Cleiver Casanova wins Gold at the South American Games

Cleiver says on his Instagram: Gold medal at the South American Games. I’m really happy, I waited 12 years to be able to attend my first Olympic cycle, it’s not about the medal, it’s about waiting, persisting and not giving up… just being here for me is a dream come true that at one point I thought I would never be able to fulfill. And here we are, enjoying every moment, because that’s what life is all about.. little moments that make it so special. I’m cherishing every moment and keeping it in my head, because it’s a kind of competition I had never been able to live and believe me the pressure is a lot, but the satisfaction of being here makes it all worth it. I want to thank @zachety for helping me so much, technically and emotionally…. your friendship is really important to me 🙌🙌🙌😘😘, to my physical trainer sensei @blondelvenezuela for putting that methodological and scientific part to my workouts.
