Latin American Heroes – Jorge Delgado Panchana!

During the South American Swimming Championship, which was held in Arica (Chile) in the early 1970s, Ecuador’s swimmer Jorge Delgado came to international attention when he picked up a total of eight medals (5 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze). In Arica, Delgado, 17, beat Juan Carlos “Johnny” Bello, a sporting legend in Peru and Latin America. Without a doubt, he was Bello’s successor. Some years ago, at a meet in the United States, Bello had defeated Mark Spitz, who won seven 1972 Olympic golds.
