Three Parapan American records were also set on day two of Toronto 2015.
Chile's Juan Garrido Acevedo, Cuba's Danilo Rodriguez Garcia and Colombia's Jainer Cantillo all set new Games records on their way to gold on Sunday (9 August), the second day of powerlifting at the Toronto 2015 Parapan American Games.
Garrido took gold in the men's up to 59kg class with a 175kg lift. The 35-year-old had already taken the lead with a first 170kg haul. Brazil's Bruno Pinheiro Carra (162kg) sealed silver, whilst Cuba's Yoander Arias (137kg) collected bronze. Chile has now doubled its gold medal tally from the Guadalajara 2011 Parapan American Games.
