Havana, February 13 (Radio Rebelde) --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, will return to Cuba on Wednesday.

Raul Trujillo's students have secured for the event under the five rings of the French capital the representatives in the 67 kg, Luis Orta; the 97 kg, Gabriel Rosillo and the 130 kg, division in which Mijaín López 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.

Regarding 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. "Here we feel at home, we have had a high level of demand, all athletes have a high motivation and it only remains for the competition to arrive."


The head coach of the Lucha Greco in our country assured that the fundamental competition will be the qualifying event, for that reason they will not give so much importance to the Pan American, scheduled between the 21st and 24th of this month. "The fact that it is so close to each other makes it less important; in Europe, for example, there is more than a month between the two events.

Here some countries with more economic possibilities will double, in the case of us we will take it as preparation, but the optimal form must be reached for the Pre-Olympic".
