Havana, Aug 11.- The athletes who trained under very difficult conditions and placed Cuba in 14th place in the medal ranking, had an outstanding performance, the President of the Republic of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-CanelBermúdez, wrote on Twitter today, referring to to the delegation that participated in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
The president described the arrival of the Cuban delegation from Tokyo as very emotional, and assured that they have made history.
Welcome to the Homeland, emphasized the Head of State in his account of that social network.
“The arrival of the Cuban delegation of # Tokyo2020 was very emotional. The athletes who trained in very difficult conditions and placed #Cuba in 14th place on the medal ranking, had an outstanding performance. They have made history. Welcome to the Homeland,” Díaz-Canel tweeted.
The Cubadebate digital media reports that in welcoming the delegation of Cuban athletes, Díaz-Canel pointed out that each title was a demonstration of courage, bravery, commitment and dignity.
Many do not understand why you, in addition to your relatives and coaches, dedicate the victory to the Revolution or to Fidel, and it is because they do not understand our values and what you are made of, the president reaffirmed.
In Tokyo, Cuba achieved a better performance than in the last three Olympics in Rio 2016, London 2012 and Beijing 2008, with seven gold, three silver and five bronze medals. (Cadenagramonte)
