This morning, Cristhian Pacheco, 30 years old, made history once again by winning the gold medal in the men's marathon at the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games held in Chile.

With a time of 2h 11m 14s, the National athlete surpassed Chilean runner Hugo Catrileo (2:12:07), who claimed the silver medal. Peruvian runner Luis Ostos (2:12:34) took third place on the podium.

Two-time Champion

Pacheco Mendoza stayed in the leading group from the beginning and ran a smart race. In the last half hour, he executed his strategy and pulled away from his rivals, showcasing his abilities.
