Cuban Osleni Guerrero reached his highest ever position in the badminton world ranking when appearing 43rd of that list, according to the latest update of the International Federation of the discipline.

Guerrero, with 29 030 points, remains as leader in the Americas, followed by American Howard Shu, who is ranked 57th, with 25 991 units.

Guatemalan Kevin Cordon ( 64th) appears third among the most prominent of the American continent with a score of 24 257.
