The fifth day of the Junior Asunción 2025 Pan American Games returned good feelings in Colombian sport. Not only for the harvest of gold medals, a silver and a bronze, but for the jump in the general medal that leaves the country in third place, surpassing Chile and reaffirming its regional power status.
In the aquatic complex pool, Tiffany Murillo showed that patience and tactics also gain races. In the 1500 female free meters, he maintained a sustained pace that allowed him to always stay in podium zone. In the auction, he strongly defended the second place in front of the Brazilian Mariana de Oliveira, crossing the goal in 16: 48.89. The gold medal was also for the Brazilian Leticia Fassina (16: 30.86), in a demanding test from beginning to end.
From the center of Squash, the pair of Juan Irisarri and Juan José Torres showed authority to impose Argentina in the final of male doubles. With a precise and synchronized game, Colombians did not give space to the rival reaction and sealed a new gold for the country, confirming that the Squash is still a fertile terrain for tricolor joys.
In Velódromo, Colombia made it clear that track cycling is one of its strongest stamps. Stefany Cuadrado flew over the oval and kept the gold in the female speed, while Marianis Salazar added the silver in a 100% Colombian final. In addition, Square's victory gives a direct quota to the Pan American Games of Lima 2027, adding to the classifications achieved yesterday by Luciana Osorio and Nicolás Olivera.
