Here in Panama, we are very proud of Irving Saladino, our Olympian gold medal winner.
President Martin Torrijos announced last week that the newest sports city development that is currently under construction in Panama City, will be named after Saladino.
Saladino won the gold medal for the long jump of 8.34 meters in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It was the first gold medal for Panama in the Beijing Games.
Torrijos made the announcement for the naming rights in a press conference on the shore of the Panama Canal. The naming coincides with the push by the Panamanian government to encourage sports among youth.
Saladino is truly a national treasure four the developing nation of Panama.
