Mijaín, Omara and Idalys the best athletes of 2021

Havana, December 15 (RHC)-- Mijain López, Omara Durand and Idalys Ortiz lead the best exponents of Cuban sports in the year that concludes, according to the list reported today as a result of the traditional voting organized by the Inder and the specialized press.

Mijaín, a star of Greco-Roman wrestling, headed the male competitors in individual sports and was also distinguished as the protagonist of the main event of a campaign in which he became a four-time Olympic champion.

Judoka Idalys won the highest number of votes in the segment dedicated to women's individual disciplines, as a reward for her runner-up finish in Tokyo 2020, where she achieved her fourth consecutive Olympic podium finish.

In another long-awaited election, runner Durand topped the list of athletes with disabilities, backed by three crowns at the event in the Japanese capital.

Boxing as an individual sport, the canoeing duo of Fernando Dayán Jorge and Serguey Torres as the best in non-individual events, and the most outstanding rookie for her teammate Yarisleidis Cirilo were also among the awards officialized on Wednesday.

The awards gala will take place on December 23, with a special addition dedicated to the main animators of the excellent Cuban performance in the recent I Pan American Junior Games of Cali 2021, said the general director of high performance of Inder, José Antonio Miranda.

As duly informed, the selection of the best athletes in the youth category will take place at the beginning of the year and will culminate in a ceremony coordinated with the Union of Young Communists.
