Havana, Jun 12th. - Cuba will be represented by four swimmers at the Pan American Games Junior of Asunción 2025, which will take place from 9 to 23 August.
The women Andrea Becali and Laurent Estrada, classified by brands A, and Vladimir Hernández, with level B registration among the men, was joined by the librist Yadiel Estrada, who will attend for the resource of universality and will compete in 50 and 100 meters.
Mirtha Diaz, head of coaches for the national team, told JIT of the 16-year-old's benefit by the 16-year-old by the way set by Panam Aquatic for low-represented National Olympic Committees.
She added that the capital Andrea, who prepares in the international centre of Australia, will swim in 50, 100, 200 and 400 free, and 100 back.
The Villaclareña Estrada will do so in 100 and 200 backs, 50 and 100 free, and 200 individual combined, and the Hernandez habanero in 400, 800 and 1500 free.
They're swimming well, all quiet, because with this weather the water is never cold, but pretty good. We trained from Monday to Saturday and covered the gym sessions at the Pan American Stadium, where we have the right implements for the job, she said.
Diaz expects the best of the four, although he recognizes that the appointment of the Paraguayan capital must be of high quality, much more if athletes from the United States and Canada attend, which he does not know.
Anyway, even these nations are absent, the event must bring together the best figures of Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, in short, the level will prevail, but I hope that Laurent, Andrea and Vladimir will be able to enter the end, and many more, that they will conquer some podium, he said.
