Bolivia set for big gold medal haul at 2025 IRF World Junior Championships

Bolivia will have a chance to take home a lot of gold medals Saturday, as they won many semi-final matches Friday at the 36th International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Junior Championships in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Bolivia is assured of gold in both the Boys and Girls U21 Singles divisions, as they are all Bolivia finals. Camila Rivero has a chance to successfully defend her Girls U21 title, as she beat Guatemalan Andrea Gabriela Reyes Perez, 11-5, 11-5, 11-7, in one semi-final. She’ll play team-mate Rebecca Amaya Ardaya in the final, as Amaya Ardaya defeated Mexican Angela Veronica Ortega Sabido, 11-7, 11-8, 11-6, in the other semi.

In Boys U21 Singles, top seed Jonathan Fernando Flores Vega of Bolivia beat Mexico’s Jorge Gutierrez, 11-6, 11-8, 11-6, in the semi-finals, while his teammate Nicolas Ramiro Iglesias Rivera hung on to defeat 2nd seeded Mexican Sebastian Hernández in the other semi, 11-9, 11-7, 7-11, 8-11, 11-9.

The only division that won’t have a Bolivan in the final is Boys U18 Doubles, as the Ecuador team of Martin Carchi and Juan David Sea Cueva defeated Bolivians Josue Farfan Enriquez and Marco Mamani Aguilar in the semis, 11-8, 5-11, 11-7, 10-12, 11-8. Ecuador will play the Mexican top seeds Eder Renteria and Diego Romano in the final, as the Mexicans beat Canadian 4th seeds Leyton Gouldie and Raphaël Guillemette, 17-15, 16-14, 11-8, in the other semi.

Gold Medal Possibilities

Overall, Bolivia could win gold in 14 of the 15 World Cup divisions. Aside from the two U21 singles finals mentioned above, the other four World Cup singles finals (the boys and girls U18 & U16 divisions) are all Bolivia versus Mexico.

However, Bolivia can only win one of the boys doubles divisions: U16. Mexico could win the other two (U21 & U18), and there are three different countries as the opponents in those divisions.

In girls doubles, it’s Bolivia versus Mexico in both U21 and U18, but Bolivia versus Costa Rica in U16. Thus, Bolivia could sweep gold in girls doubles.

Bolivia could also sweep the three Mixed Doubles divisions, and their opponents will be from three different countries: USA in U21, Mexico in U18, and Costa Rica in U16.

Mexico could win gold in 9 divisions. Costa Rica has the third most finalists, as they are in all three U16 doubles finals: boys, girls and mixed. Guatemala, Ecuador and the USA each have one gold medal chance.

They are live streaming matches from Santo Domingo, so check out the IRF YouTube channel.

Note that the times are local, and Santo Domingo is one hour ahead of Eastern Standard Time in North America, so Noon in Santo Domingo is 11 AM in New York City.

Quarterfinal day at the 36th IRF World Junior Championships

Thursday was quarterfinal day at the 36th International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Junior Championships in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, so some players reached their respective podiums, and some did not.

Bolivian Camila Rivero is on track to defend her title in Girls U21, as she defeated American Naomi Ros, 8-11, 11-5, 11-6, 11-8, in the quarterfinals. Next up for Rivero will be a semi-final match against Guatemalan Andrea Gabriela Reyes Perez, who was an upset winner Thursday, as 6th seeded Reyes Perez beat the 3rd seed Ivanna Balderrama of Mexico, 11-9, 7-11, 11-9, 13-11.

In the other Girls U21 quarterfinals top seed Angela Veronica Ortega Sabido of Mexico came back from a game down to defeat Ecuador’s Maria Angela Villacreses, 9-11, 11-4, 11-7, 13-11, and 5th seed Rebecca Amaya Ardaya of Bolivia upset 4th seed Paula Mansilla of Chile, 11-7, 12-14, 11-4, 11-7, so Ortega Sabido will play Amaya Ardaya in the other semi-final on Friday.

In Boys U21 Singles, it’ll be Mexico versus Bolivia in both semi-finals. Top seed Jonathan Fernando Flores Vega of Bolivia beat American DJ Mendoza, 11-5, 11-3, 11-6, and will play Mexico’s Jorge Gutierrez, who defeated Jose Caceres of Guatemala, 11-4, 11-3, 11-2, in one semi, and Flores Vega’s teammate Nicolas Ramiro Iglesias Rivera, a winner over Chilean Jaime Mansilla, 8-11, 12-10, 11-4, 11-5, will face 2nd seeded Mexican Sebastian Hernández in the other semi, as Hernández defeated the USA’s Cole Sendrey, 11-4, 11-13, 11-3, 11-6.

If you’re looking a match to watch from today’s action, we suggest the U21 Mixed Doubles match between Chileans Jaime Mansilla and Paula Mansilla and Mexicans Sebastian Hernández and Angela Veronica Ortega Sabido, which - SPOILER ALERT! - Chile won 11-9, 11-9, 12-14, 15-13.

Medal Count

With the semi-finalists determined, we can count how many medals each country will take home from Santo Domingo. The colours of the medals aren’t known yet, but everyone in the semis will be on the podium, as both semi-finalists will be awarded bronze medals.

Here are the totals.

Bolivia - 21
Mexico - 17
USA - 6
Guatemala - 5
Costa Rica - 4
Canada - 3
Chile - 2
Ecuador - 2

As we stated yesterday, Bolivia and Mexico are the racquetball powerhouses at World Juniors, and if you needed proof of that, it’s right there. Those two countries will take home over 63% of the medals this year. They’ll also have all the medals in three singles divisions: Boys U21 and U18 and Girls U18. In the other three singles divisions Bolivians or Mexicans are three of the four medalists.

As for the other countries, Costa Rica’s medals are all in U16 with Alvaro Guillen involved in three of them (singles, doubles and mixed doubles). Canada’s are all in U18 with Leyton Gouldie and Chloe Jauvin involved in two each (doubles and mixed doubles). Chile’s are in U21 with Paula Mansilla involved in both (doubles and mixed doubles). Americans and Guatemalans will take home medals across all three World Cup divisions: U21, U18 and U16.

They are live streaming matches from Santo Domingo, so check out the IRF YouTube channel.

Note that the times are local, and Santo Domingo is one hour ahead of Eastern Standard Time in North America, so Noon in Santo Domingo is 11 AM in New York City.

First day of medal rounds at 36th IRF World Junior Championships

The medal rounds have begun at the 36th International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Junior Championships in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, so things are getting serious. There haven’t been any big surprises so far, but they have reached the quarterfinal stage, so Thursday will determine who is going to be on the podium.

Let’s highlight some matches in the U21 divisions.

We said there have been no surprises, but we were surprised that American Naomi Ros lost two of her three matches in the group stage, as she had a successful summer competing for the USA at the World Games in China, where she won gold in Mixed Doubles with Jake Bredenbeck.

One of Ros’s losses was to Bolivian Camila Rivero, who is looking to defend her World Junior title from a year ago. Ros will have a chance to avenge that loss when they meet again in the quarters on Thursday.

Ros’s team-mate Cole Sendrey is in a similar situation in Boys U21, as he’ll be up against Mexican Sebastian Hernández in the quarters Thursday, and looking to avenge a loss against him in the group stage. That was a close match, going four games with one of them needing extra points to decide it. Hernández was runner up in this division last year, so you know he’ll want to go one step further this year.

Mexico and Bolivia are the powerhouses of junior racquetball, so players from those countries often get on the podium, if not in the finals. Thus, it worth noting when they will miss a final, which will be case in Girl’s U16 Doubles.

Costa Ricans Giuliana Faeth and Larissa Faeth won their group - defeating the Mexican team of Lily Farias and Andrea Perez Picos in the process - so they are the top seeds for the medal round. They’ll play Guatemalans Paula Aldana and Isabella Wer in the semi-finals, as Aldana and Wer defeated Canadians Kaitlyn Couckuyt and Ariana Buller, 12-10, 11-5, 8-11, 11-5, in the quarterfinals Wednesday. The Mexicans will play the Bolivian team of Luciana Illanes Quenta and Suszel Andrea Pairo Galileo in the other semi, so at least this division will not have both Bolivia and Mexico in the final.

They are live streaming matches from Santo Domingo, so check out the IRF YouTube channel or the IRF Facebook page for the action.

Note that the times are local, and Santo Domingo is one hour ahead of Eastern Standard Time in North America, so Noon in Santo Domingo is 11 AM in New York City.
