Several sports centers for high performance athletes, to train promising young sportspeople, will be opened on Thursday and Friday in Guatemala, with attendance of two former Cuban track stars.
Runners Ana Fidelia Quirot and Alberto Juantorena, who is the current vice president of the sports authority in Cuba and president of the Cuban Track and Field Federation, will participate in the opening ceremonies, invited by the local authorities.
Of those centers, one will open on Thursday in this capital, and others in the city of Quetzaltenango, almost 9,842 feet over the sea level, and in Mazatenango, in the Guatemalan Pacific coastal area.
The mentioned centers, together with those in eastern Zacapa and Izabal, in the Caribbean, are part of the Si Deportes (Sports, Yes) project, which is supported by Cuban trainers and specialists in different disciplines.
The program, conceived to train sportspeople in short and long terms, has already registered 498 students in its five centers.
