Stefano Peschiera, the talented Peruvian, won Bronze for his home country at the Paris 2024 Games.
Breaking a 32-year Olympic drought for his country with a historic achievement in Marseille, France, Stefano Peschiera, the Peruvian sailing sensation, secured a hard-fought bronze medal in the men’s Dinghy event, etching his name in the country’s history books.
The last time Peru celebrated an Olympic victory was in 1992 when Juan Giha claimed silver in Skeet Shooting at the Barcelona Games. Now, Peschiera’s triumphant return to the podium has reignited the nation’s pride, marking the first sailing medal for Peru in Olympic history, only the 5th for his country in history and the only medal for the Peruvian Olympic Committee in Paris 2024.
At just 29 years old, Peschiera—already a Pan American champion from the Santiago Games—delivered a remarkable performance in the waters of Marseille. His third-place finish follows gold by Pavlos Kontides of Cyprus and silver by Australia’s Matt Wearn.
