Olympic Diary II


Puerto Rico has never won an Olympic gold medal. Our Olympic athletes have won several silver and bronze medals in boxing, but a gold medal has always escaped from our hands. However, on Monday our luck may change.

Our maximum expectations are in the men's 400 meters hurdles with Javier Culson. Culson has been dominant throughout the year in his event and has the season-best mark before the Olympic Games. He arrived to London in the best mental and physical condition of his life. On Friday in the quarterfinals and yesterday in the semis, Culson finished first in his heats and with the second best time among all athletes.

All the planets are lined up for Culson. The men's 400 meters hurdles final will be on Monday at 20:45 British Time (3:45 p.m. Eastern Time). If you watch the race, Culson is the tall and slim guy with a headband in lane 5. We have our fingers crossed for Culson. Good luck!

  2. I always do the same mistake. For me it sounds natural "arrived to a place" and unnatural "arrived in/at a place".

    Thanks for your advice.

    1. I agree with you, Alex. "To" (like the Spanish) makes sense; "in/at" does not.
