Havana, October 29 (RHC)-- The two gold medals won by Cuba in judo were the highlights of Sunday's Santiago 2023 Pan American Games, widely dominated by Brazil.

Maylín del Toro gave Cuba its first title, finishing as champion in the up to 63 kilograms division. The other was won by Idelannis Gómez in 70.

Del Toro defeated Canada's Isabelle Harris in the final with a sweep after just 35 seconds of combat.

On her part, Gomez disputed the title against Puerto Rican Maria Luz Perez, whom she defeated on golden point by ippón, when she was behind in penalties.

The other two titles of the day went to the auriverde team, which even had the luxury of making 1-2 in 73 kilograms, after Gabriel Falcao defeated his compatriot Daniel Borges in the final by no show.

Tomorrow Monday's prpogram includes the actions in 90, 100 and over 100 kilograms for men, and 78 and over 78 for women (Source: Prensa Latina).
