Africa-Press – Angola. Angola has won, since the beginning of this year, 162 gold, silver and bronze medals in individual modalities, including gold, in African and world championships.
As a result of these achievements, the Minister of Youth and Sports, Rui Falcão, announced a paradigm shift, with individual sports now benefiting from special attention.
According to the official, who spoke on Friday at a meeting with journalists to exchange ideas, held at the Geleria do Desporto, in Luanda, it is necessary to improve the training conditions for these sports.
He stated that many athletes in these conditions train without the appropriate requirements, making it necessary for the federations to reverse the situation.
Rui Falcão said it is necessary to look essentially at the grassroots work, instead of what is happening where the focus is on international competition.
“The issue of individual modalities being a separate case has already ended, as a result of which they are now receiving another level of attention”, he reiterated.
He recognized that individual sports are the biggest promoters of raising the national flag on major sporting stages.
