After two days of intense sports activity and exciting matches, the teams that stood on the podium at the II Junior Pan American Games ASU2025 were finally announced.
In the men’s category, the classic “rioplatense” took place in the grand final. Argentina won the gold medal by defeating Uruguay in a very hard-fought and close game, which at the last minute decreed the “albiceleste” victory 22-17.
In the women’s branch, Brazil won the title and the gold medal after defeating the United States with a final score of 17-7. It should be noted that the South American team won its first gold medal in the official Pan American Games in this sport. Previously, it had won two bronze medals, in Toronto 2015 and Lima 2023.
In the games for the bronze medal, Canada and Chile climbed to the last step of the podiums. In the women’s category, the North Americans took the medal by defeating Argentina 22-0 in a very neat and orderly match on the part of the winners.
In the men’s category, the Chilean team climbed to the third step of the podium after a solid performance in the match against the host, Paraguay. With a very intense game, both in defense and powerful in attack, “the Rugby Red” won 36 to 12, thus securing the bronze medal.
The fleeting passage of the oval-ball sport caused a stir and admiration in all those present at the Olympic Park. Two days of intense competition crowned the best of youth Rugby in the Americas.
