(By Edgardo Vazquez)
As a Butterfly America coach, I am very proud to share what we experienced at the Asunción 2025 Junior Pan American Games, where our Puerto Rican delegation once again demonstrated the high level and future of Puerto Rican table tennis.
It was a tournament filled with excitement, dedication, and results that reflect the efforts of our athletes:
Gold
• Edmarie León – Women’s Singles
Silver
• Krystal Meléndez / Enrique Ríos – Mixed Doubles
• Edmarie León / Krystal Meléndez – Women’s Doubles
• Steven Moreno / Enrique Ríos – Men’s Team
Bronze
• Edmarie León / Steven Moreno – Mixed Doubles
• Steven Moreno – Men’s Singles
• Edmarie León / Krystal Meléndez – Women’s Team
TOTAL: 7 MEDALS
(1 Gold – 3 Silver – 3 Bronze)
These results are a clear sign that Puerto Rico continues to grow and consolidate itself as one of the youth powers on the continent. Every medal is backed by hard work, discipline, sacrifice, and dreams that are gradually coming true.
I want to give a special thanks to Butterfly for all the support they provide to us as a Federation, to our athletes, and to me as a coach. These achievements confirm that when support, commitment, and talent come together, great things can be achieved.
Thank you to our athletes for representing us with such passion and to all of Puerto Rico for the support. This is just the beginning of what we can achieve together.
We continue to dream big and work wholeheartedly for our island.
