Defending a title is seeking the confirmation of reign. In 2021, the women of the United States managed to lift the Pan American Cup for the second consecutive time, and a few days ago they achieved what no one had done on the track until now: becoming three-time champions.

These two teams not only won gold again but also secured their place in the 2025 Indoor World Championship.
