Rafaela Silva (-63kg) took silver after being defeated by Canadian Jessica Klimkait, in the golden score.
Daniel Cargnin entered the contest as the number one seed in the category. In the decision, he crossed paths with the American Jack Yonezuka, an opponent who defeated him in the final of the last Pan-American Championship, in 2025.
