Costa Rica To Have
Chinese Sports Clinic
And Training Centre
The Comite Olimpico de
Costa Rica (National
Olympic Committee of
Costa Rica - CON) said
Thursday that it will
get help from the
Chinese government to
perform a project of a
sports medicine clinic
and exchanges to train
athletes and coaches.
The support was
requested in Beijing by
the CON president
Roberto Verdecia to
Chinese deputy head of
the General
Administration of Sport
Feng Jianzhong, who
promised the
collaboration.
The meeting took place
in Beijing for the
participation of Costa
Rica in the Olympic
Games of Beijing 2008,
according to CON.
The idea of a sports
clinic has been
projected by the CON
since June, with the
support of the National
Counsel of Sports and
the Costa Rican Box of
the Social Security.
During the meeting with
Feng, Verdecia also
requested China
collaboration on
training.
"We will give you the
help you need," Feng
told Verdecia.
"Let's start the
studies, I don't see any
problem, we want to
help, to train your
coaches, your athletes,
because you are our
friends," Feng said.
Currently China
collaborates with Costa
Rican sports in the
construction of a new
national stadium that
will be used to practice
different sports.
