Jeux Pan Am : Rey et Burroughs remportent l'or

By William May

TORONTO, Canada (18 juillet) – Le champion en titre Jordan BURROUGHS (USA) a encore une fois remporté les Jeux Pan American samedi. Les Etats-Unis ont remporté trois médailles d’or et une médaille d’argent lors du dernier jour de compétition des Jeux 2015 de Toronto.

Le champion mondial et olympique Burroughs a facilement remporté trois victoires par supériorité technique, notamment 13-1 face à Livan LOPEZ (CUB) en quarts de finale, et a remporté sa seconde médaille d’or des Jeux Pan Am. Il avait déjà gagné à Guadalajara en 2011.

En finale à 74 kg, Burroughs a affronté le champion des Jeux d’Amérique du Sud Yoan BLANCO (ECU), qu’il a battu avec une série de force-outs en première période.

Lopez, médaillé d’or à 66 kg à Guadalajara, a remporté le bronze après sa défaite face à Burroughs.

Le triple vainqueur des Championnats Pan Am Zach REY (USA) a remporté ses premiers Jeux Pan Am. C’est son deuxième titre continental cette année. Il a battu Korey JARVIS (CAN) 3-0 en finale à 125 kg.

L’ancien champion du monde junior Kyle SNYDER (USA) a gagné 10-0 par supériorité technique face à Arjun GILL (CAN) en finale à 97 kg. C’est son premier titre senior majeur. 

In the 74kg final, Burroughs softened up South American Games champion Yoan BLANCO (ECU) with a series of force-outs in the first period, then wrapped up the technical fall with a single-leg attack and a pair of cross-ankle turns.

Lopez, the gold medalist at 66kg in Guadalajara, rebounded for a bronze medal after his loss to Burroughs.

Meanwhile, three-time Pan American championships winner Zach REY (USA) won his first Pan American Games crown to double up on the continental titles this year. Rey defeated Korey JARVIS (CAN), 3-0, in the 125kg final.

Former junior world champ Kyle SNYDER (USA) made a big splash with his third technical fall of the day, 10-0, over Arjun GILL (CAN) in the 97kg final for his first major senior title.

Jake HERBERT (USA), the Games’ defending middleweight champion, came out on the short end of a wide-open final at 86kg, falling 12-7 to world silver medalist Reineris SALAS (CUB) and his wicked double-leg attack.

With three gold medals on the final day of wrestling, the United States completed the freestyle competition with four of the six gold medals on offer along with a pair of silver medals for 58 points.

Cuba, meanwhile, grabbed the other two gold medals as well as a silver and two more bronze medals, to finish second in freestyle with 49 points. Canada was even more distant in third place with 40 points.
