In a statement released by the digital media outlet Jit, the group highlighted the achievement of 19 titles, 13 silver medals, and 15 bronze, a tally that placed them in seventh place among countries.

However, the true significance of this achievement, they affirmed, was the opportunity to evaluate new reserves and secure 17 spots for the 2027 Lima Pan American Games.

The Cubans noted that nine sports contributed medals, with athletics at the head, a sport they dominated with eight gold medals, three silver, and two bronze, followed by wrestling (3-5-2), canoeing (3-3-3), and other disciplines such as diving, judo, weightlifting, rowing, taekwondo, archery, and volleyball.

Performance of Yisnoly Lopez, the island’s top medalist with three gold medals and a bronze, along with wrestler Yaynelis Sanz, who retained her Cali-Valle 2021 title were also very significant.
