After the first two days of competition at the 2018 Pan American Women’s Junior Championship, defending title holders Brazil, 2016 runners-up Argentina and 2016 bronze medallists Chile are on the road to claiming the three places available for the continent at the IHF Women’s Junior World Championship. All three sides opened their campaigns at the tournament in Goiana, Brazil with two victories.

 

The Pan American Women’s Junior Championship began on March 21, with Chile the first to collect a win, as they defeated Uruguay 33:20. Argentina followed with a decisive victory over Dominican Republic, 38:19, before Brazil took a convincing 30:22 victory against Paraguay. While Chile and Argentina’s wins were fairly one-sided, Brazil found themselves level, 12:12, versus Paraguay at half-time and relied on a stand-out performance from goalkeeper Renata Arruda to secure the win.

 

On day two of competition, Chile recorded a second victory, 39:19 against Dominican Republic. Argentina faced a tough challenge from Paraguay, winning by a one-goal margin at 26:25, before Brazil claimed a 26:15 victory versus Uruguay.

 

“Our debut was nervous, but today we were quieter. We studied the team a lot and we were ready for everything they had to offer us,” said Brazil’s Iasmim Albuquerque. “The format of this short competition makes every game a final.”

 

Three days of round-robin matches remain, at the end of which the best-ranked team will be crowned champion and the top three sides will book their places at the 2018 IHF Women’s Junior World Championship in Hungary in July. Matches will be streamed live on the Goiana Handball Federation’s Facebook page.
