Hosts Cuba and rivals the Dominica Republic (DR) walked away with nine gold medals between them at the just-concluded 59th annual Senior Caribbean Table Tennis Championships.
In what can be considered an upset, the gold medal in the women’s singles category was won by Cuban Lisi Castillo over former Caribbean women’s singles champion Eva Birto of the Dominica Republic while Idalys Lovet of Cuba copped the bronze medal.
In what was a wide open field given the injury to Andy Pereira the top men’s seed of Cuba, Samuel Galvez of the Dominica Republic won the much sought after gold medal in the men’s category while Jorge Campos and Damian Juan Rondon both of Cuba place second and third respectively.
