Matanzas, Cuba - Outstanding Cuban cyclist Lisandra Guerra confirmed here her attending the Pan American track cycling championship, scheduled for Santiago de Chile on Sep. 1-6.

Guerra told Prensa Latina that besides this competition, she will take part in the Cali World Cup, in November, in Colombia, as part of qualifiers for the Olympic Games of Brazil in 2016.
