Cycling, skating, biking, motocross, extreme sports on wheels and others are very common in departments such as Antioquia, Cundinamarca, Valle del Cauca. Boxing, baseball, soccer and water sports are the most practiced sports in the Caribbean Coast.
BICICROSS
I arrived in Colombia in 1976 to the cities of Bogota and Medellin, now it is practiced all over the country.
Mariana Pajon is the most outstanding athlete in the Colombian and world circuit as she is considered the queen of bmx.
BOXING
The beginnings of the boxing activity in Colombia are not very clear, its origin at the end of the nineteenth century, more specifically in 1874, when the Cuban landowner Francisco Balmaseda installed in his agricultural property of María La Baja, in the present department of Bolívar, a small gym where workers could occupy their free time. While the gym had the necessary tools for the practice of boxing.
FOOTBALL
Soccer in Colombia is the most popular sport in the country, but it is not considered the national sport. This is due in large part to the large media coverage, the various participations in international tournaments with some triumphs, and the generation of footballers that took the Colombia team to three consecutive World Cups.
