Padilla Becerra added that, with the support they are receiving, Mexican athletes would be able to "give the fight, as demonstrated by the divers in the 2021 World Cup, where they managed to get six more Olympic places in this discipline. 

"Like this, we will be seeing great results in the coming days."

Bremer Gutiérrez said that, despite the pandemic, Mexican athletes were ready to offer great surprises.

The Value Casa de Bolsa President added that it was important to be able to help the COM in these difficult times and said he was encouraging other Mexican businesses to support the Tokyo 2020 effort.
