Havana, July 11 (JIT) - Cuba won the bronze medal in the 50-meter pistol mixed team (P4) at the Para Shooting World Cup in Croatia.

Di Ángelo Loriga, Alexander Reyna and Yenigladis Suárez completed 1,526 units, behind the teams from India and Serbia.

Di Angelo shot 516 points, Alexander 507 and Yenigladys 503 during the qualifying round. The event had 29 participants, whose first eight qualified to the individual final.

Participation in this competition is part of Cuba's efforts to achieve the highest number of qualifiers for the Santiago 2023 Parapan American Games and the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.

An eighth place with a personal best was achieved by Cuba's Gerdan Fonseca in the javelin throw at the World Parathletics Championships in Paris.

His throw of 40.83 meters guaranteed him the eighth place among the 12 men who competed in the F57 category, dominated by Iran's Amanolah Papi, with 50.09.

Turkey's Muhammet Khalvandi, Paralympic champion in London 2012 and Rio de Janeiro 2016, won the silver medal.

This event guarantees direct tickets to the Paris 2024 Paralympics.

Paralympic titleholders Omara Durand (T12, sprint) and Robiel Yankiel Sol (T47, long jump) are also part of the Cuban delegation and have their debuts scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, in that order.
