The Colombian boxer Jenny Arias gave Colombia its seventh gold medal this Friday at the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games. It is the world runner-up’s first gold medal in the tournament.
Arias defeated, in the bantamweight category, the Brazilian Tatiana de Jesús, who had just defeated the Chilean Denisse Bravo in the semifinals, on points.
The Colombian overcame a start in which the Brazilian was surpassing her to finally win the gold in a split decision, 3-2.
In this Olympic cycle, Arias had also won gold in the Central American and Caribbean Games and the Bolivarian Games, while in the South American Games she won the silver medal.
