Junior Pan American: Peru won its sixth gold medal at the close of its presentation

Gianella Lozano won against her Colombian rival, Laura Pescador, in the +68 kg category. Our representative occupied third place during the first phase, which gave her the pass to the semifinals, where she beat the Brazilian Rafaella Dos Santos. In the final, the match ended 1-1, but it favored him to have scored the first point. With this medal, there are 4 that Peru achieved in the discipline of karate. In previous days, the volleyball team had won silver, which, even before Gianella’s victory, was our last medal.
