The Pará delegation won eight medals, including six gold and two silver, as well as a trophy for Best Coach, also securing spots for the World Bodybuilding Championship, which will take place on December 5 and 6 in Spain.
The State Secretary of Sports and Leisure, Cássio Andrade, highlighted that the result reflects the investment of the Government of Pará in high-performance sports.
