Finally the mountain biking took place yesterday - and it
was a great spectacle to watch with 19,000 other people. It was fabulously
organised and we got there really early since I wanted to ensure our athlete
got there without mishap (rules say never drive an athlete to a competition). Amongst the medal winners there was a sprint
for the line after one and a half hours of cycling. Paulo came in 37th but as
he told the press - giving an interview on the way home - he was proud to have
represented Costa Rica and it was a great experience to ride with the best
people in the world. The crowd was fabulous and cheered everyone home which
made his day.
