Argentina closed its participation in the Pan American Games with 75 medals

“The most beautiful thing is to represent Argentina within our activity. We enjoy playing or representing Argentina more than being in our clubs. Furthermore, carrying the flag is an incredible source of pride. I am very happy with the performance we had in the tournament” added the volleyball player, who won bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

For her part, Di Tella assured that it was “totally unexpected” for her to have been chosen as standard bearer by her colleagues. “That part of the recognition is super special. As athletes we share a lot of things. It’s very nice to find those points in common between us and feel accompanied in competitions,” she said.

“Very happy and very grateful. It is an honor to represent fencing, which does not always have so much visibility. I am very happy,” said the fencer.
