Golden Claw

The Pan-American champion Victoria Alejandra Guerrero arrived wearing the national flag indicating that it was not an easy path but that the satisfaction of having the gold hanging motivates her to continue fighting with a lot of claw.

“It's a new experience that I added, I prepared a lot to get this gold, I never imagined it far away, but I was thinking about getting on the platform decisively and it worked for me,” said the world youth champion.

Aquatic power

For his part, the swimmer Manuel Díaz won a silver medal by demonstrating his power in the water.

“These are my first Pan American games and I am very happy with the result obtained because this experience was super enriching so we will come back for more, and I hope to continue representing my country on many stages,” said the Venezuelan.
