Havana, February 14 (RR) - The Greco-Roman wrestling team, which successfully completed its preparation for the Pre-Olympic Games in the Mexican city of Acapulco, scheduled for the end of this month, returns to Cuba on Wednesday.

The Cubans trained in three European countries: Norway, Croatia and Bulgaria.

Raul Trujillo's students have secured three tickets for the Olympic Games in the French capital: in the 67 kg, where Olympic and world champion Luis Orta will be; the 97 kg, with CM Gabriel Rosillo and the 130 kg, division in which Mijain Lopez will be looking for his 5th Olympic gold medal.

Kevin de Armas (60 kg), Yosvani Peña (77 kg) and Daniel Gregorich (87 kg) have yet to get their tickets to the Olympic Games.

On the preparation they have been doing since the beginning of the year in the old continent, the head coach of the classical modality made a statement to Radio Rebelde. "We evaluate the preparation as excellent, especially on the part of the three who have yet to qualify. In the case of Kevin, he could not be in Norway due to visa problems, but since he joined the team he has trained very hard".

Trujillo thanked again the welcome given to the Cuban wrestlers in Bulgaria, as it happened before the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
