Cuban-American Stars of the 2012 Olympic Games

Among the many stars at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, Cuban-American athletes have certainly made their mark. Swimmer Ryan Lochte won the first gold medal for the U.S. at the Games and has been called "the best swimmer in the world." Amy Rodriguez is an integral member of the U.S. Women's Soccer team. Gymnast Danell Leyva, triathlete Manuel Huerta and rower Robin Prendes left Cuba at a young age and have become sports sensations in the U.S. Congratulations to these talented athletes and best of luck as they go for the gold!
