Medal round draws at the 33rd IRF World Junior Championships

The group stage of play is complete at the 33rd International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Junior Championships in Guatemala City, Guatemala. The results from the group stage have been used to seed players for the medal round which will begin on Tuesday, and we have all the medal round draws for you below.

In Girls U21, Angelica Barrios is the 2nd seed, but must be the favorite to win the title, as she’s the 12 ranked player in the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT).

In Boys U21, Diego Garcia of Argentina is our favorite to win the title, although he’s only seeded 4th. Both Erick Trujillo of Mexico and Bolivia’s Hector Barrios are strong players, so there are other possibilities for gold.

They will live streaming some of the matches from Guatemala, so check out the IRF YouTube channel or the IRF Facebook page for the action.

Here’s what the results look like so far.
