Later, the 24-year-old Mason Parris, a bronze medalist in this year’s world championships, beat Venezuela’s José Díaz 2-0 in the 125-kilogram category.

The 29-year-old Zane Richards brought the U.S. its third gold medal in wrestling with a 10-0 victory over Venezuela’s Óscar Tigreros in the 57-kilogram category.
The last final of the day had 27-year-old Tyler Berger topping Cuba’s Franklin Marén 3-0 in the 74-kilogram category. The U.S. team finished first in the wrestling medal table in the past two editions of the continent’s largest multi-sports event, in Toronto and in Lima. Cuba came out on top in the sport’s medal table at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara.
