Within the framework of the entertainment for the members of the national athletics team that closed their historic participation in the World Athletics Championships, Marileidy Paulino He had things to say and he said them.
The double world and Olympic medalist complained about several situations that, in her opinion, make her work difficult. She mainly focused on the state of the athletics track of the Félix Sánchez Olympic Stadium. Likewise, she paid her salary in the Program for High-Performance Athletes, New Values and Immortals (Parni).
The native of Nizao said that she is only charging 10 thousand pesos a month in Parni.
“I feel like there are many things I can’t say, but starting with the part of Parni that hasn’t been increased since the Olympic Games and more support for my coach,” Marileidy Paulino proclaimed.
Marileidy doesn’t like the track
The lack of a proper track is another problem. “Day after day I work too hard on the track, I get too much sun and nobody knows what I suffer. The track at the Féliz Sánchez Olympic Stadium is not in optimal conditions for an athlete like me. There is no need to be traveling to Bayaguana”, he explained.
The issue of the athletics track dates back almost three years, when it was damaged when it was rented for a religious event and the Ministry of Sports has indicated that it is part of a litigation.
Marileidy Paulino’s coach, the Cuban Yassen Pérez, has faced migratory problems and is in the process of obtaining Dominican citizenship.
The Dominican Federation of Athletics Associations and the Dominican Olympic Committee celebrated this Monday the delegation that won a gold medal in the 4X400 mixed relay and a silver medal in the 400 meter dash with Paulino. The act was celebrated in the Wichie García Saleta Hall in the COD.
