Read newspapers online has become part of daily routine in the middle of my coffee before heading out to college. I review several newspapers, both of Cuenca as Quito and Guayaquil, and well I think with this distance I can have a pretty good idea of ​​what happens in my country.

Recently I was more aware than ever, especially in the sports, for news of the races of the Cruces Basin . For obvious reasons the local media coverage given to it, but national media truth nothing comes out, just for them traditional 3 races in this country do not exist, 45 years Las Cruces Circuit , Circuit 42 years Boroto Richard Child , and 11 years of race walking Luis Chocho .

I wonder what should make Cuenca to be shown on these national media?, Or do anything, if not in Quito or Guayaquil skills do not matter.

As an athlete I can say that when we learned of racing, is through "word of mouth" and if we see a competition in another province, is because they show the results of what had been the day before, on a small note lost in the paper.

Eye is not only events of this type, a few days ago was the same with Deportivo Cuenca. Although I am a fan of Cruz del Vado , which is in the second category, I was happy to know that the D. Basin achieved a historic step in the Libertadores, and for truth in media Basin was published this, but for the mass media both Quito and Guayaquil as tv, truth was no great feat, and it was as it happened, point.

Again I ask, is that just like bad news from the provinces to publish?, Is that perhaps rank next round of the liberators is not so great, or have a career for 45 years and have been the hotbed of the most great distance runners of the country is not enough?.

Both the D. Basin as the Circle Cross Vado are traditional clubs in the heart of Cuenca, and do great things not only for the city but across the country, or perhaps there is also jealousy and regionalism in the media? or just remember the Cuenca, when they become champions and win medals?

I sincerely hope not.
