Paula Pareto was a stranger to the
most of us
a day later the cover of
the great media would appear
television would talk about san radio
I had gotten the bronze medal
at the olympic games in Beijing 2008
in his 28 years later he
would transform into the first woman
argentina in achieving a gold medal
in an individual sport
brayan toledo is 23 years old ago
months decided to move from peace frames to
finland in order to continue
evolving in the launch of
Javelin became known to many
when in 2010 he achieved the medal
of gold at the Olympics of the
youth
last year he was a finalist in
helmand auro river olympic games
practice shot put
among his most outstanding achievements are
find the Olympic final in london
2012
the sixth place in the indoor world
better position for an Argentinian to
same as the seventh place in the
World of Moscow
also in the year 2010 collection of
the five best Argentine athletes of
the decade but they have in common
paula pareto braian toledo y germán
lauro in addition to being athletes
Olympians that the three reached their
sport by chance
none of them chose to practice it
because he met him at school and for
what to listen to sports programs
debating about sud or athletics
it was chance that wanted them to
they represent us an Olympic game
so they have come to that place and for
we ask you to win that
bring us a threat
paula pareto began with the PSUV at 9
years was for his brother who knew
this sport every day I traveled from
San Fernando the Silver because it was
students the club that adopted him three
one-way between two classes
hours of training was left to
sleep in a friend’s house
another two hours of training by the
morning and three hours back to san
fernando
all own effort brian toledo
I had a running track at five
blocks from your house again
chance that who today is one of
the highest figures of athletics
Argentinean it was decided to practice
javelin throw at his school
far from practicing that sport
german lauro knows his entry into the
school with carlos herrera started
enter lauquen trenque from there
moved to the federal capital to deliver
the dinner and then he went back to his city
natal place when I was in high school
I never dreamed of being an Olympic athlete
again chance and self-effort
they put lauro among the athletes
most important in recent years
they started to think how much
sportsmen that we are missing
for not having a state policy and
depend on chance I’m going to go back to
1998
I was in first grade in this same
school between the months of June and July
the soccer world cup was played
France leaves since I was a kid I realized
I wanted to be a journalist sports no
I just enjoyed watching football
I also stayed up late watching
the lionesses when they were champions of the
world in 2002 or waiting for him to fight
daniela krukower judoca champion of
world and I would not get a diploma
olympic at the olympic games
Athens not only the most popular sport
I was fascinated came 2011 and
he made a coverage of the games
Pan-American Games of Guadalajara and
deepening my knowledge about
athletes that represents us in a
Olympic game and I realized that the
be ambitious is what makes us win
but that would be much more those who earn
are those that represent us
if we had a state policy
That ‘s why I came up with that
schools in the city of Buenos Aires
start practicing sports
olympics
I think about the city of Buenos Aires
because next year they are going to
carry out the Olympic Games of
youth
but if the idea goes well why not
think about extending it to the whole country
if it’s done most of you are going
to say that it is impossible that there is a
lot of problems and obstacles that
overcome
I propose if you want and traveling
one by one the problems and go thinking
different solutions
the first problem is the infrastructure
how to think that each school has its
pool your own athletics track your
own tata mine where to practice sweat
I have a solution that the classes are
in the public parks of the city the
park saavedra park lezama el
park three february the park the
city to name a few
in different areas of the federal capital
in this way the investment would be
only in those points of Buenos Aires
the second problem is precisely the
investment that the materials are expensive
if they are cheaper what you believe
a javelin costs thousand 350 pesos
a bullet 300 pesos a hammer 800 pesos
and a two millionth athletics track
800 thousand pesos
besides the materials would be
shared among all the schools the
budget will come out of the budget in
education and sports of the city
just the education budget
4,518 million pesos is the highest
of all
numbers that show us the budget
It would not be a problem
another problem in the organization
of the classes how to think so many
schools to bring them at the same time
if it is in so few places the classes
would be shared among all
schools
the benefit would not only be sporting
there would also be a social benefit
I will have the possibility to know a
bunch of new guys of which
could be my friend
on the other hand those tedious classes of
Gymnastics could become a place
of enjoyment because that sport that I do not
like what is practiced in my school
now it would be 30 options of
different sports which I will
to be able to practice the fourth problem are
the physical education teachers every
professor would be a specialist in
sport that dictates
in this way the students that are based
highlighting would have a specialist his
side to keep improving
again double benefit on the one hand the
students and on the other for teachers who
may specialize
the last and fifth problem is the
competitiveness and if the big goal is
have a lot of guys practicing
many sports that the school is
a nursery that is the previous step to
dine or trainings with coaches
own but the classes will be for
all for those who want to follow
highlighting for those who want
enjoy a class
gymnastics and meet a lot of new
friends
I wonder, can you imagine the amount
of guys it would not be a huge variety
of sports that could be practiced
think about what it ‘s like to play football or
practice the most popular sports do not
they would play another sport if they had that
possibility
today there are thousands and thousands who john
inferiors of clubs that do not have
possibility of reaching first
but that could probably
stand out in case of saying practice
another sport although I think that in its
Most do not do it out of ignorance
obviously it’s not the only thing
missing the investment should continue but
the first step would be given
imagine the more than 300 thousand boys
who attend state schools
from the city of buenos aires practicing
more than 30 sports and the last game
Olympic
we went with 213 athletes we participated
in 25 sports and we achieved four
medals with how many athletes
we could think about going the future
making a parallel in the past
Olympic Games
Colombia won eight medals twice
that our delegation and mexico 5 a
more than us
also they who were many less
athletes that we took 125
they managed to participate in one more sport
that demonstrated that countries with
investment policies and thinking about
the long term have better results
that ours out there with much less
sports history that we also
It is demonstrated that it is false to incentivize
the boys to practice more
sports to think that in the future the
national delegation continue to grow and not
do it only in the sports of
team that are the most popular in
our country but also in the
individual sports which is what most
do not miss next year they are going to
perform in our country games
Youth Olympic more
precisely in the city of good
Aires guys between 15 and 18 years old in
the framework of them the organization
has a plan very similar to ours
friend that I mentioned earlier
the difference would be that the classes
will be done once a month and in the
same schools
In addition, the plan is its end in order to
the games in October 2018
the idea is also that he talks with
athletes in schools and clinics
of the d
I think it ‘s a good start but that
we need to think in the long term if
we want to continue growing at the
Olympic sport
countries like the Czech republic greece
or Poland they want their students to
get acquainted with Olympic sport
from the school
the results are in sight 11 10 and
seven medals respectively
the last Olympic game Everyone
It was better than us
another option is to copy what you do
united states in universities
there are options and a lot the subject is
understand that education and sports
they must go hand in hand
a few years ago and thanks to the creation
of enard most athletes
Olympians receive a scholarship thanks to
than 1 percent of what we spend
in cellular telephony is dedicated to
sport
the problem is that this scholarship reaches the
most cases when
athletes salt achieved a medal and not
to help achieve the real equally
that thanks to the creation of the enard it
has improved a lot in recent years
but that policies are still needed
long term incentive
if we want to keep growing and we
as spectators
we have to understand that we can not
ask an athlete who has reached
represent us in an Olympic game by
chance or own effort
that they bring us a threat out there
when my children go to school
can they say practice judo or
javelin throw
thank you very much
[Applause]
