Angelo Mota Brea won the silver medal for wrestling, only losing in the final to the USA's Henry Lester. This is Mota's second Pan Am silver. Hansel Ramirez and Jose Antonio Arias won bronze medals in their weight class. Ramirez was in the 55 kg division of the Greco-Roman style wrestling, where he defeated Brazilian Fabio Cunha for the bronze. In the 84 kg class, Arias defeated Rafael Aguiar 5-0 to win his bronze. In boxing, Claudio Marrero is assured of at least a silver medal, and Wilton Mendez had to be satisfied with the bronze. In bowling, Rolando Antonio Sebelen and Victor Richards won the bronze medal in the men's doubles competition. In track and field Juana Castillo is currently in fourth place after four events in the women's heptathlon.
