Cuban athlete Mijain Lopez to attend Fitur-Madrid in January

Madrid, Dec 16 (Prensa Latina) Cuban athlete Mijain Lopez, five-time Olympic champion in Greco-Roman wrestling and world sports legend, will be one of the attractions at the International Tourism Fair, FITUR, in January.

Cuban Tourism Counselor for Spain and Portugal, Niurka Perez Denis, announced this remark to Prensa Latina and added that another international sports icon, Cuban multi-champion and world high jump record holder, Javier Sotomayor, will also be participating.

“It will be an honor to have Mijain and Sotomayor at our stand, along with Isaac Delgado and his orchestra, who will contribute to the interest for Cuba at the most important Ibero-American tourism fair,” Perez Denis commented.

Lopez achieved a brilliant culmination to his career in Paris in 2024, where he was chosen, among an exclusive group of athletes, responsible for the symbolic extinguishing of the flame at the closing ceremony.

“They will be ambassadors of our culture, sports, and of course, representatives of different Cuban regions in the effort to provide updated information on the product portfolio for the 2025-2026 winter and summer seasons,” the Tourism counselor told Prensa Latina.

The fair will be opened on January 21 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony by Cuban Tourism Minister Juan Carlos Garcia Granda, flanked by Mijain and Sotomayor.
