The 30-year-old Olympic champion arrived with the team in the city where the competition was held, but when it came to pre-competition training the next day, his teammates found that he had disappeared!
What kind of "unsolved case" is this?
The vanished athlete is Ismail Borrero, Cuba's household sports star, who won five gold medals for the Cuban delegation at the 2016 Rio Olympics and Ismail Borero won the gold medal in the 59 kg wrestling category.
In addition to his Olympic results, Ismail Borrero won the gold medal at the Wrestling World Championships twice in 2015 and 2019. He was also named Cuba's Sporting Person of the Year, and for a time the scenery was endless.
In the 2012 and 2014 Pan American Games, Ismail Borrero also won the gold medal, and at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, Ismail Borrero lost his competitiveness due to two viruses and lost in the second match.
Despite this, cuba is convinced of Ismail Borrero's prowess and hopes that he will be able to adjust better in the Paris cycle and thus try to stand on the podium of the Olympic champion for the second time.
A few days ago, athletes from the Cuban delegation arrived in Mexico for the upcoming Pan American Wrestling Championships. Before disappearing, Ismail Borero did not show any abnormality.
However, an investigation revealed that Ismail Borero had premeditated his disappearance. Because he had packed his bags before he left, his room was empty.
In an interview with the media, the Cuban Sports Institute defined Borrero's behavior as "defection", which the Cuban Sports Institute said was "a serious violation of discipline within the Cuban sports system".
Notably, Borrero is not the first Cuban athlete to abscond during a foreign tournament, and in recent years, many Of Cuban boxers, footballers, track and field athletes and baseball players have fled before continuing their careers in Europe and the United States.
As of now, there is still no further information about Boreiro, who is still missing.
