The Guantanamo rower Angel Fournier advanced to the final at the World Rowing Championships, upon finishing third in one of the two semifinals in the single modality, based in the city of Aiguebelette, France.

Reaching the Guantanamo remote community of Mandinga involves climbing more than 18 miles from the municipality of Baracoa, by a narrow paved road hindering transit.

One hundred students with different physical or intellectual disabilities in Guantanamo turn their homes in schools, thanks to the more than 30 itinerant teachers available in the eastern territory, said Roberto Soler Fernandez provincial methodologist of special education.

The team of Guantanamo, the only undefeated in the newly started 55th National Baseball Series, is one of the main attractions of the fans, after wiping out the host team of Holguin.

On Tuesday, the Guantanamo Indians defeated Holguin, 2-1 in a game in which pitcher Ernesto Hernandez was way to complete an unusual event in national championships.
