The Pigosi family shines at the Central American Games: 12 medals for Dominican water skiing
Dominican water skiing experienced a historic moment thanks to the outstanding performance of the Pigosi brothers, who managed to harvest a total of 12 medals during their participation in the Central American and Caribbean Games. The athletes, originally from Boca Chica, became the protagonists of the discipline, taking the tricolor flag to the highest part of the podium in a competition marked by family and national pride.
The family delegation, which combined talent and effort, achieved an impressive harvest that included gold, silver, and bronze medals. Among the most notable results, Andrea Pigosi took home one gold and two silver medals, while another of her siblings also added a gold to the Dominican team’s overall tally.
An unforgettable experience at home
For the Pigosi siblings, competing on Dominican soil represented a unique opportunity. Beyond the medals obtained, they valued the impeccable organization of the event and the warm support of the local fans, who turned out to support a discipline that seeks to consolidate itself with greater strength in the country.
The experience is very cool. We have been to Pan American Games before, but the organization here in the country was truly the best I have seen. We had a super good time and are very happy to be able to bring these medals along with my siblings to the Dominican Republic.
