Javier Sotomayor proudly shows off the Cuban flag 跳高名将索托马约尔骄傲的展示国旗

　　Cuba's foreign minister Felipe Perez Roque has pleaded with the nation's athletes not to desert their homeland during this summer's Olympic Games.
　　Cuba fear that sports agents will tempt some of their competing stars to defect in return for lucrative contracts away from their homeland.
　　"Personal glory is fleeting," insisted Perez Roque during a ceremony to turn over the Cuban flag to the athletes.
　　"We do not ask you to be champions, we ask you to carry yourselves with honour and dignity." added Perez Roque at the event, attended by President Fidel Castro.
