Cuba denies her entry so she is headed back to Beijing... Did Cuba really?  I was kinda wondering if they'd let her back in. Actually, I was wondering if they would let her leave (go back to China)! I could be wrong, but I didn't think defectors could come and go and Cuba. I wonder what they would do to some ordinary guy, not an athlete. Would they let them come back to visit a sick relative and then return to the US, Italy, etc? |

Can you fly nonstop from Beijing to Havana?  Do Chinese tourists frequent Cuba for vacation? |

Italy takes out Russia without Aguero in the opening game. 3-1 win for Italy

Apparently now Cuba gives the green light for Aguero to travel there, but if I understand the italian sites correctly, this's come too late |

Italy beat Russia in 4. I guess I am a little shocked, without Aguero.
