Havana, Aug 12.- President Miguel Diaz-Canel highlighted on Twitter this Monday the performance of Cuban athletes at the Lima 2019 Pan American Games, especially the medal winners.
In a message, Diaz-Canel welcomed the athletes home, and considered that the 98 medals of the national delegation constitute an equal number of embraces of the Cuban Revolution.
'Welcome to the Homeland, our worthy athletes. In times of paid sports and other temptations, your clean medals are 98 embraces for the Cuban Revolution, just before Fidel Castro's birthday,' he tweeted on his account @DiazCanelB.
The Lima 2019 Pan American Games were held from July 26th through August 11th, where the quality of regional sports and the cultural richness of the host country stood out.
