The first decision was made by women. The team composed of Vitória Marcelino, Lays da Silva, Vanessa Sassá and Thayná Silva was overtaken by the Americans by 21 to 9. The match ended just before the regulation ten minutes (occurs when one of the teams reaches 21 points). Thayná was the main Brazilian player in the final, with four points.
Brazil’s campaign until the decision was perfect. In the first phase, the selection went through Guatemala (21 to 12) and the Dominican Republic (21 to 14). In the quarter-finals, he scored 21 to 8 in Argentina. In the semifinal, they defeated Canada by 20 to 13.
The men’s final was balanced most of the time, with leadership changes on the scoreboard. With four minutes to go, when the US won 14-13, Brazil committed the sixth foul. From then on, Americans would have the right to one free throw for each new Brazilian infraction. The hosts took control and closed the match 21-15.
The men’s trajectory began with a 22-12 victory over Chile. In the sequence, Brazil beat Jamaica by 20 to 15. In the quarterfinals, the victim was Mexico: 20 to 12. Same score as the victory over the Dominican Republic, in the semifinal. The team in the USA was formed by André Ferros, Jefferson Socas, William Weihermann and Léo Branquinho.
