The Argentine women’s handball team poses with the bronze / CAH
The Argentine duo made up of Berissense Horacio Cifuentes and Camila Argüelles won the silver medal in table tennis at the 2022 South American Games in Asunción.
The national team, which reached the final without losing any match, found itself in the decisive match with a tough stumbling block with the Chilean couple made up of Gustavo Gómez and Daniela Ortega, who won 3-0 with the following partials: 11 -9, 11-7 and 11-7.
The table tennis activity will continue today. Argentina has secured medals in both women’s and men’s doubles.
THE BRONZE CLAW
On the other hand, the Argentine women’s handball team had to settle for the bronze medal after losing to Brazil by 26-15, in the last performance of La Garra at the 2022 Asunción Games.
The national team equalized in the positions with Paraguay, which in the previous match fell against Chile (22-17), but remained with the third step of the podium due to Olympic playoff, since in the confrontation between the two, the Paraguayan team imposed 23-22, in the last ball.
In this case against Brazil, the La Plata winger Lucía Dalle Crode did not score so many, but the Estudiantes player rounded off a good tournament. The Argentine team, already had a place for the Pan American Games in Santiago 2023 (something that the Brazilians did not count until they obtained this South American title), was made up of players -mostly youth- from the local environment to give it filming at an international level. .
To all this, today the men’s handball team will start playing, which has in its ranks Francisco “Panchito” Lombardi, from La Plata, former Estudiantes and current Guadalajara player in the Asobal League of Spain.
Argentina, as was said, will premiere today at the 2022 Asunción Games facing Venezuela from 2:30 p.m. with TyC Sports and TyC Sports Play televising. The Gladiators will try to win one of the two places that this competition provides for the Pan American Games. They are also clear favorites to win the gold, since Brazil, having already qualified for Santiago 2023, decided not to participate in the tournament.
After the rout against Peru (20-0), Las Leonas will play today the women’s hockey final against Chile. The gold medal match will be played from 19:15.
