An event

Hi Englishbloggers!

Sincerely, I don´t like the concerts so much unless it is from an artist that I really like, but I went a few times to see a tributes bands. From the other hand I remember visited some exhibitions like "El salón del automóvil" haha or "Bodies" but nothing that I really enjoyed.

So it comes to my head sports events, like the first football game that I went to see, that is the final in 2009 between Colo-Colo and Universidad Católica in the Monumental stadium. But I want to tell you something different, in Santiago on march, 2014 were performed the X Southamerican Games, that was the perfect option to see high perfomance athletics, I remember to went almost all the days of the event with my dad, brothers, a cousin or alone haha, but it was one competition that I remember perfectly until today, the final of 5000m men. 

In this final in the National stadium participated the chilean athlete Víctor Aravena, that day were in the stadium 30.000 spectator (a high number considering that it was not football or a concert), so the atmosphere was really impressive. In the first meters Victor kept the pace but in the last 400 meters he accelerated so fast that he ended up winning the gold medal, the whole stadium celebrated and Victor was clearly excited. It was a nice moment because the sport in Chile is not usually valued but this time was the exception.

From that day, I follow Victor´s athletic career, in the following years he won the bronze medal in the Panamerican Games of Toronto 2015, in the Olympics Games in Río 2016 he was the best chilean athlete in the marathon on the 42 place.  I feel lucky to have been that day.

Here is a video from this event!
