Interesting article - oddly translated in places, but shows just how much this tournament means.

This is the first time ever since 1959, when Cuba left without medals that a team of our country does not get to finals. It is also the worst performance in the last fifty years because the only year we missed the gold in 1967, we got the silver. It is a scandal for our national sport, an overwhelming deed, a sad event even the most skeptical or pessimistic was not able to foresee.
