It seemed that Los Tigres were discussing the scepter, at least that's what those of us who headed down Máximo Gómez street in search of the José Ramón Cepero stadium thought. However, no, it was not the three-time national champions who were invited to the main coliseum in the city.

It was a sports party, but different, because this time the protagonists were not an athlete or a team. Those who then applauded, shouted and sang in the Cepero proclaimed themselves winners from the start. The throne of happiness was theirs. Nobody questioned it.

The journalist did not ask the question, he did not want to inquire whose idea it was that brought so much joy among hundreds of young people and children, but he did remember those editions, decades ago, of My Champion School, which without knowing how, one day they left to exist.

Because without hesitation, the Saturday inauguration of the First Recreational Sports Summer Olympics in the municipality of Ciego de Ávila showed that without many resources, when the sports and education directorates join forces, then it is our little ones who are grateful.

Let's be honest: our grassroots competitions, for one reason or another, are getting poorer every day, so this Summer Olympics should be applauded, not only for what it means for the enjoyment of our boys, but because they show that we can do more by muscle activity in the territory. The images of Osvaldo Gutiérrez confirm this.
