HAVANA, Cuba, Apr 7 (acn) Aware they will face a high quality tournament, Cuban freestyle wrestlers aspire to have a good performance at the World Cup, based in Los Angeles, USA, on April 11 and 12.
Cuba shares group A of the competition with the planetary ruler Russia, Mongolia and the hosts; while Poole B includes Turkey, Azerbaijan, Belarus and Iran, the latter is the current champion of the event.
It will be a very important contest because four years ago we did not participate, we are in a tough group but we have trained well to face these top quality rivals, Livan Lopez, London 2012 Olympic bronze medalist in 74 kg, told ACN.
Lopez, who also has under his belt one silver and two bronze medals in universal events, will be one of the pillars of the Cuban squad.
His tough opponents must be the American Jordan Burroughs, London 2012 Olympic champion and twice planetary monarch; in addition to Russian Denis Tsargush, world silver medalist.
Another wrestler who will go to Los Angeles, Yowlys Bonne, said that for him competing in a new division, 57 kilos, will be a challenge , but he thinks that everything will go well because he is in perfect condition, both physically and psychologically.
Cuba will be represented at the World Cup by eight wrestlers, with a team led by Reineris Salas (86), twice runner-up in world tournaments.
The roster is completed by Javier Cortina (97), Maikel Perez (61), Andy Moreno (70), Franklyn Marén (65) and Eduardo Mesa (125).
