It pressed strong the disk in their right hand. Their entrenadora Hilda Elisa Fields had given him the last advice: “you throw with everything, like leave, but the medal of gold has to be yours”. Yaimé Pérez entered to the cage, it reviewed the movements and it loosed the piece of metal of a kilogram. A palabrota of trust put it to fly, to fly and volar…hasta the 66,58 meters. I pray and Pan-American record!, he/she announced the local amplification.
The golden history of this test passed the inexplicable corner. Yaimé and their partner Denia Gentleman was the candidates at the one-two for its results in the winter season, but the Brazilian Andressa Oliveira it was crossed in the road and with 65,98 in its second intent took them out of that privilege until the sixth beat, when The Russian”, like they know Yaimé, it put order to the logic and it contributed the first crown of the Cuban athletics in these Games of Lima 2019.
Happy, sure, confident and convinced that it would fulfill their family, their entrenadora and their people of Santiago from Cuba, Yaimé Pérez made remind to many the long discóbolas trail that from Carmen Rosemary (1971) until Denia Gentleman (2015) they have compiled eleven scepters in this test; but it also demonstrated that it is already clever to assault the big competitions, something that had been made avoids up to August 6.
“He/she was making some things not well technically and after the third launching my entrenadora corrected me. We knew that the Brazilian could be a rival of consideration because we have seen it in the League of Diamonds, but never like to commit our gold”, the best athlete in Cuba revealed in the 2018 who she didn’t have words to explain that you/he/she could pass her partner Denia, fourth with 60,46, from behind of another Brazilian Fernanda Borges (62,23).
“It is one of the happiest days in my life. It has been a year of a lot of delivery and sacrifice. Here it didn’t influence neither the air neither the cold, I won to pure heart. Alone I hit upon in hugging to my entrenadora when I saw the tirazo because he/she knew that it was superior to the 66 meters. I didn’t think of the record, alone he/she wanted to win”, it recognized smiling the owner of the best world mark in the season with 69,39 the past July 16.
Excited and from some tiers that seemed small to contain the pressure and the history that it represented to be there, Hilda Elisa Fields, alone he/she hit upon to reveal: “She knew that it could achieve it. When I called it I told him: relax and he/she enjoys the competition. Today I felt so or happier than when I finished with silver in 1987 and 1991 in these Pan-American Games. The record was important, but the decisive thing was to grab the gold.”
Beyond that happened, Yaimé walked its flag for the stadium and it fell in love, once and for all and for all to who we wanted to see it, finally, to be crowned in a great one fair, after being always among the medallistas. With their happiness it also arrived the pain of another big one, Denia, to who he dropped the night above with a pressure of which didn’t find the route to leave, no matter how much he/she attempted it.
Who live this gold in the cold late-night in the stadium of the National Sport Villa (VIDENA) we will never forget the impulse scream and happiness of passed Yaimé 8 in the night. To choir, from the tiers, their partners and good part of the Cuban delegation, he/she screamed similar with her. Yes, coño!, one of our big champions, guest for this party said for Panam Sports. Minutes later it rewarded her with sack and tie and in their kiss the kiss of Homeland was picked up.
