LIMA 2019: “HISTORIC DAY FOR PERU WITH GOLD MEDALS”
The Organizing Committee celebrated gold medals earned by Peruvians Gladys Tejeda, Cristhian Pacheco, and Diego Elías.
It has been a historic day for Peru, as marathon runners Gladys Tejeda and Cristhian Pacheco and squash player Diego Elías secured the first gold medals.
These were the words of the Lima 2019 spokesperson, Carlos Manuel Lazarte, who described the happy moment he experienced after Cristhian Pacheco crossed the finish line in the district of Miraflores.
“Diego Elías took revenge because he beat the Toronto 2015 squash champion. And he is still competing in doubles,” Lazarte stated during the fifth press conference that he held since the Games started.
Later, the Games spokesperson said the Lima 2019 Organizing Committee keeps calm and does not want to get carried away over the Peruvian delegation performance in the continental event. “Having medals is the best start. They are our heroes,” Lazarte added.
