Ascent of Coto after the silver in Lima

Last weekend, the Pan American Judo Open was held in Lima, with the participation of 122 athletes, representing 15 countries.

BIG RIVER.- The Argentine team (9 men and 5 women) was in 5th place, with 1 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze medals, plus 4 fifth places, and a seventh place.

NATIONAL SELECTION. The Argentine representatives got 6 medals in Lima.

Mariano Coto, from Fuegian, was runner-up in -90 kilos, and climbed 43 steps in the world ranking: he began the contest in 179th place, and is now 136th.

In the quarterfinals he beat the Chilean Daniel Arancibia, with an ippon at one minute and 39 seconds (his rival accumulated a penalty). In the semifinal he beat the Mexican Angel García at 59” of added time (golden point), when both had two penalties (the third indicates the elimination of the judoka).

Finally, in the fight for gold, the Rio Grande native who emerged from the Municipal Judo School fell to the local Yuta Galarreta (45th in the world and top seed in the tournament, one place ahead of Coto), by an ippon at 1:35 (The runner-up had already been warned twice).

The only gold of the delegation was obtained by Tomás Morales from Córdoba, in -81 kilos (in one of the semifinals he defeated his countryman Agustín Gil). The remaining silvers went to Keisy Perafán (-48) and Agustina Lahiton (-52) from San Luis, while Brisa Gómez (-57) from Buenos Aires and Agustina De Lucía (-63) from Corrientes won two bronzes.

Next weekend the group of the Argentine Judo Confederation (CAJ) will perform at the Bogotá Open (Colombia).
