Cuban Judokas among the Best in World Ranking
Monday, June 29, 2009

Havana.- Cuban judokas are among the best in the latest ranking of that sport, which included six local fighters.

One of the Cuban judokas included in the world ranking is Idalis Ortiz (+78 kg), who ranks third in her division with 420 points, thanks to the title she won at the Pan-American Championship in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Oscar Braison (+100 kg) also ranks third in his division with 300 points.

The other Cuban judokas in the world ranking are Oreidis Despaigne, who ranks sixth in the 100-kg division, Yordanis Arencibia, eighth in the 66-kg category, Kaliema Antomachín, ninth in the 78-kg division, and Yasmani Piker, tenth in the 60-kg category.

The Cuban judokas have only competed in three tournaments in Europe and the continental championship in Argentina.

The ranking is valid to qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games in London, even when granting direct places to the first 22 male and 14 female judokas.
