Emanuel Otalvaro is 14 years old, yet he managed to win the competition against opponents up to five years older. Emanuel defeated Remi Chambet-Weil of the Netherlands 3:1 in the knockout stage and Diego Piguave 3:1 in the semi-final. His final opponent was Joshua Robayo from the host country Ecuador. Emanuel won 11:5, 10:12, 11:5 and 11:6.
Despite winning the U19 title, Emanuel “only” reached the semi-finals of the U17 event, where he beat Rivardo Bernal from Ecuador in the quarter-finals, but lost to the same Joshua he had beaten in the U19 final.
Two victories for Alexander
Alexander Malov flew all the way from Spain to take part and got a good reward. “Sasha” won the U15 after beating Ecuadorian Juan Montalvo and Boris Villavicencio, also from Ecuador, in straight games in the quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively.
In the final, Alexander lost one game – but eventually won 3:1 against Ricardo Bernal 11:8, 11:6, 7:11 and 11:4.

In the U15 mixed doubles Sasha won his second gold medal, this time together with Mariana Rodriquez from Colombia. The team had a tough semi-final against the host nation’s Karolayn Moldonado/Cesar Revelo, which they won 3:2 (11:3 in the decider). The final was a straight-sets affair against Emily Macay/Matias Baldeon, also from Ecuador, who were unable to play, thus it was a walk over.
