During the event at the Palacio de los Deportes, Mau faced moments of doubt yet remained steadfast in the eyes of every admirer.

To seize the gold once more, Aczino repeated a ritual that had helped him break a curse in 2017, when he seized his first International Finals title from the last‑place position.
