Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On December 14, 2016, the Bolivian Ministry of Sports signed three letters of exchange with the Chinese Ambassador to Bolivia, comprising the second phase of cooperation between the two on the 2018 South American Games in Cochabamba. In one of these letters of exchange, an unspecified Chinese government institution pledges to provide training to Bolivian athletes and coaches leading up to the games. The other two letters of exchange pertained to projects captured in #54614 and #54793. 170 coaches and athletes, through this project, went to China to receive training. This occurred over two periods: February to March 2017 and April to May 2018. Teams for athletics, bicicross, mountain biking, gymnastics, swimming, ornamental jumping, taekwondo, tennis, table tennis, judo, karate, badminton, rowing and boating, 14 sports in total, attended. This builds on the athlete and coach training provided through the first phase of cooperation on the 2018 South American Games, captured in Record ID#72596. The actual South American Games took place in 2018 in Cochabamba, with the opening ceremony on May 26 and ending June 10. It is hoped that Chinese assistance and technical guidance, particularly given their experience with large-scale sports events, will help Bolivia expand their influence and strengthen Bolivian-Chinese sports cooperation.
