}} Yoandri (or ''Yoandris'') Betanzos Francis (born February 15, 1982 in Santiago de Cuba) is a Cuban athlete competing in the triple jump. ==Early life and career== They say, he was almost born on the track: His mother, Cuban sprinter Amarailis Francis, suffered from a heavy abdominal pain during her daily practice, and was immediately transferred to a hospital in her hometown Santiago de Cuba. A couple of hours later, she gave birth to her son.〔 〕 Later, he moved to Ciego de Ávila, the hometown of his father, Cuban boxer Álvaro Betanzos, and started his sports career following in his father's footsteps as a boxer. After about a year, he changed to athletics, firstly competing as a high jumper. In 1993, he became Cuban national champion in his age group setting a new record of 1.86 m, beating the old mark set by Javier Sotomayor.〔 As he was not tall enough, his coaches proposed to change to triple jump.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yoandri Betanzos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
