Havana, Feb 20 - The Cuban modern pentathlon team is fulfilling an exhaustive training plan in the Mexican training base of Pachuca, to get in shape for their participation in the first stage of the World Cup.
Â
Cuban pentathlon commissioner Doris Mallorquin said the members of the Cuban team are better prepared, compared to the same period of 2013, especially with a better preparation in the shooting event.
In the context of their training plan in Pachuca, a place more than 2,400 meters over sea level, the Cuban team competed in the national championship with a relevent performance by Lester del Rosario, the winner of a bronze medal among 34 participants.
Other Cuban participants were Yaniel Velázquez, silver medallist in the Central American and Caribbean Games in Cartagena de Indias in 2006, José Figueroa, silver medal in the 2013 Champions Cup, y Leydi Laura Moya, gold in the 1st Youth Olympic Games.
Moya had a problem with her horse, when it refused to jump the fifth hurdle in the competition, and this stopped her from winning a medal.
This young Cuban female athlete has an excellent shooting and racing performance combination, and constitutes the Cuban fundamental support for a medal in the Central American Games from November 14 to 28 in Veracruz.
