CUsing a solid presentation, Magallanes beat Santa Cruz yesterday in the semifinals by 79-58 and qualified for the grand final of women’s basketball in the Araucanía Binational Games that are taking place in the Aysén Region.
The team led by Renato Torres, which remains undefeated in four games, had a change of rival, since initially it was thought that it would face the best second in the first phase under strict scoring criteria, in that case Neuquén, which participated in the only group of five teams (the others were four). Based on this, Santa Cruz demanded his presence in the “semi” appealing to a better performance percentage with fewer games played.
Line for the sum, Magallanes once again faced the team from the neighboring Argentine province, whom he had already beaten in zone “A” (57-48) and yesterday he did it again but with greater authority, winning in all the quarters (27-10, 14-12, 19-18 and 19-11).
The final will be today at 3 p.m. at the Aysén Sports Center against Río Negro, who in the other “semi” eliminated Biobío 64-63 in a disputed match.
Meanwhile, the Magellanic team that participated in men’s basketball ended its participation with four losses and in last place, losing yesterday 50-52 to Ñuble in the twelfth place match.

The Magellans also added yesterday the following medals in their respective disciplines:

The swimming has already ended with Magallanes placed third in the general women’s classification, behind Chubut and the champion Santa Cruz. The men from our region, for their part, finished eleventh overall.
As for volleyball, Magallanes was competing for eleventh place in the women’s team last night against Los Ríos and the men lost 0-3 yesterday against La Pampa, totaling six defeats in their group to finish last (13th place).
IN PUNTA ARENAS
Two disciplines of the 2024 Games are taking place in Punta Arenas.
Yesterday, on the penultimate day of cycling (Ruta 9 Sur), Sophia Montebruno (La Araucanía) won the women’s 8-kilometer individual time trial, while Ignacio Labrín (Ñuble) won the men’s 15-kilometer race. The Magellans did not appear in the advanced positions.
Today the cycling will end with the street circuit of 30 kilometers for women (10 hours) and 60 kilometers for men (11.20) on España Avenue, between Pedro Aguirre Cerda and Boliviana.
Finally, let us remember that in men’s soccer, Magallanes, playing at home, finished last as a result of three defeats in the group stage (they participated in the only zone with four teams, the others with three).
Meanwhile, the ladies of our region recorded their first victory yesterday after two defeats in the group stage, by beating Aysén 2-1 (consolation round). Today they will compete for ninth place against Los Lagos at 1:00 p.m. in “La Bombonera”.
