Havana, May 27 (RHC) - Cuba's Rose Mary Almanza achieved a ticket for the Paris 2024 Olympic event on Sunday, by winning the 800m with 1:58.89 minutes at the athletics meeting based in Forbach, France .

  With that result, Almanza achieved her best mark of the season and a place to participate in her fourth Olympic Games in Paris.

In the same 800m test in Forbach, the young Daily Cooper (22 years old) once again broke below the 2.00.00 min barrier, and once again showed potential to qualify for the Olympic event.

The Olympic 400m finalist, Roxana Gómez, already qualified for Paris, performed one of her best races in recent times and won with 50.84 seconds (s), while the reappeared Yoandys Lescay won the same test in sex male (46.33=.

Sprinters Shainer Reginfo and Reynaldo Espinosa fell below expectations in the 100m. Reginfo was second with 10.36, and Espinosa fourth with 10.58.
