The first joy for the delegation of the Argentina in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. It was from the hand of The Pumas, who were left with the bronze medal in the tournament rugby 7 after beating in the match for third place Britain. It is the 75th medal in history for our country and it came on the fifth day of a competition that will continue between this Wednesday and Thursday with a full schedule that will include the return of Delfina Pignatiello to the pool of the Aquatic Center of the Japanese capital as one of the main attractions.
Pignatiello, who made a lackluster debut in the 1,500m, will try his luck in his other specialty, the 800m freestyle. The great challenge for the Sanisidrense is in principle to be closer to her best records. In swimming it will also be the turn of Santiago Grassi, who will participate in the 100-meter butterfly qualifying rounds.
Among the collective sports there will be action to The Panthers, that they will see them with Italy, and to The Lions, who will seek to return to the triumph before India, a rival of weight.
