Archer Adrian Puentes opened with a personal record Cuba’s participation in the 31st Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Puentes accumulated 655 points in the 70 meter double round and occupied position 37th among the 64 markesmen that competed in a Sambadrome that changed music for targets and volleys, ACN reported on August 5.
He improved his personal record by three points and we were asking 650 from him, said Eduardo Marrero, his trainer.
The following presentation of the Cuban marksman, who was a Pan-American champion nine years ago in Rio, will take place on Tuesday as the opponent of Mexican Ernesto Boardman, now occupying position 28th with 662 points.
The most outstanding news of the day was the performance of South Korean Woojin Kim, with 700 points, turned into a world record and a record for these Games, a sign of the justified reputation of favorite for the gold medal accompanying him.
