Leonel is pictured above during the 400m (left hand photo), 110m Hurdles,
1500m and Pole Vault disciplines of the Decathlon at the 2008 Olympic Games
in Beijing. Suárez produced a terrific performance overall with no less than
five new PBs in his points total of 8527. That was a new Cuban record for
the event and saw the 20 year old youngster claim the bronze medal,
just 24 points back on the silver medallist Andrei Krauchanka.
