Idalys Ortiz Bocourt; Ippon to the impudence
Reviewed the press releases my eyes got surprised. The Cuban News Agency, published in the sports section referred to the scandal that wanted to involve the Olympic and the Cuban world champion Idalys Ortiz Bocourt for the alleged sale of her gold medal achieved in London 2012.
Like me, the queen of Candelaria, showed indignation and pride to this manipulation, and in her first statement explained: "This medal for me and my people has an invaluable value and never be able to put a price on something that has a special meaning in my life".
Blunt to those trying to boycott from outside the nobility, integrity and sporting principles of the wide smile girl with flag color braids. That brunette from Artemisa, which commands respect in the world tatami wearing her yudoguis and willing to climb the podium.
Ippon to impudence, wazzari cheaters, yuko to Internet merchants, who swarm digital media and outrageous press releases, put into question the quality and prestige of our athletes.
EBAY, an auction site was the impostor. Lacked credibility and firmness as published. Overran immorality against the greatness of our sport, against the immensity of a champion like Idalys.
They messed authorship, wanted discrediting ownership, tried spotting what shines. Fast, as the ability of our queen, they dismantled the show of that site and ended the lie.
It could not be otherwise. Neither Idalys or any Cuban athlete sell medals for all the money in the world. Poor but worthy, would say a colleague to share this news with me. No comment!
