SANTO DOMINGO<\/strong>.\u2013 Dominican kitesurfer Deury Corniel<\/strong> will make his debut this Saturday, August 1st, at the XXV Central American and Caribbean Games Santo Domingo 2026<\/strong>, where he will seek to hold the national flag high in one of the most important competitions of his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At 26 years old, Corniel arrives at the regional event as one of the leading exponents of freestyle kitesurfing internationally, backed by a career full of successes that includes world titles, international podiums, and constant evolution within this discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Originally from Cabarete, considered one of the best destinations in the world for kitesurfing, Deury turned his passion for the sport into a high-performance career from a very young age. Inspired by his brother, he began sailing as a child and, with dedication and discipline, reached the elite of the international circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among his main achievements are the gold medal at the Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Games<\/strong>, the title of youth kitesurfing world champion<\/strong>, and two consecutive world runner-up titles. In 2019, he came very close to winning the absolute world championship, with the title being decided in the final competition of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, Corniel is part of the international Red Bull<\/strong> athlete team, a recognition that distinguishes high-performance athletes with global potential and has strengthened his presence in the main competitions of the international circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Competing at home represents a special moment for the Dominican athlete, who will have the opportunity to compete for a medal in front of their home crowd and continue to drive the growth of kitesurfing in the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to his sports career, Deury has contributed to promoting Cabarete internationally as a benchmark destination for this sport. His participation in the film “Cabarete”<\/strong>, inspired by the culture and lifestyle surrounding kitesurfing on the country’s north coast, has served to project the nation’s tourism and sports potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deury Corniel’s competitions can be followed live through RTVD (Channel 4)<\/strong>, the official broadcast channel of the Santo Domingo 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games, where the athlete will seek to add a new page of success for Dominican sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SANTO DOMINGO.\u2013 Dominican kitesurfer Deury Corniel will make his debut this Saturday, August 1st, at the XXV Central American and Caribbean Games Santo Domingo\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":519165,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_dum_aida_pretitle":"","_dum_aida_subtitle":"","_dum_aida_city":"","_dum_aida_author":"","_dum_aida_caption":"","_dum_aida_captionauthor":"","_dum_aida_quote":"","_dum_aida_breakdowntitle":"","_dum_aida_breakdowntext":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[43601,41693,40231,40853],"class_list":["post-519164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-breakingnews","tag-central-american-games","tag-dominican-republic","tag-thetruthnewspaper"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/phj1q1-2b3C","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/IMG-20260801-WA0059.jpg","dum_api":{"author_name":"Redacci\u00f3n De \u00daltimo Minuto","author_image":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cropped-logo-de-ultimo-minuto-96x96.png","categories_name":["Sports"],"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/cdn.deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/IMG-20260801-WA0059.jpg"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=519164"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519164\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/519165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=519164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=519164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=519164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
