 The Cuban Olympic Delegation at this sister country, like the rest of its members that ready at other venues for this Summer meeting, is aware of your latest reflections that confirm your zealous attention to the Cuban sports movement.

 We inform you that just few days short of the 29th Olympic Games opening, we are healthily proud of your attention both in mind and hearth, to our readiness to meet the challenge of a good performance, inspired by your example, and sure that you will be by our side at each and every event.

 Amid fast accommodation to the local time, your messages have multiplied the feelings of unity, commitment and patriotism distinctive of this athletic mission, heir of a heritage of struggle that generate so many signs of love and respect at the now host People's Republic of China.

 It is an honor for us to confirm that we are willing to return with the shield, and if necessary on it, faithful to the people that fathers us and aware of the joy we owe to you, to Raul, to each and every country fellowmen and brothers Antonio, Fernando, Gerardo, Ramon and Rene, whom though unfairly withheld in imperial prisons, we know they will follow our respective performance, especially the baseball team that now has a new incentive to win the heroic performance of the junior baseball team and the World Championship in Edmonton.

 We will compete with the same unyielding spirit of the Mambi Army in 68 and 95, a combat tradition the Ejercito Rebelde (Rebel/Guerrilla Army) honored in the struggle for freedom the victorious Revolutionary Armed Forces keep and will keep.

 With such an inspiration and example we will compete and win the gold medals that our people and you expect.

 Commander; count on our dignity, endless devotion and certainty of victory. Thanks for your example.

 The Cuban Delegation.
