Doze medalhas para o Brasil no encerramento do Campeonato Pan-Americano de boxe, em Puebla, no México: três de ouro, duas de prata e sete de bronze. A conta rende 12 vagas entre as 14 categorias que estarão nos Jogos Pan-Americanos de Lima 2027.
As vagas pertencem ao país, e não a um atleta específico. Os dois pesos que ficaram de fora ainda podem ser classificados em torneios qualificatórios.
Subiram ao topo do pódio Viviane Pereira (70kg), Isaías Filho (90kg) e o capixaba Yuri Falcão (65kg). As duas primeiras finais foram contra americanas, Isabella Winkler e Nelson Williams; o capixaba Falcão venceu o canadense Gabriel Labrie.
As pratas ficaram com Jucielen Cerqueira (57kg) e Michael Douglas (55kg), superados por americanos.
Os bronzes foram de Carol Barbosa (51kg), Tati de Jesus (54kg) e Rebeca Lima (60kg). Na sequência, Bia Ferreira (65kg) e Adriele Nascimento (75kg), com Wanderley Pereira (80kg) e Joel Ramos (+90kg) fechando a lista.
Bia, dona de duas medalhas olímpicas, tinha caminho aberto para mais, mas sofreu entorse no joelho esquerdo nas quartas. A comissão técnica a retirou antes da semifinal, já que a vaga olímpica-pan-americana estava garantida, para evitar agravar a lesão.
