Mijaín López, four-time Olympic king and five-time world champion, will accompany the group throughout the tour as part of its preparation for the commitments set, especially the Paris 2024 event.

Accompanying Orta and Pino in Greco-Roman style will be Kevin de Armas (60 kg), Yosvanys Peña (77 kg), Daniel Grégorich (87 kg) and Gabriel Rosillo (97 kg).

Professor Filiberto Delgado will have two girls, the talented Yuneylis Guzmán (50 kg) and Milaymis Marín Potrillé (76 kg). The latter is more recovered from the eye surgery she underwent shortly before the XXIV Central American and Caribbean Games of San Salvador 2023.
