Yarima Garcia
Happy birthday to Cuba’s sprint standout Yarima Garcia — a national record holder before her birthday. Yarima owns the Cuban indoor 200m record, made the final at the World U20 Championships over 200m, and in 2023 stacked continental gold on continental gold: Central American AND Pan American champion with Cuba’s 4×100 relay. That’s the full sprint résumé — individual record, world-final speed, and championship relay metal — from an athlete just entering her strongest years.
Cuba’s sprint tradition is one of the sport’s proudest, and Yarima is writing her own chapter of it at pace.
¡Felicidades, Yarima! Que sigan cayendo los récords. ¡Pa’lante, Cuba! 🎂🎁🎉🫶🫶🇨🇺
