Colombian Ronal Longa became, without a doubt, the standout overall figure of the Santa Fe 2026 South American Games. The Colombian sprinter delivered a historic and unforgettable performance on the local track, winning three gold medals: he took first place in the 100 meters, the 200 meters, and led his country’s team in the men’s 4×100 relay.

However, after proving he is the fastest man on the continent, Longa made headlines again for his charisma off the track and his growing passion for Santa Fe football. After being seen days earlier wearing the classic red-and-black bracelet, the athlete raised the stakes and, laughing, even put himself forward to wear the jersey of the Barrio Centenario club.

When asked about his speed and whether he could see himself sprinting down the wing at the Estanislao Brigadier López Stadium, the sprinter did not hesitate to send a playful message to the Colón board: “If they want to sign me, I’m open to it,” he said cheekily to the TV cameras.

With three gold medals on his chest and the affection of all the red-and-black faithful assured, Longa leaves Santa Fe as a true king of speed… and waiting for the call from Colón.
