Ever Jair Palma Olivares, 20-kilometer race walker, is a strong candidate for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, as he is currently leading the men's national ranking with a time of 1:19:26, which he achieved last month at the Japanese Race Walking Championships, which meant that he obtained the qualifying mark for the summer competition and set his personal best.

“I feel happy, it is a mark that we had already sought last year, and we had not been given the opportunity, but this time we had all the favorable conditions and now face the new challenges, we hope to improve more this season and to be able to fight for good places,” he shared, in conversation from the National Center for Development of Sports Talents and High Performance (CNAR).
