The young girl Cuban athlete Alegna Osorio Mayarí, from hammer throw, is hospitalized and fights for her life after suffering a serious accident.
“Coach Emilio González reports that Camagüey hammer player Alegna Osorio Mayarí is hospitalized for her life after suffering an accident,” journalist Félix Anazco Ramos said on his Facebook profile on Sunday.
At the moment, no more details have been given about the accident or about the athlete’s health.
The reporter added in his publication a union message of encouragement in which he highlighted the greatest achievement of Osorio’s short career: “The sports press in Camagüey sends a lot of power to the bronze medalist of the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires and his family. Let’s go champion !!! ”.
In front of his native Camaguey, Osorio was considered a “promise” in this athletic way and was even compared to his compatriot. Yipsi Moreno, multiple world champion and Olympic medalist.
Anazco Ramos himself reported in October 2018: “Alegna Osorio, the only woman from Camagüey in Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Games, won the bronze medal in the hammer throw (3 kilograms). Will it be the new Yipsi Moreno? ”.
The young man from Camagüey, then 16 years old, added 127 meters between the two best throws of the instrument.
Next year, the athlete will harvest two more bronze medals at the National Athletics Championships (67.73 meters) and the Pan American Athletics Championships in San José, Costa Rica (50.15 m).
After hearing the news, messages of support proliferated on Facebook. “The power of the champion, all your people are waiting for you again on the right path, we hope to recover very soon”, wrote one of the internet users sensitized by the short report on the social network.
