Homeland in the athlete´s heart/La patria en el corazón del atleta

Abstract

The homeland is in the heart of the athlete when he defends the sovereignty of a country in the field of competition. One is patriotic when one gives one's best to achieve victory, even knowing that the training characteristics of the opponent are superior. You have to feel like the brunettes of the Caribbean, like Mikhail Lopez and like our Cuban fighters to know what it is to enjoy a medal, while wearing our national flag. That feeling has nothing to do with mercantilism or breaking records with the sole ambition of supremacy or accumulating more wealth.
