Guadalajara, Jalisco, March 24, 2023 – This week, Selva Mágica, the largest park in western Mexico and a member of The Dolphin Company family, a worldwide park operator, welcomed the Jalisco national team of adapted sports to celebrate the victory obtained last November during the National Commission of Physical Culture and Sport (CONADE in Spanish) 2022 Paranacionales.
The CONADE Paranacionales is an event that brings together the best athletes in 44 conventional and 11 adapted sports disciplines between 10 and 23 years of age. Its objective is to summon the best Mexican children and youth athletes in order to offer them the possibility of being integrated into the pre-selections and national youth teams.
During last year’s edition, the Jalisco team won 233 gold, 104 silver and 58 bronze medals in disciplines such as para-athletics, para-swimming, para-cycling, among many others.
“We are proud to receive these great athletes who strive every day in their training to achieve excellence in the various disciplines in which they participate. We are really impressed by the number of medals they received in the paranacionales, undoubtedly it is a product of their commitment and love for the sport, that is why for Selva Mágica it is important to support this type of activities, and there is no better way than receiving them in our park to offer them an unforgettable experience in celebration of this great triumph”, commented Miguel López, Selva Mágica’s General Manager.
The celebration was attended by the Director of CODE Jalisco, Luis Fernando Ortega Ramos, para-athletes, coaches and technical staff, who also celebrated the announcement of the progress of the State Paralympic Center, a space where they can continue to capture and train talent.
