Peruvian two-time world champion, Piccolo Clemente, conquered the gold medal in Men's Longboard category on Saturday and became the champion in the Pan American Surfing Games, which will come to an end on Sunday. In addition, Itzel Delgado from Peru won another gold medal and took the Pan American title in Men's SUP Race, while the Argentinean Juliana Gonzales is the new Pan American champion in Women's SUP Race.

Piccolo Clemente had a great performance in the Men's Longboard final, where he won the gold medal and became the Pan American champion in the category with a score of 15.73. He was followed by the surprising performance of the young Uruguayan Julián Schweizer (2nd with 9.23), who took the silver medal. The Peruvian Jorge Vílchez completed the podium, giving Peru the bronze medal with 8.80, while the national surfer Lucas Garrido Lecca finished in fourth place with 8.50.

“I am happy to finish the championship and win my first Pan American title. I want to congratulate Lucas, Julián, and Jorge for their performance. I had the chance to overcome the challenging ocean conditions. A very good championship with many competitors. Thanks to all the Peruvians who are always attentive to my achievements and support national surfing. I still have to defend my world title this year and I will give it my all to achieve it,” said Piccolo Clemente, who adds another title to his successful sports career. The last date of the Claro 2016 Pan American Surfing Games, being held at Punta Roquitas Beach in Lima, will be completed this Sunday.///
