XXI Central American Games - Results


Mexico swept the gold medals at the XXI Central American Games in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. It's a feat they'll hope to repeat at the World Championships in South Korea beginning next week.

Paola Longoria won the women's singles title, defeating Claudine Garcia of the Dominican Republic in the final, 15-2, 15-8. The men's final was an all Mexico affair between Alvaro Beltran and Gilberto Mejia that was won by Beltran after Mejia retired in the second game after losing first, 15-2.

In doubles, Samantha Salas and Susy Acosta won the women's side in a walk over against Garcia and Yira Portes (Dominican Republic), while Polo Gutierrez and Javier Moreno beat Luis Perez and Simon Perdomo (Dominican Republic), 15-2, 15-1.

Congratulations Mexico. I think the next big event would be the World Racquetball Championships to be held in Seoul from the 13th to 22nd of August. There is a India Racquetball that would be participating in the event.
