Triple jumper Leyanis Perez, pitcher Livan Moinelo, and the Cuban youth baseball 5 team will be awarded in the event to be held at Vedado hall of the Hotel Nacional de Cuba.

This is the second time Cuba has dominated the three categories; the previous one was in 1989, when high jumper Javier Sotomayor, runner Ana Fidelia Quirot, and the Cuban women’s volleyball team topped those categories.

Cuban Prince of the Heights, Sotomayor, will be among those honored this Friday, as the Cuban athlete with the most wins in the Latin American competition, after having received five awards.

The careers of two stars of Cuban and international sport: wrestler Mijain Lopez, five-time Olympic champion in Greco-Roman wrestling, and multi-medalist in para-athletics Omara Durand, will also be awarded. Both of whom triumphed in 2024.

Viewers both inside and outside of Cuba could enjoy the event on Cubavision and Cubavision Internacional television.
