At the 1996 World Championships, Annia Portuondo became the first Cuban gymnast to win a medal, earning bronze on vault. [1] Five years later at the 2001 World Championships Charles León Tamayo and Erick López would become the first male Cuban gymnasts to win a medal at the World Championships, earning bronze on vault and silver on parallel bars respectively. [2]
During the 2003 World Championships, which took place in Anaheim, California, three Cuban gymnasts defected. [3] [4] [5] As a result, Cuba opted to stop sending gymnasts to the World Championships or Olympic Games. Cuban gymnasts would later return to these large international competitions, starting with the 2015 World Championships.
