Posted on

(by Edgardo Vazquez/Puerto Rico National Coach and Butterfly America Coach)

As a Butterfly America sponsored coach, I am proud to share my incredible experience at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where the Puerto Rican Olympic team shined with outstanding performances and demonstrated its enormous potential in table tennis.

Team Achievements

Our players, Brian Afanador, Daniel González and Adriana Díaz, sponsored by Butterfly, showed an exceptional performance and carried the name of Puerto Rico with pride on the most prestigious stage in world sport. Brian Afanador stood out for his impressive technique and determination. His dedication and focus were evident in the match, and his performance was a source of inspiration for all of us.

Daniel González demonstrated his incredible skill and resilience, playing with a tenacity that captivated the audience. His progress in the tournament reflected years of hard work and commitment, and we are very proud of his achievements and the way he represented Puerto Rico.

Adriana Diaz, our top player, continued her rise in world table tennis. With her agility, precision and competitive spirit, Adriana not only captured the attention of fans, but also left an indelible mark on the tournament. Her matches were thrilling and full of unforgettable moments, reaffirming her position as one of the best players in the world.

Support and Sponsorship Reflection

These achievements would not be possible without the continued support of Butterfly. Butterfly’s sponsorship has not only provided us with the best equipment and resources, but has also been a constant source of motivation and confidence for our players. We are immensely grateful for their support, which has been instrumental in our preparation and success at the Olympics.

Acknowledgements

I would like to take this opportunity to also thank the parents and families of our players. Their sacrifice and unconditional support have been essential for our athletes to achieve their Olympic dreams. I also extend my gratitude to the Puerto Rico Table Tennis Federation for their commitment and constant efforts to raise the level of table tennis in our country.

Conclusion

The participation of the Puerto Rico Olympic team in the Paris 2024 Olympics has been an unforgettable experience and a significant milestone in our careers. I am extremely proud of our players and all the work done by the team. We will continue to strive to achieve new successes and continue to represent Puerto Rico and Butterfly with pride and excellence on the world stage.
