2012, according to the International Federation of
Associated Wrestling Styles, a distinction he shared
with athletes from Russia, Azerbaijan and Japan.
Mijaín garnered 20 points in the

the London Olympics and titles he won in the
international Granma-Cerro Pelado competition, the
Pan American Championship in the United States and
the Trofeo Milone, in Italy.
