The Dominican Republic’s London Olympic Games silver medalist and 2015 Toronto Pan Am Games gold medalist, Luguelín Santos, and his brother Juan Santos announced they will be continuing their training for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the Dominican Republic. They announced their breakup with their long-time trainer, José Ludwig Rubio, who had relocated from Puerto Rico to Bahrain in the Middle East where he is in charge of preparing the Bahrain team for the Olympics.
The brothers said they are returning for personal reasons. They gave credit to Rubio for all their athletics success until now. They said they will resume their training in Santo Domingo under Felix Sánchez, the Dominican Republic’s two-time Olympic gold medal winner (Athens 2004 and London 2012).
They announced their next important competitions are the Lima, Peru Pan Americans in July 2019 and the IAAF World Athletics Championships in Doha in September 2019.
