The red-and-black duo of Gabriela Regly and Laura Miccuci won silver in the junior duet at the Pan American Games last week (21 to 27.08), standing out in Santiago, Chile. After their great result in the tournament, Gabriela classified the outcome of the competition as positive for synchronized swimming.
"It was a very good experience for us, we learned a lot. From nutrition during training to how to face our opponents and overcome ourselves. Even competing against national teams, we were very focused on achieving our goals and ended up competing on equal terms against them, taking second place behind one of the duos from Mexico," said the athlete.
