El atleta mexicano Uziel Muñoz inscribió su nombre en la delegación azteca para los Juegos Olímpicos de París 2024, al ganar la medalla de bronce y la marca mínima de clasificación al registrar 21.68 metros en USATF Throws Festival 2024 de Tucson, Arizona.

“Se logró dentro del proceso y lo planificado, aunque ya teníamos la clasificación por puntos en ranking, significa que hemos trabajado una muy buena temporada, ya que hemos logrado todo lo que hemos planificado y han salido los resultados de manera excelente”, expresó el chihuahuense y becario del Instituto Estatal de Cultura Física y Deporte de Nuevo León.

El subcampeón panamericano en los Juegos Panamericanos de Santiago 023, estuvo por encima de los 21.50 metros que requería la World Athletics para clasificar a París 2024. Por el ranking, Muñoz tenía la clasificación mundial ya que se está en la posición 15.

“Teníamos la clasificación por puntos, era difícil que estuviéramos fuera, pero tanto en los resultados del trabajo salió esta parte del trabajo.

“Una competencia de buen nivel, es una final mundial, olímpica, claro que mostramos de qué estamos hecho y sobre lo que estamos trabajando”, indicó el pupilo del entrenador cubano Alejandro Laberdesque.

El atleta, junto con su entrenador, tienen objetivo estar dentro del Top-8 en esta su primera participación olímpica.

“Hay muchas expectativas para este año olímpico, deseo pasar la eliminatoria para estar en la semifinal y poder lograr la final, la expectativa es poder estar en el top 12 o incluso ocho, pero vamos sobre trabajo y pasos firmes.

“París representa una gran emoción es parte de la fuerza y el trabajo que realizamos, ya que representar mis colores en la justa más grande que tenemos es el sueño de cualquier atleta”, señaló.

Muñoz, quien entrena en el campo de lanzamientos de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, informó que estará en 15 días en el Gran Prix de Los Ángeles, así como participará en el Campeonato Nacional de Atletismo, como requisito para validar su clasificación a Juegos Olímpicos.

Además, para llegar en buen ritmo estará de campamento de preparación en Alemania del primero al 24 de julio, antes de viajar a París 2024.
