“"Sign up for the PozOlimpiadas, a circuit designed to test the skill of the participants and a perfect excuse to enjoy a different summer day filled with laughter, reinforcing community spirit and sportsmanship."
Julio Ojeda, acting mayor and councilor for Physical Activity and Sports, encouraged citizens to participate, highlighting the PozOlimpiadas as an opportunity to test participants' skills and enjoy a unique summer day, fostering community spirit and sportsmanship. He added that the day will conclude with the closing of the Noches del Barranquillo project, an initiative promoted by the Physical Activity and Sports and Tourism departments to revitalize the municipality's coastal area.
The ten games featured in the PozOlimpiadas are: Tragabolas (Ball Catcher), Archery, Tangram, Cup Race, Slider, Find Your Formula, Ball Pit, Logs in the Water, Freefall, and Crossing the Bridge. New additions like Archery, where participants shoot arrows at a target, Tangram for creating figures, and the water log challenge will test competitors' skill and dexterity.
