Cuban swimmers

Havana, July 20 (ACN)-- Cuban swimmers Rodolfo Falcón, Jr and Vladimir Hernández secured spots for the Central American and Caribbean Games of San Salvador 2023, after competing in open water at the regional championship underway in Barbados.

Falcón won the bronze medal in the 10-kilometer open water race with a time of 2:01.25 hours, only surpassed by Venezuelans Diego Vera (2:00.08) and Daniel Juárez (2:00.13), according to the Cuban institutional sports publication Jit.

In the race, Hernandez finished twelfth, with 2:10.54 hours, but in the qualification ranking for San Salvador 2023 he moved up to 10th place, since among the first three were three Venezuelans and one Salvadoran, and only two competitors per country have access to the tickets and those of the host country (El Salvador) have a direct place.

Thus, Hernandez won the last of the 10 places available in the men's section.

On the other hand, the versatile Andra Becali could not travel to Barbados due to difficulties with the air ticket.

The greatest medalist of the first Caribbean Games, held three weeks ago in Guadeloupe, will have other opportunities in 2023 in qualifying pool events.
