4th GOLD MEDAL FOR CUBA
On a day like this 100 years ago Ñico Rojas was born. Rojas became a prominent Cuban composer and guitarist, considered one of the founders of a style of Cuban song called filin. Today in Cuba his music and legacy are being celebrated.
38-year-old Cuban Mijaín López, known as the 'Gigante de Herredura' (giant of Herredura, his home town in Pinar del Rio), not only won a gold medal for Cuba but also made history this Monday by becoming the only wrestler to win four Olympic titles, after defeating the Georgian Lakobi Kajaia 5-0 in the final of 130 kg mens wrestling.
THIRD GOLD MEDAL FOR CUBA: Cubans Serguey Torres and Fernando Dayán Jorge, achieved a gold medal in the 1,000m 2-seater canoe at #tokyo2021 #Olympics.
Felicidades #Cuba! The Cuban team at the #tokyo2020 #Olympics have now shot up to number 19 in the medals table, with 8 medals in total - only 2nd to Brazil amongst Latin American and Caribbean countries!
Carlos Acosta fans!
