There is no other chance if the island nation tries to occupy -at least- the third position in the classification for nations, a target not easy at all bearing in mind the performance of Brazil and Colombia.

Nevertheless, and although after these lines were written the coffee growers were keeping their aspirations alive, nobody would dare to consider them to be a threat. Less soothing are the events in the "front" of Rio de Janeiro, where there will be necessary little less than a stampede in the final days.

In these compases of the epilogue for Camagüey the biggest possibilities of medals have name and surname: Yordan O'Farrill, and the Camagüeyans of the ring, which between Friday and Saturday will have to go out to fight for the qualifications in the divisions of 49, 64, 81 and over 91 kilograms.

A priori, everything indicates that the most disputed combat of the finals will be that in the minifly division will be led by the Camagüeyan Joahnys Argilagos and the Mexican Joselito Velázquez. The first one has before himself the current Pan-American champion, principal figure of the Aztec navy and its killer in the most recent edition of the World Series (WSB). But not everything is lost for him, and after seeing it in action during the tournament (especially in the difficult combat against the Venezuelan Yoel Finol) I belong to those that gives his vote. The time will say.

As with the boxing, it will be necessary to wait until the end to know, but the applicable thing for Camagüey is also valid for the whole delegation. To the margin of the dying third position in the baseball (that would demand a separate comment), the poor in outcomes of specialties that could have had better contributions they have placed the island nation in an awkward position, which beyond the medals, has to look for answers.
