LIMA - It might have been Peru’s Independence Day but it was Mexico doing much of the celebrating at the Pan Am Games on Sunday as they continued their spectacular start in Lima, claiming gold in the women’s mountain bike and taekwondo.
Heading into the evening sessions, Mexico was sitting top the medal table with eight golds and 20 medals overall, ahead of the U.S. on five golds and 15 medals. Peru added to their medal haul on Sunday grabbing a bronze in mixed pairs poomsae taekwondo but the country was still basking in the glow of marathon wins by Gladys Tejeda and Christian Pacheco.
“I wondered this week whether I was ready for the competition, and I was very nervous when I started today, but it didn’t take long for that to go,” said Campuzano, who was Mexico’s flagbearer at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
