Guatemala: After his historic performance at the Tokyo Olympics, the 34-year-old Kevin Cordon who finished fourth in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic badminton men’s singles category was welcomed by Guatemalan government authorities, his family, and friends when he returned to the country on Wednesday.

His achievement was so special as never before has a Latin American player involved in the fight for medals at the Olympics badminton which is mostly dominated by Asian and European players.

However, during a press conference at the La Aurora Airport, Guatemala’s Ministry of Culture and Sports took advantage of the moment to present Kevin Cordon with a small trophy to recognize Cordon’s performance at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Guatemalans quickly took to the internet and started questioning and criticizing the really “small” gift given Cordon to recognize such an athlete who was close to obtaining a bronze medal for Guatemala.

“What a miserable government for giving such a recognition,” said one of the internet users.

“This is a shame,” posted another user.

Other creative Guatemalans started making fun of the Guatemalan government by posting some funny posts below:
