ANALYSIS PERFORMANCE OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND OBTAINED BY THE MEDALS IN MAYAGUEZ PUERTO RICO 2010
BY Mario Emilio Guerrero megkrantz@hotmail.com When a country hosts an event like the Central American and Caribbean Games, its advantage over other participating countries is very significant. Hence, always, when countries are hosts to reap a greater number of medals, with respect to their shares as visitors.
historically has been and Mayagüez 2010 there has been no exception, and that Puerto Rico achieved a notable increase in production of medals, compared to the total reached 4 years ago in Cartagena, Colombia.
home advantage
What factors contribute to a nation for their local conditions? are many and varied: the athletes do not have to travel, avoiding what is often a difficult process of adaptation, competing in their natural habitat in a setting they already know, participating in all sports, which naturally increases the medalistics possibilities, the government's economic investment in the preparation of his delegation is much higher, it has the public support that wholeheartedly supports their athletes and put tremendous pressure on referees and judges, and what es muy importante, tiene a su favor las decisiones de esos mismos oficiales, al momento de producirse resultados reñidos o cerrados, en que la apreciación es un componente determinante. En estos casos, difícilmente los fallos se produzcan en contra de los competidores del patio.
Por su condición de dueño de casa, no había dudas de que Puerto Rico aumentaría en Mayagüez 2010, la cosecha de preseas registradas en Cartagena, que fue de 96 medallas. Los boricuas conquistaron 71 medallas más en Mayagüez, con relación al 2006 y si tenemos en cuenta la presencia de potencias regionales como México, Venezuela y Colombia, que también incrementaron su cantidad de preseas, the Dominican Republic does not have much room to grow, about their work recorded in Cartagena.
However, the native delegation went from 97 medals in 2006 to 133 in Mayaguez, which in my opinion a great achievement of Dominican sports, and that despite the narrowness already explained, it could significantly increase the total medals .
"Why there is an increase of just 2 medals over the Games of El Salvador 2002, when Cuba did not participate, having spent 8 years between the two events? simply because Puerto Rico does not compare to El Salvador.
While Salvadorans took the Cubans were not present in their games to win 123 medals, the Puerto Ricans in Mayaguez, in the same circumstances got 167 medals.
