Bronze Medal Secured at the Hipódromo Independencia Oval
Competing at the specially constructed venue at the Óvalo del Hipódromo Independencia in Rosario, the Argentine women’s recurve team bounced back from an earlier setback against Brazil. Facing Peru in the bronze medal playoff, the trio proved more effective on the 122-centimeter target face. After dropping the opening set, Pueyo López, Giudice, and Arca swept the next three frames to clinch a decisive 6-2 victory over the Peruvian squad, as detailed by La Capital.
Local Significance for Rosario’s Rising Archer
For Pueyo López, performing on home soil added unique meaning to the achievement. Regarded as one of Argentina’s top archery prospects following her twin gold medals at the Jadar 2025 games, the local athlete delivered under the gaze of her home supporters. Her steady marksmanship reinforced her standing among the premier archers in South America, adding another presea to the Argentine medal count in Santa Fe 2026.
Broader Archery and Aquatics Success for Argentina
The archery venue yielded multiple medals for the national delegation. In the compound women’s team competition, Eugenia González Briozzo, Guillermina González, and Daniela Cheffer secured the silver medal, while Iván Nikolajuk, Nelson Salinas, and Lucas Garcés also claimed silver in the men’s compound event. Meanwhile, in the Invencible Centro Acuático Provincial, the Argentine women’s waterpolo team—featuring local captain Carla Comba alongside Cora Masip, Maitena Romano, and Nahir Stegmayer—defeated Uruguay 23-2. The men’s team, Los Yacarés, secured a dominant double victory over Chile (27-9) and Peru (19-3).
What Comes Next in Santa Fe 2026
Competitions continue across multiple venues in Santa Fe and Rosario, featuring upcoming finals in athletics—where local sprinter Guillermina Belén Cossio advanced in the 200-meter event—alongside ongoing matches in tennis and squash.
