For Angel, this medal represents all the sacrifice he has had to make to be able to live up to and give a new joy to his family and his country, in addition to remembering that during the process he had to be away from his loved ones. “I thank God, my family and my mom, who was able to fulfill the dream of accompanying me here in Paris. I also thank all of Colombia.”
