The Argentine Deaf Basketball Team could stay out of world greece due to lack of institutional support.
The sports event will begin next June 12 and will run until June 24 of the same month in the city of Heraklion.
The reality indicates that the budget to undertake the trip is not enoughthe days go by, and the clock slowly begins to hang the illusions of these young people who all they want to do is represent the country and leave the Argentine flag at the top of the podium.
in dialogue with Ambit, the President of Los Topos (as the selected team is known), Adrián Reynososaid that “we lack 2 million to be able to pay for everything and a million more if they want me to travelbecause I ran so as not to take the place from the doctor ”.
“The boys travel on 10 at nightbut we still don’t have the money to finish paying for the accommodation”, he added with anguish.
With the logical desperation of getting the missing money To complete the transfer and stay in Greece, Reynoso explains that “there was help, but the truth is that it is not enough and we don’t know what else to do.”
So we depend on the Secretary of Sports of the Nationwith a more limited budget. We ask them for what we need and they give us what they can, or want, or think we deserve. We only have one scholarship holder, the coach. In this case we ask for 20 tickets and stay. They gave us money that was enough for 18 tickets and only until Athens”, he remarked.
The reasons why they need to resort to external support
“By being Deaf, the IOC (International Olympic Committee) does not accept us in Paralympics. That way we can’t be under the High Performance Orbitwho always cover everything 100% and have almost all the players and coaching staffs with scholarships”, adds the President.
And complet: “FABS is taking care of all other expenses. The internal route, hotel, food, accreditations, registration, transfers, extras and now the food for the boys in the concentration of La Plata, because they were going to give us a full payment in the Dow Center of Bahia Blanca and fell.”
