          Solamente elogios y primeros lugares está cosechando el joven hualpenino Raúl Figueroa, de 24 años, quien la semana pasada se coronó campeón de un importante campeonato sudamericano de Bmx Flatland, o ciclismo acrobático, el cual se disputó en la ciudad de Barquisimeto, en Venezuela.

           Figueroa, quien viajó con el apoyo del alcalde de Hualpén, Marcelo Rivera, y del municipio, obtuvo un premio en dólares y un trofeo en el certamen, el cual reunió a los mejores de esta especialidad en nuestro continente. “El Rulo”, como es conocido en el ambiente del Flatland, ha participado en esta disciplina desde hace años y ha tenido igual éxito en otros torneos desarrollados en Estados Unidos y España, por mencionar algunos países.

           Cualquiera podría quedarse tranquilo con un logro de esta magnitud, pero “El Rulo” ya se encuentra en Costa Rica para participar en otro campeonato de ciclismo acrobático, el cual prometió ganar antes de viajar, gracias al auspicio del municipio, el cual le donó los pasajes aéreos, además de implementación deportiva.

           Según relató la madre de Figueroa, Jacqueline Salinas, el joven comenzó a practicar el deporte a la edad de 5 años. Cada día entrena unas 3 horas para mantenerse en las mejores condiciones, lo que no impidió que lograra titularse de técnico en electrónica en el Inacap, dando un ejemplo de esfuerzo a otros muchachos.

           “Imagínese, estoy muy orgullosa. El siempre se ha esforzado en su deporte y golpeó muchas puertas para poder conseguir ayuda”, señaló la madre del campeón, quien regresa al país a fines de junio o primeros días de julio.
