Olé olé olé olé, cueto, cueto.

Question

OK, so I enjoy watching tennis, and there is an Argentinian player named Del Potro (an excellent player who is also supposedly a really nice guy) and whenever the crowd wants to cheer him on they chant, Olé, olé, olé, olé, cueto, cueto. (or at least that is what it sounds like).

What exactly are they saying?

Answer 1

OK, so it took 2 hours but I finally found out the answer.

The chant is actually Olé olé olé ole, Delpo Delpo!

Delpo is his shortened last name.

It is a takeoff the the original chant, which was Olé olé olé olé, Cueto Cueto. Cueto is the last name of a soccer player.

Now it makes perfect sense!

Answer 2

“Olé, Olé” is a universal cheer in the Spanish speaking world. “Cueto” is a hill of sorts. They may be saying “cohete”, which means “rocket.” Maybe an Argentinian will answer .

Answer 3

I think Daniela is on the right track. I know some Cuban baseball pitchers who throw “cohetes”.
