The duo made up of Ramona Torres and Marcos Moreira will seek the Gold medal in Bocce, in the mixed Raffa modality at the Bochódromo of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee. The appointment is for 2:30 p.m.

The other great expectation is generated by Tennis where there is already a guaranteed medal, but the chance of Gold is still very latent. In Women’s Singles, Leyla Brítez and Verónica Cepede will have to face the semifinals this Friday because Thursday’s billboard was suspended due to inclement weather.

Leyla will open the activity of the Paraguayans against the Colombian, María Fernanda Herazo. The duel is scheduled for 11:00, at the Rakiura.

Men’s Futsal has also already secured a medal, but will go for the Gold this Friday at the León Condou when they face Argentina from 8:15 p.m. A tie is enough for Paraguay to win the gold medal.

The girls of the Women’s Futsal, who are already Gold, will close their participation in the competition against Venezuela, from 11:00, for the last date.

The bad news has to do with Beach Volleyball, where unfortunately one of the Paraguayan couples, Erika Mongelos-Michelle Valiente and Giuliana Poletti-Laura Ovelar will say goodbye in the quarterfinals because this Friday they will face each other in that instance from 10:00.

On the date there will also be action for compatriots in Athletics, Cycling, Women’s Volleyball, Squash, Wrestling, Handball and Canoeing.

The Paraguayan Men’s Futsal Team thrashed Bolivia 5-0, on Thursday at the León Condou stadium, and has already secured a medal at the ASU 2022 South American Games. However, the boys want the Gold medal and will look for it this Friday against Argentina.

The white and red goals were the work of Francisco Martínez, Richard Rejala, Pedro Pascottini, and Antonio Ozuna, who billed twice.

With their victory against Bolivia, the fourth in a row in the competition, Paraguay is the only leader with 12 points, while Argentina has 10 units and appears as the only team that can catch up with the Albirroja.

In fact, this Friday, Paraguay and Argentina will define the Gold in this discipline when they face each other from 8:15 p.m. at the León Condou stadium. La Albirroja needs nothing more than a draw to win the gold medal, in the worst case the Silver medal has already been secured.
