Cuba competed at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, United States, from 15 to 24 July 2022. The Cuban Athletics Federation had initially entered 16 athletes,[1] but ended up competing with 14 of them after the withdrawals of Yorgelis Rodríguez and Yiselena Ballar.[2]
It was the first time that Cuba closed its participation in the World Athletics Championships without winning a medal.[3][4] However, 4 Cuban athletes were among the top 8 in their respective competitions, accumulating a total of 15 points that placed Cuba in 29th place in the overall placing table.[5]
