Under the burning sun, Miramontes and Virgen of México earned their second win with total domain over Kirk Shervin Rankin and Olney Dean Thompson of Cayman Islands. “There are no small rivals, as we don’t know them well, there’s always a risk of losing” said Miramontes, who hopes to continue winning.

Dominicans, Yewddys Perez and German Recio prevailed over Luis Baide and Manuel Serrano of Honduras in two sets with a strong offensive game. “We had the chance to try some new things so we did” expressed Yewddys, who also feel confident of winning a medal.

Mark Lewis and Dany Wilson of Jamaica add up to the group of winners by winning to Joseph Clercent and Dayne Williams of St. Lucia. Lewis said “we expect a very hard match against Mexico.”

In their debut, Igor Hernandez and Jesus Villafañe of Venezuela, found difficulties in the first set against Fabien Whitfield and Daniel O’Brien Williams of Trinidad, but finally got the win. “We’re not used to this ball and that made things complicated, but we were able to win due to our experience” expressed Venezuela’s captain, Igor Hernandez. They have been playing in the FIVB World Tour and their mind is set on the gold medal of these games.
