I met them that cold morning at the “Jose Martí” International Airport in Havana, Cuba, they were already traveling to Chile. I confess that this slender girl, always with a smile, caught my attention.
He protected her, it was very cold and the flight that would take them to Chile was somewhat delayed. Seeing him imposing but at the same time with that protective shell shocked me.
Then at the headquarters they both helped each other, encouraged their colleagues from the stands, and offered help to their blind colleagues.
The duo of Yordanis and Sheyla is a team that leads, offers, accompanies, as she has done since she had to take full charge not only as the wife, but also as the mother, when her mother-in-law ceased to exist, at least in the world of the living, and became the champion’s advisor.
Both have traveled together, and together they also overcome distances, because for love, there is no life other than that of one, that’s how special these guys are who stole the breath of the Brazilians, ready to take all the gold medals of the competition.
Both, more than a union, face life with an optimism that scares away fear, it is strength to walk as they promised towards happiness.
