Havana, September 7 (RHC/JIT)-- The more than 400 athletes and coaches members of the pre-selection formed by Cuba for the First Pan American Junior Games of Cali 2021 will begin to meet from Thursday at the Cerro Pelado and Giraldo Córdova Cardín high performance schools.

The decision was confirmed in a meeting held in the first of those centers, where Oscar Nuevo, head of the technical-methodological section of the Inder's High Performance Directorate, said that a day later Ciego de Avila will host the male wrestling exponents.

After pointing out that the freestyle girls will be part of the large group summoned to the capital, the executive insisted on the priority to be assigned to the protocols associated with the confrontation with COVID-19.
