Maximum motivation for the 2024 Olympic Games
Having managed to win the gold medal at the World Cup in Paris is undoubtedly some extra motivation for the Mexican mermaids since facing the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, any help, no matter how small, can be and make a difference and without a doubt this first place achieved is something quite positive and much more special after being crowned at the Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile in 2023, thus breaking a total drought of 30 years without having a full team in this discipline, the last time being at the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996.
The sirens of Mexico have been doing what it takes to stay in the elite worldwide in recent years, having won medals in the World Cup that took place in Egypt 2023, where there were 3 gold and one bronze.
Now the next mission without a doubt is to repeat the same successes and surpass them in the maximum sporting event that is the Paris 2024 Olympic Games where without a doubt the Mexican mermaids look like candidates to get a place on the podium and obviously the fixed goal is the gold medal.
The president of the Mexican Olympic Committee, María José Alcalá sent a message full of pride, joy and obviously congratulations to all the girls for their great logo at the World Cup: “Always proud of these great athletes. Win gold in the Artistic Swimming World Cup, beating China and Spain. My respects and may the successes continue towards Paris 2024.”
