The UCundinamarca Club continues to make its mark in speed skating. In two recent competitions, its athletes stood out with outstanding results, a reflection of their commitment and constant training. Last Sunday, July 20, the team participated in the Star Line Cup, held in the municipality of Melgar, Tolima. Under the direction of coach Claudia Hernández Rodríguez, 24 skaters from junior, transition, senior, and professional categories competed at a high level. The result: 36 medals—10 gold, 13 silver, and 13 bronze—in an event that brought together 520 athletes from 18 clubs across the country.

Furthermore, in the I Golden Route Cup Festival 2026, held on July 12 and 13, 2025 in Tocancipá Cundinamarca, the team participated with 12 athletes, achieving 22 medals: 11 gold, 7 silver and 4 bronze.

The team's coaches, Claudia Hernández and Maribel Chalá Castillo, both emphasized the group's discipline, effort, and commitment, as well as the crucial support of parents during the competitions.

These participations not only demonstrate the high level of UCundinamarca skating, but also consolidate its path towards new sporting achievements.
