Havana, October 28 (JIT)-- Four winners of the First Junior Pan American Games of Cali 2021 enhance the squad of nine athletes that will represent Cuba in the World Youth Boxing Championship of Alicante 2022, in Spain, to be held from November 14 to 26.

They are Ewart Marín (51 kg), Kryhztian Barrera (75 kg), Luis Reynoso (80 kg) and Ronny Álvarez (86 kg), who will have among their teammates two other winners of the continental event organized at the end of last year.

We are talking about Jorge Forcades (67 kg) and Adrián Fresneda (92 kg), silver and bronze medalists, respectively, and also considered pillars of the team under Santiago Suárez.

The team, which covers from today a preparation base in Paris, is completed with Liester Cantero (60 kg), Pavel Echaide (63.5 kg) and Pedro Veitía (71 kg), and intends to erase the dissatisfaction generated by the work of the Island in the previous edition.

The actions took place in the Polish city of Kielce and the booty consisted of a gold metal, won by Jorge Luis Felimón (91 kg), and bronze medals by Dany Landys Lafos (69 kg) and Fernando Arzola (+91 kg).

The presence of nine competitors made us think of a bigger harvest, but the reality was different. The current expectations placed on the scene more solid performances of the country that leads the historical medal tally of these fairs, with a total of 77-22-28.

The current confrontation, the first of its kind assigned to Spain, will put 13 men's and 12 women's medals at stake. According to the organizers, 89 nations have pre-registered.
