Gliding was a recurring word in this period and several sleeves competitive as far between as the Ambrosio Grillo Hospital and bridge of the railway line on the side of the Central Highway , gave free rein to the desires of young restless that after spending a year without being could only talk about gliders and altivarios . Among the more daring was the champion last year, Granma Alexander Chavez, who said he was motivated by the competition this year and of course came to fight for the crown . Hard task to accomplish because according to the predictions of the judge Danyer Columbié , Sandy Santiago Salazar was the great promise . And to say was keep the timeline because if this was the first place winner .     The pinero Andrius Thoureaux Torres won the silver medal and his compatriot Carlos Bermudez bronze medal .

Competition Several days were lost due to inclement weather , the total enemy sails rain prevented until Wednesday officially the start of flights ; but the desire to achieve thermal winds and climb over five hundred meters above sea level were more powerful than the clouds, flying forward dominated the pessimistic mood . Another surprise of the National League in Santiago de Cuba was the participation in competitions of a woman, Diana Holguin Araujo challenge gender roles bringing hope to the women . Strings , shears and candles will be dominated in competition again next in Guise , Granma year.
