Biography

Cascaret, who was born in Guantánamo, won gold medals for Cuba at the 2003 Pan American Games as a member of their coxless four and quadruple sculls teams.[1] At the 2004 Summer Olympics he competed in the singles sculls and made the B final, finishing 12th overall.[2] He won gold again at the 2007 Pan American Games, in the quadruple sculls, the same event that he represented Cuba in at both 2007 World Rowing Championships and the 2008 Summer Olympics.[3]
