00:001996, so what I mean, it was celebration.
00:27The name of the athletic is Daniel Pintado.
00:31He was received as a hero.
00:33What's funny, you can see him coming to the finish line.
00:36You know how he celebrate?
00:38He celebrate like Rolando, when he score a goal.
00:42So what I mean, that was something, then he went to the Olympic Villa, where all the
00:47athletics staying, and he was received like a superstar.
00:52Congratulation, Ecuador does something very important.
00:57Later, we are going to talk about the other Ecuadorian who won a gold medal in the 20
01:02kilometers speed walking, but that's going to be later.
01:06And it was in Atlanta, 1996.
01:10This moment, if you are following social media, today was also boxing, but female
01:18boxing, there is a big controversy.
01:21Why there is a big controversy?
01:23Because there is a boxer from Italy.
01:27She lost, I mean, the fight last only a few seconds.
01:33She lost 45 seconds against a fighter from Argelia.
01:41Some people say that she shouldn't be there because the chromosomes are not allow her
01:48to compete with women.
01:49She should compete with men, but that's something, one of the subjects we are going to talk to
01:55Eduardo, Eduardo Regonesi.
01:57Eduardo, absolutely at this time, social media, everybody's talking about this fighter from
02:04Argelia, even the prime minister of Italy and the president of Argentina, Javier Millet.
02:11They said, this is not fair.
02:12We shouldn't have that in Olympics game.
02:15Women should fight against women.
02:17Men should fight about men.
02:19What's their reaction on the streets right now?
02:29I hear you very well.
02:30I can hear you a little bit.
02:32I caught the first part of the question you're talking about in Italy, Algeria is a boxer
02:39that competed in the 2020 Summer Olympics and the big controversy today is the fight
02:44against the Italian athlete.
02:46He has won several medals, but he was also banned from the World Championship.
02:51So it's a bit of controversy why the Boxing Federation banned him from the Olympic Committee.
02:59This is a very controversial subject.
03:04And of course, there's going to be a lot of repercussions.
03:06It's ongoing news.
03:09We're going to be researching.
03:10We're going to be talking to people about this because it's something that's happening
03:15right now, but it's unprecedented.
03:16It's something that it's a new issue.
03:18It's a new problem that the boxing world and the sporting world is going to be facing.
03:26I don't know if you can still hear me because I cannot hear you, sorry.
03:31Yes, Carlos.
03:33We understand what you are saying.
03:34It's not perfect, the audio.
03:36The picture is great.
03:38We see the Eiffel Towers behind you, a beautiful place.
03:43But let's talk about this star from Peru that was born today, Daniel Pintado.
03:52From Ecuador, Ecuador won the medal in the 20-minute record.
04:00Peru had a big team, Peru had three runners on the men's side and on the women's side.
04:06But on the men's side, Ecuador was a big, big surprise.
04:10It was a very exciting match.
04:12He was not winning until the very last lap where he was able to get the gold, first gold medal for Ecuador.
04:20And on the women's side, there's a lot of representatives on the female side.
04:25Unfortunately, they didn't get any medals.
04:27They got fourth place, fifth place, sixth place and even eighth place.
04:30The representatives from Ecuador, from Peru as well, they all did very, very well.
04:36In fact, out of the 20 top spots, 10 from Latin America.
04:40So it's a very, very good result for Latin America in the 20-kilometer walk.
04:46Carlos, I want to show you a little bit about what we're doing here, because I don't know if you can hear me.
04:51Again, we have a little bit of a technical difficulty, but this is the state of the champions.
04:56The champions come here to parade.
04:58The athletes, the gold medalists that won, come here, they walk for the crowd.
05:05We saw the Argentinian athlete, Marika Torres.
05:09He was walking, showing his medal, taking pictures with the crowd.
05:13Let's go and see if we can see a little bit of the field.
05:22There's people taking pictures, but not to interrupt.
05:26Look, I don't know if you can see it, Carlos.
05:28Right behind me, if you can show the camera, right there, that's where the action was happening.
05:33There's DJs, there's music, there's like a party atmosphere.
05:47Yeah, Eduardo, we are losing you.
05:50I had the chance to be with Eduardo early this afternoon,
05:57and I noticed there was a huge line to get there.
06:01You can get there for free, but you have to wait a long time, isn't it?
06:17Yeah, the audio, it's a problem.
06:20Eduardo cannot hear me, but I mean, that's happened when it's a live show.
06:24Eduardo is live from the Eiffel Tower, from this fan fest,
06:28where the athletes have a chance to go.
06:32And for this guy, Maligno Torres, it was something really important.
06:36A sport that's not popular, BMX, freestyles,
06:41is to have a bicycle, a motocross, to have an idea.
06:46I'm sure you saw the pictures or the video on TV.
06:49And now, right now, with Maligno, everybody wants to take a picture with him.
06:55Maybe we are going to be back later with Eduardo,
06:58but it was nice to see that place where, in this moment,
07:01there are hundreds of people trying to get a picture of one of those superstars
07:06that are born, those stars that are born here in Paris 2024.
07:11Eduardo, we'll be back with you any minute.
07:13Thank you very much, Eduardo.
07:14I mean, it's really close to here.
07:16It's like 15 blocks.
07:18That's the reason I was with him before.
07:20Now let's go to do a little bit of history,
07:22like we've been doing every day since we started this show.
07:26In this case, we are going to talk about what we were saying before about Ecuador.
07:31Ecuador, today, got the gold medals in speed marching.
07:39And a long time ago, almost 30 years, in 1996,
07:46the Olympics were in Atlanta, Georgia, in the USA.
07:50And Richard Perez, he did the same.
07:53He got the gold medal in these disciplines.
07:55And he became immediately a superstar in all Latin America.
08:00Let's know a little bit more about him.
08:06The 1960s was a turbulent decade in the United States
08:10with Martin Luther King's civil rights movement
08:13and the so-called Black Power movement gaining strength.
08:17In Mexico City, the 1968 Olympic Games
08:21were preparing to wear the medalist in the 200 meter dash
08:25when two faces wrapped in black gloves appear on the podium.
08:28They were Tommy Smith and John Carlos.
08:31The indelible gesture has remained for more than 50 years
08:35as the image of protest of the African-American community
08:38in the face of the worsening problems in American society.
08:42That protest could short the careers of Smith and Carlos.
08:46They were expelled and could never again represent their country at the Olympic Games.
08:51But the gesture remained for posterity.
08:54And today, all those who wanted to silence their voice
08:57with bans and insults are remembered.
09:00The International Olympic Committee continues prohibiting
09:04political demonstration at the Games and punish them severely.
09:08The third man on the podium, Australian Peter Norman,
09:11joined the protest wearing the anti-racism sticker.
09:15Like their black colleagues, Norman was expelled from the village,
09:19insulted and ostracized in his country,
09:22a nation that has also had systematic discrimination against its aborigines.
09:27Norman passed away into oblivion in 2006,
09:31and it was Smith and Carlos who carried his coffin
09:35to the Nisha in Williamstown Cemetery, a suburb of Melbourne.
09:39They never forgot the teammate who, together with them,
09:42changed Olympic history on the podium in Mexico in 1968 forever.
09:53Our Ecuadorian walker Jefferson Pérez, Olympic walking gold medalist for Ecuador in 1996,
10:02covered the 20-kilometer race in 1 hour, 20 minutes and 7 seconds
10:07at an average speed of 14.98 kilometers per hour.
10:14This walking pace Pérez would cross Caracas from east to west in just one hour
10:21and all of Paris from south to north in 3-5 minutes.
10:27With that kind of walking, why take the subway?
10:30It is one more fate of our people.
10:34Almost 30 years later, Ecuador has a chance to celebrate again in that discipline
10:40that's typical of athletism that today started speed walking.
10:45But now let's talk, I mean, this game, they are giving us a beautiful photography,
10:50not only Paris, but also the whole of Ecuador.
10:53It's a beautiful game, it's a beautiful game,
10:56but it's also a beautiful game,
10:58but let's talk, I mean, this game, they are giving us a beautiful photography,
11:02not only Paris is a great city, a nice city, a very elegant city,
11:06the athletics, they let us see some fantastic pictures.
11:11Let's go on to, I want to share with you this picture, it's about surfing.
11:15Surfing is not here in Paris, surfing has been doing that in the Polynesia,
11:21French Polynesia, in Tahiti.
11:23And the picture, I don't know if we have the picture or not,
11:26I tell you and you can see that in social media,
11:29it's about Gabriel Medina.
11:31Gabriel Medina, he can become, you know,
11:34one of the most iconic pictures of the whole world.
11:38But I want that you know a little bit about sports.
11:41That's beautiful to watch it on TV, but sometimes we don't understand.
11:46Let's see the story and how you do with surf.
11:49Surfing in the Olympics
11:56Although surfing tried to enter the Olympic Games in the 20s,
11:59it was its public succeed a century later in Tokyo 2020,
12:03that allowed it to return to Paris in 2024.
12:06In Japan, the Brazilian Italo Ferreira and American Carissa Moore shone with gold.
12:11It is impossible to surf in the French capital.
12:14Far away from Paris, more than 50,500 kilometers
12:18will be the competition on the beach of Tejupo in Tahiti, French Polynesia.
12:23The surf test this time will be held for four days.
12:27Competitors will use shorter, faster and more maneuverable boards
12:31than the long ones in their turns and acrobatics on the bottom or top of the wave.
12:37The five judges currently assess the variety, type and difficulty of the maneuvers,
12:42as well as the speed, power and fluidity with which the surfer
12:46connects one movement to the next.
12:48Fans are waiting to see the spectacular stunts of international surfing leaders
12:54such as Gabriel Medina from Brazil, Carissa Moore from the USA,
12:58Owen Wright from Australia and Bianca Butetan of South Africa.
13:09It depends a lot on the waves, but let's go back to Paris.
13:13Let's go to see Charlie Montero about the ecology part of those games.
13:18Let's go, Charlie. Go ahead.
13:21Hello, Carlos, how are you?
13:23One of the things we've noticed here in Paris is how clean everything is,
13:26and that's in part because of Ludovic Franchet,
13:29probably one of the most famous garbage collectors here in Paris
13:32and maybe even in the world.
13:34With nearly 400,000 followers, Ludovic creates content,
13:38encouraging people to clean up after themselves.
13:40And although he has many viral videos,
13:43Ludovic says he is not a star.
14:08Ludovic was also invited to carry the Olympic torch
14:10thanks to his positive message.
14:12He says it was really an incredible experience.
14:27Before we left, we had the chance to talk to Mathieu Cygnes,
14:29his colleague, who told us what we can do to make Paris a cleaner place.
14:43If you can, we have yellow bins for cardboard, plastic, et cetera, et cetera.
14:49But in each 50 meters, you have a bin in Paris.
14:53So please use it.
14:56It's really amazing the power of social media with just a few videos.
14:59This man inspired many, many people to clean up the streets and help make Paris
15:04the most sustainable Olympic Games in the history.
15:07Back to you, Carlos.
15:11Thank you, Charlie. Thank you very much.
15:13Let's check now the table medals.
15:16Who is in first place?
15:18In first place, we have China.
15:21It's amazing how great they are doing.
15:23Second place is France with eight gold medals.
15:29Then we have Japan, eight gold medals.
15:31The first is the gold medal, the last is the whole.
15:35And USA, fifth with five gold medals.
15:38Let's go very quickly.
15:39You let me go to Latin America.
15:41We have Guatemala, 22nd place.
15:43If you go down, you can see quickly 25th Argentina with one gold medal.
15:49Brazil, it has five all together, no gold, two silver, three bronze.
15:55And that's the way we are doing here in Paris.
15:57Thank you very much for being with us during this half an hour.
16:02We'll be back tomorrow at the same time in the same channel.
16:06See you tomorrow. Goodbye.
16:08Adios, amigos.
