“Thanks to everyone who was with me at this Pan American. We had incredible keys, with competitors who had rankings, such as the USA, Canada, Brazil and Mexico, but even so we fought for our country, we won but we also lost the most important ones”, detailed the athlete on his social networks.
After participating in the contest held in Santo Domingo, Salvador expressed his regret for not wearing a medal for Peru; however, he stressed that at all times he gave his maximum effort and that, above all, he has gained a lot of experience.
