Puerto Rico's Panamerican women delegation consisted of six teams. This has been the largest female delegation that has participated in maxi-basketball tournaments. Puerto Rico had two teams in the +35 category, one team in the +40 category, two teams in the +45 category, one team in the +50 category and one team in the +60 category. Puerto Rico faced teams from Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, among others, had several players that represented their countries in past Olympic games.
Our girls won bronze medals in the +35 and +50 category. In addition, Silver Medal at +35. The +45 teams were among the top eight teams. The +40 category was among the top 12 in their first tournament at the international level. The +60 team was in the top 10.
We are proud of our team's performance. These athletes demonstrated their skills and talent but also their commitment to health thru the sport they love.
We want to thank our sponsor Mutiny Puerto Rico for making it possible. The next tournament for our teams is the 2025 Maxibasket World Cup to be held in Bellinzona-Lugano-Locarno, Switzerland.
