Puerto Rico’s Jean Pizarro Latorre successfully defended his compound men’s title after edging Mexico’s Rodrigo Gonzalez De Alba in a shoot-off as the individual events concluded at the XXV Juegos Centroamericanos y del Caribe Santo Domingo 2026.
Tied at 144 after five ends, both archers shot nines in the shoot-off, but Pizarro’s arrow landed closer to the centre to retain his title.
Guatemala’s Jose Marcelo Del Cid claimed bronze with a 149-145 win over El Salvador’s Douglas Vladimir Nolasco. Del Cid established an early advantage and maintained control throughout the match to secure Guatemala’s place on the podium.
Colombia’s Sara Lopez also returned to the top of the podium in the compound women’s event.
Lopez repeated her Barranquilla 2018 triumph over Mexico’s Andrea Maya Becerra Arizaga with a 147-145 victory to claim compound women’s gold.
Becerra’s wait for a Central American and Caribbean Games individual gold continues as the world number one settled for a third consecutive silver despite arriving in Santo Domingo as the top seed.
Mexico’s Ana Sofía Hernández edged Venezuela’s Ana Mendoza 144-143 to secure the bronze medal.
