A message of gratitude and greeting from the Cuban delegation to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games has just been received in Athens, which has starred in a brilliant performance in this world sports event (14th place in the Olympic medal table by countries, surpassing the performance in Rio , London and Beijing, with the least numerous delegation in 61 years), aimed at Cuban compatriots who recently ascended Mount Olympus to place a plaque in honor of the Cuban National Hero José Martí, and also climbed the difficult Myticas peak, the highest altitude of Greece, a fact that they dedicated from the bottom of their hearts to the Cuban athletes who competed in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games, and which they have given so much honor to the Homeland.
The modest, patriotic and supportive gesture from the top of Mount Olympus, Greece, has been reciprocated and responded to by Cuban athletes who, with such brilliant results on an Olympic scale, have participated in the Tokyo 2020 games, for which we are deeply grateful.
Text of the message of the Cuban Sports Delegation to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, to the Cuban compatriots who recently ascended Mount Olympus and Pico Myticas, Greece, to place a plaque in honor of Martí, and in support of the Cuban delegation in Tokyo 2020:
"Recently a group of Cuban compatriots ascended to Myticas Peak, the highest point in Greece, located on Mount Olympus, where a plaque was placed in honor of the Cuban National Hero José Martí. The difficult ascent to Myticas Peak was dedicated especially to Cuban athletes who compete in the Olympic Games, Tokyo 2020. The Cuban delegation to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, which has known this fact, greets and thanks the Cuban compatriots who from Greece, the cradle of the Olympic Games of Antiquity in the year 667 BC, they have dedicated such a noble action to the athletes of the Homeland that we compete in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Thank you for your support as part of the people of Cuba, and from Olympus, to the athletes of the Homeland in the Olympic Games".
Signed: Cuban Delegation to the Olympic Games
