Holy Spirit.- Yani Suárez’s ability to excel knows no limits. We knew a few things about her and her professional duties. For example, her passion for boxing had already been a topic discussed in these pages.
On that occasion he told us how he became a referee and in a good way! However, despite the extensive dialogue on the occasion, he hid a “secret” from us, which fortunately “declassified” for Workers in one of the few spaces that leaves the Playa Girón Tournament,
“I have been practicing judo almost all my life. It was my first “love,” he says, surprising us very close to a hotel in this city, where the judges who act in the fight stay.
“I am also a referee of that martial art, but look, I achieved it first in boxing. I clarify that I have been a judo coach for a long time in a sports area in the city of Cienfuegos.”
He also recognizes the black belt and Second Dan as we board the bus, which takes us to the Yayabo Room, the difficulty and differences between the refereeing of both sports.
“The preparation of the judo referee is different from that of boxing. They are disciplines with a lot of action, but with different techniques, dynamics and decision angles. I recognize that it is more difficult for me to dispense justice in judo even though I master it,” he says, smiling.
“They are equal in something fundamental, we have to do our work with seriousness and responsibility. That’s where the most important note comes from,” he points out.
Yani apologizes after reaching our destination. With a quick step she joins her colleagues and she is serious, responsible and willing to face the challenge of the occasion. Deliver justice on and to the side of the ring.
Me? Of course, happy to be an “complicit” in a “secret” that is no longer so secret. Maybe she forgot that she told a journalist.
