims to complement, not substitute, the state's role in supporting Colombian athletes.
- Six athletes are currently benefiting, with plans to increase to ten, including cyclists, triathletes, sprinters, discus throwers, BMX riders, and table tennis players.
