The competition calendar for the Ayacucho–Lima 2025 Bolivarian Games was officially launched with the beginning of the arrival of the Colombian delegation to Peruvian territory.
Last November 20 marked the inaugural day of the arrival of athletes and officials, who landed at the Lima and Ayacucho headquarters.
This logistical deployment seeks to ensure the complete installation of the Colombian mission, which aims to revalidate its Bolivarian leadership and begin the Olympic cycle that will culminate in Los Angeles 2028 on the right foot.
The capital, Lima, concentrated most of the first contingents. The squash team was one of the notable groups to arrive, with figures such as Edgar Alexander Ramírez, Ronald Palomino, Laura Viviana and María Paula Tovar, accompanied by their technical team.
They were joined by an advance team from the sports shooting team, including athletes such as Juan Sebastián Rivera and Juana Rueda. At the same time, the city of Ayacucho received the country’s first representatives in mountain biking, with competitors such as Iván Felipe López and Diana Carolina Cuéllar, settling in to begin their preparations.
The Colombian delegation continued to add important figures with the arrival of a new contingent on Friday, November 21, with its main destination to Lima.

Among the athletes who generated the greatest expectations are the Olympic weightlifting medalists, Yeison López and Mari Leivis Sánchez, as well as prominent BMX freestyle exponents (Sebastián Cuéllar and Queen Saray Villegas).
This block also included the arrival of archery Olympians such as Jorge Enríquez and Ana María Rendón, in addition to the inclusion of the complete badminton teams.
Friday was also crucial for the arrival of one of the largest groups: the racing swimming team, led by important figures such as Karen Durango and Jorge Mario Murillo.
The Olympic wrestling discipline also began to take shape in Lima with the arrival of athletes such as Julián Horta and the Olympic medalist Tatiana Rentería.
This constant flow of athletes, together with the mission leadership headed by Helmut Ernesto Bellingrodt Wolf, guarantees the rapid installation of the entire sports, medical and administrative structure necessary for the competition.
With the arrivals on November 20 and 21, Colombia makes significant progress in the installation of its base in Peru. In the coming days, the entry of athletes from other disciplines is expected to continue.
The objective of the delegation is clear: to use the Bolivarian Games as the first major stage for measurement and preparation on the way to the great objective of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, seeking to reaffirm the position of sporting power that the country has achieved at the regional level.
