Cubans obtain bronze in world championship of Basque Ball

Birritz, France, Oct 28 (Prensa Latina) Cubans Daniela Darriba and Yasmary Medina today obtained a bronze medal for Cuba in the Absolute World Championship of Basque Ball that is based in this French city.

The Antilleans beat the French Coyos and Dutaret, in a very close match (15-11, 10-15 and 10-8) that took place at the Cassin court.

For Darriba and Medina, this performance matches the one achieved at the 2018 Barcelona event, which is considered a good result after a complicated period due to the impact of Covid-19.

The Caribbean team surpassed the pairs of Peru and Argentina in the preliminary round, before falling in the semifinals against the Mexican favorites.

For Cuba it is the 25th medal in these events, a harvest that is divided into two gold metals, six silver and 17 bronze.
