Success in the Under 13 Boys’ Team event for Brazil in the guise of Leonardo Ilzuka and Thiago Uieda but it was hard earned success; after recording a three-nil win in opposition to Peru’s Nicolas Luna and Eduardo Mendoza, in both the semi-final round and the final they were extended the full five match distance.
Venezuela’s César Castillo and Yeifer Soteldo, followed by Rogelia Castro and Jorge Buenrostro proved most worthy opponents. In the opposite half of the draw, in the latter stages, Rogelia Castro and Jorge Buenrostro had beaten Colombia’s Federico Otalvaro and Félipe Fajardo, prior to recording a semi-final success in opposition to Ecuador’s Jeremy Cedeño and Diego Piguave.

Testing times en route to gold for Brazil, for Puerto Rico’s Daymar Castro and Kristal Melendez in the Under 13 Girls’ Team competition life was less exacting.

At the quarter-final stage they beat Peru’s Mariagracia La Torre and Ana Paula Yacobi by three matches to one, before recording a three-nil win in opposition to Colombia’s Juliana Lazada and Ana Isada to reserve a place in the final. Impressive performances, it was the same in the final; a three-one margin of victory was the outcome when facing Chile’s Fernanda Araneda and Amacarena Reyes.

In the opposite half of the draw, at the quarter-final stage, Fernanda Araneda and Amacarena Reyes had accounted for Puerto Rico’s Edmarie Leon and Alanis Reyes, prior to securing their place in the final courtesy of success against Mexico’s Maria Castillo and Tamara Martin.

The team events concluded; attention now turns to the individual competitions.
