Today promises to be an exciting day filled with 38 finals across various disciplines. It is also a historic day as breaking makes its debut at the Pan American Games, a discipline that will also feature in the Olympics for the first time in Paris 2024.



Just three days before the Games come to a close, the rugby sevens event kicks off in Santiago-2023


Both the breaking and rugby sevens events will conclude tomorrow, Saturday. The stakes are high not only for the Pan American titles, but also for the breaking event, as the winners will secure a direct spot at the Olympic event in Paris next year.
