Havana, September 7 (ACN)-- Cuban gladiators of Greco-Roman style are getting ready these days in Bulgaria for the World Wrestling Championship, to be held in Belgrade, Serbia, next 16-24, an event that will give five tickets for each of the divisions to the Olympic Games in Paris 2024.

Raul Trujillo, head coach of that modality, told ACN via WhatsApp that they have had good conditions at the training base in Bulgarian territory, so the team is almost in optimal shape to face the upcoming challenge, he said.

He also pointed out that some situations within the preparation were solved and right now the athletes are very well and focused on looking for the best of the results, he added.

We still have a few days left to continue polishing details in order to arrive very well prepared to this strong competition, he assured.

Among the main objectives in this event, Trujillo mentioned to reach the greatest number of places to the Olympic Games next year in the French capital.

Cuba's grequistas are Kevin de Armas (60 kg), Luis Orta (67 kg), Yosvanys Peña (77 kg), Daniel Grégorich (87 kg), Gabriel Rosillo (97 kg) and Mijaín López or Oscar Pino, in the 130 kg.

In the latter division, according to the coach, it has yet to be decided who will represent the island, Mijaín or Pino.

If it is Mijaín, owner of four titles in the five rings, he will go in search of his sixth gold medal in universal competitions; otherwise, Pino will try to achieve his fourth metal in those scenarios, in which he has won a silver and two bronzes.

As for Orta, Olympic champion in Tokyo 2020, he will try to climb the podium for the first time in World Wrestling Championships.
