HAVANA http://www.cheap... , March 26 (Xinhua) -- Two comedy videos have recently gone viral in Cuba after U.S. President Barack Obama's visit to Havana, which has promoted Cuba-U.S. relations.
With over one million hits on YouTube, the two comedy sketches between Obama and the island's most popular character "Panfilo" have been a popular topic on the island over the past few days.
"Panfilo," a character played by 37-year-old computer scientist Luis Silva, represents an ordinary Cuban who has survived the ration card for food and fight against daily difficulties on an island which has been under a U.S. embargo since 1962.
In the first video "Panfilo" calls Obama at the White House to greet him days before he arrives in Havana. The second one shows the Cuban comedy character playing dominoes with the U.S. President and other friends.
"It was the White House's idea because they wanted Obama to participate in a popular comedy show in Cuba and we once joked about 'Panfilo' talking to the U.S. president [url=http://www.cheapnflravensjerseys.com/justin-tucker-jersey/]http://www.cheap... ," said Silva in an exclusive interview with Xinhua on Saturday.
Fifteen days before Obama's arrival in Cuba, Silva received a phone call from the U.S. embassy in Havana proposing the idea to him, he said.
After a few rounds of conversations, the White House chose the dominoes game because "it's something very Cuban," said Silva.
The White House came up with the idea of an encounter between Obama and "Panfilo" in Havana [url=http://www.cheapnflravensjerseys.com/c-j-mosley-jersey/]http://www.cheapnfl... , which took place on Monday after Obama met with Cuban entrepreneurs.
"When Obama arrived he was very eager to start recording, he greeted us and asked if we were ready. We started shooting and the scene was done in just one take. It was incredible," said Silva.
The sketch involved a game of dominoes between "Panfilo" and his friends, full of symbolism and references to the half-century thaw between Cuba and the United States.
Obama made several comments in Spanish, took off his coat to sit and played dominoes and then thanked the Cuban people for the hospitality he received during his three-day visit to Havana.
"The message we wanted to convey is that relations between the two countries would not be stuck in a deadlock again like the dominoes game. From now on there has to be friendship [url=http://www.cheapnflravensjerseys.com/]http://www.cheapnflravensjerseys.com/... , respect and dialogue between the two governments and we believe in a better future," said Silva.
The comedian said the White House, which spent time investigating popular programs on the Caribbean island, chose his character and TV show for a reason: "Panfilo" was the most popular comedy program broadcasted on the Cuban state television.
Silva, who has played the character for the past seven years [url=http://www.cheapnflravensjerseys.com/sam-koch-jersey/]http://www.cheapnflra... , said he was proud to have participated in this comedy sketch.
The Cuban television would broadcast the entire episode next Monday.
On this occasion, comedy, a universal artistic genre, served as a bridge uniting Cuba and the United States after more than 50 years of animosity.
MELBOURNE, March 8 (Xinhua) -- Tennis Australia has expressed its "surprise" to learn that 2008 Australian Open champion and five-time Grand Slam winner Maria Sharapova failed a drug test during the 2016 Australian Open.
In a statement released on Tuesday [url=http://www.cheapnflravensjerseys.com/brandon-williams-jersey/]http://www.ch... , Australia's highest tennis body acknowledged the drug test was failed at its tournament, and said Sharapova was "ready" to face any consequences of her actions.
"We are surprised by today's news that Maria Sharapova tested positive to a banned substance during the Australian Open," the statement read.
"Throughout her career Maria has always impressed with her professionalism as a leader and role-model in our sport. In her press conference Maria said she is prepared to face the consequences of what she describes as a huge mistake."
The 28-year-old revealed on Tuesday that she had indeed failed a drug test at the Open, the Russian star explained that a drug she had been prescribed for a pre-existing condition for up to a decade, Meldonium [url=http://www.cheapnflravensjerseys.com/brent-urban-jersey/]http://www.cheapnf... , was added to a banned substance list on January 1, and she had "not known".
"For 10 years this medicine was not on the banned list, and I had been legally taking it," Sharapova said.
Sportswear company Nike has already terminated its long-running sponsorship of Sharapova, and said it was "saddened and surprised" by the news.
"We have decided to suspend our relationship with Maria while the investigation continues [url=http://www.cheapnflravensjerseys.com/benjamin-watson-jersey/]http://www.che... ," Nike's statement read.
Tennis Australia also reiterated its commitment to stamping out performance enhancing drugs within its sport.
"Tennis Australia is a long-time signatory to the Tennis Anti-Doping Program (TADP) and as such supports the TADP processes and outcomes," the statement read.
The news has already caused shockwaves among the Australian tennis community, tennis commentator Renae Stubbs tweeted that she was "shocked" by the news, while current Australian men's player Matthew Ebden was skeptical of Sharapova's reasoning.
"Doesn't look that innocent for Sharapova or whoever else took it, this Meldonium stuff but who knows?" he told social media website Twitter.
Leading sports commentators have revealed Sharapova is likely to face either a one or two year ban in place of a possible four-year ban for the "mistake" [url=http://www.cheapnflravensjerseys.com/nick-boyle-jersey/]http://www.cheapnfl... , which is still under review by world doping authorities.
Sharapova will be provisionally suspended from ITF competition from March 12.
