Translated excerpt:
Four out of nine Cuban karate fighters decided to defect from the team that arrived in the City of Guatemala from the island to prepare for the 2022 Bolivarian Sports Competition that will begin on June 24.

Several news outlets are reporting on the defection, among them Play Off Magazine and Swing Completo.
The nine-member Cuban national karate team, along with their trainer Eliecer Lllamos, traveled from Havana to the City of Guatemala on June 8 for a training camp. The objective was to prepare for competition through June 20 and from there travel to Bogota to compete.....
