Três ouros no último dia e a liderança do quadro de medalhas. O Brasil fechou o Regional das Américas de Paraesgrima com 25 pódios — dez ouros, oito pratas e sete bronzes —, neste domingo, dia 1º, em São Paulo, no Centro de Treinamento Paralímpico Brasileiro.

As três decisões por equipes deste domingo terminaram em vitória brasileira: sobre a Colômbia no sabre e no florete femininos, ambas pelo mesmo 30 a 26, e sobre os Estados Unidos no sabre masculino. O país ainda levou um bronze no florete masculino.

Campeã nas três armas por equipes no feminino, Rayssa Veras falou do desgaste acumulado em seis dias de disputas. “Entregamos tudo que tínhamos nesse último dia. Todo mundo muito cansado, com dores, mas tinha trabalho a ser feito tanto de manhã quanto à tarde, e nos consagramos campeãs”, disse.

No sabre masculino, a final teve um componente de superação. Renato Santana precisou parar no meio da decisão por causa de uma lesão no braço esquerdo; quem entrou foi Vanderson Chaves. “O Van assumiu, assumiu com mérito, conseguiu fechar bem os combates que teve”, contou Renato.

O quadro de medalhas terminou com o Brasil em primeiro, a Colômbia em segundo e os Estados Unidos em terceiro. O torneio teve 81 atletas de oito países, entre eles 22 brasileiros. Os resultados contaram pontos no ranking mundial, que serve de base à corrida por vaga na Paralimpíada de Los Angeles, em 2028.
