CAMAGÜEY.- Lightning sight to follow the silent commands of the trainer while the opponent tried to grab me up, lightning movements in every gesture of the National Anthem or after the victory; the gibberish of partners which overtake the sounds and get to every wrestler like a slap of happiness…So it lived the fight between the athletes with auditory disabilities.

Like the Greco-Roman fight, Santiago de Cuba’s delegation controlled the medal scoreboard in free style for members of the Deaf Association of Cuba in the National Championship of Wrestling. They were unreachable with four titles and now 48 points. After them were the locals, who added up 37, and Las Tunas, with 32, was placed in the third position.

The local Yuset Montejo repeated his feat of the classic event with crown in the 97 Kg and his teammates Ariel Basulto (67Kg) y Dayán Cator (130 kg) also kept their respective silver and bronze metals.

According to Antonio Pereira, technical chief of the championship, auditory disabilities of the gladiators is the only thing that differentiates them from the conventional call, because “they do not lack quality, technique, sacrifice or love to sport ".
