Tuesday, November 21st, 2023.- The team Canada mixed wheelchair rugby has found success in the Centro de Deportes Colectivos. Since their debut last Saturday until now, they have only known victories, and today, they defeated one of their toughest rivals, their neighbors from the United States. 

The first quarter favored the Americans with a tight score of 12-11, but Canada turned the game around with a partial score of 12-10 to go into halftime with a 1-point advantage. 

With that minimal difference, they played the last two quarters, where they managed to extend the lead to finally win the match by 5 points. 

The path of the only undefeated team in Santiago 2023 has been successful with wins over Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and the United States. In this way, Canada, with its candidacy displayed, advances to the semifinals of these Pan American Games. 

It's worth noting that this discipline secures a spot in the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games.
