The voice of defectors and independent journalism

Abstract

Cuba has been recognized for its achievements in international sports competitions and has been one of the most outstanding Latin American countries, with approximately 208 medals obtained in the Olympic Games (Miguel Ernesto, 2016). Nevertheless, at the same time, it has been one of the countries with the highest number of athletes who desert when being in any competition outside the island due to the political and economic limitations experienced there (El Observador, 2018).
