Three members of the Cuban rowing team in Chile for the 2023 Pan American Games did not show up for their flight back to communist Cuba on Wednesday and have defected. The athletes join other members of the Cuban delegation who defected last week, bringing the total number of defections in Chile to 11. Like the ones before them, the three Cuban rowers have chosen freedom over communist tyranny and slavery to the Castro dictatorship.

Three Cuban rowers remain in Chile after the Pan American Games
Three athletes from the Cuban rowing team who participated in the Pan American Games in Chile did not show up on Wednesday to return to the island.

The Cuban delegation for that sport had 20 athletes who competed in the city of San Pedro de la Paz, in the Chilean province of Concepción, but only 17 showed up to return to the island, as reported by Radio Cooperativa.
