Giraldo, who won the all-around title Tuesday, added gold medals on parallel bars and high bar.

"It was a big victory for Giraldo," said his Japanese-born coach, Junsuke Iwai.

2008 Olympian Luis Rivera won men's vault, his fourth gold in Hormigueros and eighth in Central American Games competition. Competing in his third Games, Rivera is now the most successful Puerto Rican athlete in the competition's history.

"[My performance] was more than I expected," he said. "I really did not expect much from me. I was coming off an injury, but came to help the team."

Sanchez, third all-around, won the balance beam title over Mexico's Elsa Garcia and Venezuela's Jessica Lopez.

Garcia closed the competition by winning the women's floor title over teammate Ana Lago. Garcia left Puerto Rico with three golds, including the vault title and gold for Mexico in the team competition.

Puerto Rico's Nicolle Vasquez tied Lopez for the bronze medal, the only individual medal for the Puerto Rican women in Hormigueros. Puerto Rico, whose coaches include Bulgarian Olympian Silvia Topalova, won the team bronze.

"At first I was crying because I never thought that I would medal," said Vasquez, 15. "It was a lot of emotions all mixed together."

The host nation led the gymnastics medal tally with five golds, five silvers and three bronzes, just edging Colombia (five golds, one silver and three bronzes). Mexico took three golds, six silvers and a bronze, and Venezuela earned three golds, one silver and five bronzes. Guatemala earned a single bronze medal.

The XXII Central American and Caribbean Games will be in 2014 in Veracruz, Mexico.
