[ESP/ENG] Cuba gana el torneo de Voleibol de Playa de Varadero
Lo anterior lo experimentamos mi esposo y yo en la competencia que se realizó en Varadero durante los días viernes, sábado y domingo de estos primeros días de mayo.
Es cierto que nuestro deporte no atraviesa por sus mejores momentos y es por eso que momentos como estos se viven como si fueran lo mejor del mundo.
fuenteEn la competencia participaron duplas de varios países y, además de las anfitrionas cubanas, estuvieron de Estados Unidos, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Nicaragua, entre las más importantes.
En el caso de las parejas cubanas, tenían cifradas sus mayores esperanzas en la principal pareja masculina que integran Noslen Díaz y Jorge Luis Alayo que ya están entre las mejores parejas de Voleibol de Playa del mundo.
Fue un evento intenso, en el que las parejas debieron efectuar dos partidos diarios para poder concluir el calendario competitivo.
En la medida que avanzó la competencia, las dos duplas masculinas cubanas avanzaron hasta las semifinales, mientras las dos parejas femeninas veían cómo una de ellas quedaba eliminada y la otra pasó a semifinales.
De esta manera, Cuba logró ubicar a tres de las cuatro parejas en la discusión por las medallas: dos en el masculino y una en el femenino.
En una de las semifinales masculinas, Cuba enfrentó a sus dos parejas y en el femenino Cuba se enfrentó a la pareja de Estados Unidos. De esta fase salieron victoriosas las parejas de Estados Unidos en el femenino y la principal dupla cubana del masculino.
Ayer pudimos ver cómo dos parejas cubanas alcanzaban medallas de bronce y ubicaban al país con el número mayor de medallas, a pesar de no tener título porque, en el femenino, ese honor le correspondió a Estados Unidos. Pero, faltaba el plato fuerte en el masculino, donde se enfrentaban Cuba y Nicaragua.
Esta batalla era importante, porque si Cuba ganaba, alcanzaba el título en el sector masculino y, sumando los dos metales de bronce, le daba el primer lugar por países.
Cuando comenzó el juego, se demostró que los cubanos venían a ganar la medalla y demostrar que eran los mejores jugadores de la competencia.
Punto tras punto ganaron el primero de los dos sets por 21 tantos a 10.
En el segundo set, los nicaragüenses iniciaron más fuertes y ganaron por dos tantos de ventaja, pero, pronto, las aguas tomaron su nivel y los de casa ganaron por 21 puntos a 11.
De esa manera, los cubanos ganaron el apartado masculino y, con una medalla de oro y dos de bronce, lograron ganar la competencia por países.

You can be far away, but the country where we were born runs through our blood and any triumph makes us happy and kills a little the nostalgia of being far away from our own.
My husband and I experienced this during the competition held in Varadero on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the first days of May.
It is true that our sport is not going through its best moments and that is why moments like these are lived as if they were the best in the world.
fuenteCouples from several countries participated in the competition and, in addition to the Cuban hosts, there were teams from the United States, Puerto Rico, Jamaica and Nicaragua, among the most important ones.
In the case of the Cuban couples, their greatest hopes were pinned on the main male couple made up of Noslen Diaz and Jorge Luis Alayo, who are already among the best beach volleyball couples in the world.
It was an intense event, in which the couples had to play two matches a day in order to complete the competitive schedule.
As the competition progressed, the two Cuban men's pairs advanced to the semifinals, while the two women's pairs saw how one of them was eliminated and the other advanced to the semifinals.
In this way, Cuba managed to place three of the four pairs in the discussion for the medals: two in the men's and one in the women's category.
In one of the men's semifinals, Cuba faced its two pairs and in the women's Cuba faced the U.S. pair. From this phase, the U.S. pair in the women's and the main Cuban duo in the men's were victorious.
Yesterday we were able to see how two Cuban couples won bronze medals and placed the country with the highest number of medals, despite not having a title because, in the women's category, that honor went to the United States. However, the main event was still to come in the men's event, where Cuba and Nicaragua faced each other.
This battle was important, because if Cuba won, it would win the men's title and, adding the two bronze medals, would give it the first place by countries.
When the game started, it was shown that the Cubans were coming to win the medal and prove that they were the best players in the competition.
Point after point they won the first of the two sets by 21 points to 10.
In the second set, the Nicaraguans started stronger and won by two points, but, soon, the waters took their level and the home team won by 21 points to 11.
Thus, the Cubans won the men's section and, with a gold medal and two bronze medals, managed to win the competition by countries.

Ya era hora que Noslen y Alayo se coronaran en Varadero. Era muy difícil que tuvieran un mal resultado está vez, teniendo en cuenta la poca dificultad del torneo y el nivel que está pareja ha alcanzado.
