Shooting adds three more places for Junior Pan American Games in Cali

Havana, October 7 (RHC/JIT)-- Cuban shooting received three more invitations and raised to four its competitors in the First Junior Pan American Games of Cali 2021, scheduled from November 25 to December 5.

According to information given to JIT by the National Commissioner Julio Fidel Hernandez, the award includes two quotas for women and one for men, so Cuba will be able to compete in the six modalities of pistol and rifle for air weapons at 10 meters.

According to these allocations, the matancera Adianez Martínez Roque will be registered in the rifle and the pistolists Elizabeth Thalía Tamayo Bruzan and Noel Quintana Delgado, from Granma and Matanzas, respectively.

The first invitation had been previously extended to Eddy Antonio Vazquez Figueredo from Holguín, after the absence of representatives from the island to the qualifying event held last March in El Salvador.

The latter has been training since the end of September at the Enrique Borbonet Polygon in this capital, and the others will do so after their incorporation from the province and after complying with the sanitary measures in force by covid-19.

With this increase it will be possible to participate in the individual tests of each sex, by weapons, and also in the mixed ones. These are the only ones to be held in the first junior continental competition, which will gather 64 shooters, as announced in the classification manual.

The competitions will be held at the CVC Bernardo Tobar Sports Club, a glory of Colombian sport who was world champion in 1990 and winner of gold in seven World Cups and three Pan American Games in the pistol modalities.

The winners in Cali 2021 will qualify for the continental multisport event in Santiago de Chile 2023. This system indicates that the quotas will be for the athletes, not for their countries.

Cuba's latest figures put the number of qualified athletes at 202 before the inclusion of these three shooters.
