4 | Their representation is minimal but even so, it has generated expectation among Panamanians who, above all, have put their faith in Irving Saladino, current Olympic long-junp champion. | Vitsivitsy ihany ny solontena saingy na dia izany aza, manana fanantenana ny Panamaniana izay mametra ny fahatokisany amin'i Irving Saladino, tompon-daka tamin'ny vikin-davitra (saut en longueur) nandritra ny lalao Olaimpika. |
5 | The website En la jugada 507 [es] (In the Game 507) comments: | Naneho hevitra tahaka izao ny tranonkala En la jugada 507 (Amin'ny lalao 507) comments: |
6 | The Panamanian flag-bearer is the Kangaroo, Irving Saladino, first Panamanian to win a gold medal for our country in the Olympics games, in Beijing 2008. | Kangaroo, Irving Saladino, no hitondra ny sainam-pirenen'i Panama, Panamaniana voalohany nandrombaka ny medaly volamena ho an'ny firenentsika tamin'ny Lalao Olaimpika, notontosaina tany Beijing ny taona 2008 izy. |
7 | Hopefully four years after this historic moment he will be able to do it again. | Antenaina fa mbola ho toy izany ihany koa ny amin'ity Lalao Olaimpika indray mitoraka ity. |
8 | Twitter users have also showed their support for the Panamanian athletes. | Naneho ny fanohanany ireo atleta Panamaniana ihany koa ireo mpisera Twitter. |
9 | Manuel Fuentes (@Manuel_P20) [es], for example, seems optimistic and he hopes that the eight athletes can come home with some medals, even though Panama has only ever won three. | Manuel Fuentes (@Manuel_P20), ohatra, toa hita fa be fanantenana ary mino izy fa hibata medaly maromaro ireo atleta valo rehefa tafaverina an-tanindrazana, na dia mbola tsy nahazo medaly telo aza i Panama. |

15 | @An_Dreetti: [es] This about Panama only taking 7 athletes to the Olympics disappoints me, shames me and saddens me… [Sic] Invest because there is money | @An_Dreetti: Mahakivy ahy ny mahita fa atleta 7 fotsiny no hisolotena an'i Panama amin'ny Olaimpika, menatra aho no sady malahelo… Vatsio satria misy ny vola |
16 | The athletes themselves have also commented on social networking sites. | Naneho hevitra tamin'ny tambazotra sosialy ihany koa ireo atleta. |
