According to Cuban journalists, Judoka Dayle Ojeda, who participated in the preparation of the events, disappeared shortly before the opening ceremony without leaving a trace. It wouldn’t be the first time in the history of the Olympic Games.

But where did Cuban judoka Dayle Ojeda go? The athlete in his thirties, double silver medalist in the Varadero Panamerican Open, is in Paris for the Olympic Games but not to participate in the events: he came to France for a few weeks to prepare for the athlete Another Cuban athlete, judoka Idalys. Ortiz. But according to the Cuban media CubaliteHis agent does not know where he has gone: Dayle Ojeda apparently disappeared a few hours before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

Will history repeat itself? Almost every time in Olympic history, a delegation returns to a country less well-equipped than when they left. In London in 2012, when they returned home, seven Cameroonian athletes went missing – after they had bagged their prizes. But some historical examples are also clear: under the Soviet yoke, 45 Hungarian athletes took refuge in Australia during the Melbourne Olympic Games. As recently as 1996, almost the entire women’s basketball team from former Zaire took advantage of the Atlanta Olympics to stay in the United States.

But it is Cuba which is certainly the Olympic champion in all categories in terms of defects: many sports competitions abroad have already been predicted for such “appearances”. “Whether it’s during baseball matches, the national sport in Cuba, soccer, volleyball or during the Olympic Games, it’s rare that Cubans come home in full…” Writes sports designer Gibert Brisbois in a blog post. Adding that the movement of the event sometimes even makes the country hesitate to send an ambassador.

In North Korea, on the other hand, according to Hoffin’s Post The government is able to be worried … by threatening athletes who are tested by exile with the transfer of their loved ones to labor camps.
