Many have wondered about the most significant dates for Cuba in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, as well as the possible medalists. Here is a first approximation, based on the official calendar released by the Japanese organizers.

I have selected 17 names that I consider, based on their world and Olympic ranking or record, as the best medal options for Cuba. Of course, there may be surprises and many of these will not be on the podium, but it is a first approach.

August 2, 2021 seems to be the biggest day for our delegation in the Japanese capital. Mijaín in search of his fourth title, Leuris Pupo and Jorge Félix (sports shooting), Juan Miguel Echevarría (long jump) and our disco balls Yaimé Pérez and Denia Caballero will have action that day. It can be a memorable day.
