SANTIAGO - Chileans celebrated one of their biggest nights of the Pan American Games on Tuesday with Santiago Adolfo Ford claiming decathlon gold and the women's soccer team winning a 2-1 thriller over the U.S. to reach the final.
Ford's victory took the spotlight away from what is usually the athletics glamour event, the 100m, which saw the Dominican Republic's Jose Alnardo Gonzalez take the men's title in 10.30 seconds and Cuba's Yunisleidy de la Caridad Garcia the women's sprint in 11.36. Ortiz, who made a bit of history on Monday winning the women's over-78 kg title for the fourth consecutive Games, something only her compatriot, Driulis Gonzalez, had done, put her name down as a member of the squad that captured the first ever Pan Am team event.
Itkin romped to a 15-6 win over team mate Miles Chamley Watson in the men's foil while Skarbonkiewicz edged Maia Chamberlain 15-13 to take top spot in the women's sabre.
