LIMA - The United States needed only one week to hit the medal century mark at the Pan Am Games on Friday while Canada shot up the table into second place after sweeping all the titles but one on offer in badminton.
Despite those big days, no nation was able to keep pace with the United States, who smashed through the century mark and reached 101 total medals. Brazil’s Ygor Coelho prevented the sweep by beating 18-year-old Canadian Brian Yang in the men’s single final. Olympic heavyweight bronze medalist Erislandy Savon, reigning Olympic middleweight champion Arlen Lopez and light welterweight Andy Cruz all successfully defended their crowns from four years ago at the Toronto Pan Am Games.Kim Rhode, a three-time Olympic champion, claimed gold for the fifth time from six Pan Am Games in the women’s skeet shooting.
The U.S. began another gold medal run early in the day with Connor Baxter winning the men’s stand-up paddle, one of newest events on the Pan Am Games roster, while the women’s event went to Brazil’s Lena Guimaraes.
