Cuba's Denia Caballero offered the first discus title to her country in the history of World Cup by winning in Beijing -2015, beating her  rival, Croatian Sandra Perkovic.

Denia Caballero, a recent Pan American Games champion, won with a throw of 69.28 meters, achieved in her first attempt, and stood before Perkovic, which in the last attempt took silver with 67.39 meters and German Nadine Muller 65,53

"I am very pleased and excited.  Winning the gold medal at the Pan American Games did not give me the confidence to win here but it was a good preparation for a competition like the World Cup," said the Cuban athlete after winning the gold.  She wrapped herself in a Cuban flag at the end of the competition at the Olympic stadium in Beijing. 

With the gold of Denia Caballero, Cuba obtained its first world title in discus and the Caribbean island broke six years without global gold since Yargelis Savigne, now retired, was crowned in the triple jump in Berlin 2009.

The day could be historic for Cuba, due to Yaimé Perez, who was third, and overcome by the Croatian Perkovic in the last attempt, so the Cuban finished fourth ( 65.46 ).
