Put on a great show in Inline Hockey or Hockey online in San Juan as part of the inaugural South American Championship on Sports on Wheels. The tariffs in the women’s and men’s branches were placed in a full playing field.
Our province’s passion for roller hockey was transferred to this little-known game of hockey on the Internet, which received the visit of the “Las guilas” team and the Argentine U19, who came to the Spanish club to watch this sport, very similar, but at the same time slightly different from hockey .
Argentina played both the finals and against the same competitor, the United States, to a high standard in inline hockey due to the development of ice hockey, the original Inline sport that came to this South America as one of the invited teams.
The tariffs started with the women’s final. It was an indisputable 3-0 victory for the United States with two goals from Torri Pesotto (two goals) and Sydney Taft. In this way, North America retained the gold, Argentina took the silver, and the bronze went to Brazil, which beat Uruguay 9-1.
The big celebration came later, as Argentina and the United States played the men’s final and in an emotional match, which ended in a 1-1 draw, they had to decide the tournament with overtime and a golden goal. Finally, the celebration was Argentine and the whole team and the stands raved about.
