Competitors in the Athens and Sydney Olympics will be in the DR from 17-19 April for the Monte Plata 2009 International Sports Festival. Athletes are coming from Mexico, Jamaica, and possibly from Argentina's Rio Plata team. A baseball team from Cuba could also be attending, says spokesman Charlie Mariotti, as reported in Listin Diario. Sports venues built for a previous National Games will be used for the competitions. There will be competitions in baseball, soccer, cycling, basketball, boxing, and track and field. Monte Plata can be easily reached from Santo Domingo by taking the new Samana toll road.
