Cuban Triathletes to Compete This Saturday in Mexico and Guatemala

Cuban triathletes Alejandro Rodríguez, in Mexico, and Marco Fernández and Isabel Rodríguez, in Guatemala, will compete this Saturday as part of their preparation for the Central American and Caribbean Games Santo Domingo 2026.

Rodríguez, who benefits from a scholarship granted by World Triathlon, will take part in the Ixtapa 2026 Americas Cup, according to Alejandro Puerto, president of the Cuban federation for this sport, speaking with JIT’s Tony Díaz.

Meanwhile, Isabel and Marco will compete in the 2026 World Triathlon V Regional Development Cup, held in Bahía Amatique, Guatemala, where they are completing a training camp ahead of the regional games in the Dominican capital.

In both competitions, they will compete in the sprint format, which consists of “750 meters of swimming, 20 kilometers of cycling, and five kilometers of running.”

Given that these are the same distances scheduled for the event at the Santo Domingo 2026 Games, the competitions will allow their coaches to assess how the preparation of the representatives from the Greater Antilles is progressing.
