Colombia’s Cristobal Giraldo Rios matched Langone’s three golds. He won both recurve U18 men’s individual titles, leading an all-Colombian Open podium, and was part of the Colombian trio that beat Ecuador for recurve U18 men’s team gold.
Ecuador’s depth in compound accounted for much of its medal haul. The hosts swept every podium place in compound U18 women and compound U15 women across both the Open and South American Championship, with Dariana Isabel Heredia Sanchez and Diana Gangotena Rodriguez each winning two titles. Mateo Israel Fierro Boada led another Ecuadorian sweep in the South American Championship compound U15 men’s event, while Alessia Mijanow Rubira Guerra won both recurve U15 women’s titles.
Brazil’s Rafael Magalhães, who posted the highest qualification score of the week, won both compound U21 men’s titles, leading a Brazilian sweep of the Open podium.
Among the masters, Brazil claimed both recurve 50+ titles through Moisés Guimarães and Fabiola Dergovics, who each won the Open and South American Championship events. Colombia’s Gildardo Anselmo Fuentes, the defending Open champion, took silver in both recurve 50+ men’s finals.
Marcelle Artamonoff won both compound 50+ women’s titles for Brazil, and Vanderlei Dantas claimed South American Championship gold in compound 50+ men. Dantas fell one point short in the Open final, where Costa Rica’s Carlos Salas Rodríguez won 140-139. Costa Rica collected a second gold through Yhorman Morales Fuentes in compound U15 men.
In barebow, Ecuador’s Franklin Hernan Lopez Guerrero won the combined Open 50+ and U21 men’s event from the fourth seed, while compatriot Jorge Ulpiano Proaño Ruiz beat Lopez for the South American Championship barebow 50+ men’s title.
