Havana, December 7 (RHC)-- Cuban poomsae practitioner Dario Navarro Riquelme is in the grand final of the prestigious ATU G-2 President's Cup organized by the Asian Taekwondo Union, which will award the winners on the 20th and 21st.
The Antillean entered the title discussion from fourth place, who left behind the top eight of the Challenge III international tournament, from which Dario missed out by only ten thousandths of a second last October.
The Asian Taekwondo Union virtually organized the ATU G-2 President's Cup for national teams of the planet, although the largest presence is from Asia.
That, along with Challenge III, have been the most prominent competitions held this 2021 on the planet.
Navarro Riquelme's performance places him among the world elite of the modality that will be present in the next Central American and Caribbean Games, on the way to his aspiration of being in the Olympic Games.
All the capsules sent to the organizing committee of the President's Cup were recorded at the Ramiro Chirino Combat Center in the Cuban capital.
There, the trainer Carlos Manuel Regalado and the athlete prepared the videos for the tribunal that will give its verdict in a few days.
Although it is reason to celebrate to arrive as fourth in the discussion of the scepter, ahead of powers like Taipei of China, United States, Mexico, Hong Kong and Brazil, here they expect the boy from Cienfuegos to climb the podium.
"We have great faith that Dario will be included among the top three," Jorge Enrique Navarro, father and coach of Cuba's top athlete and among the best in America in the art of poomsae (imaginary combat in taekwondo), told JIT.
