Chile made a very good games, a big progress for the chilean sport after the games of Santiago 2014, the 23 golds of Ecuador are VERY IMPRESIVE.

Randomly tuning in just to see commentators getting crazy over Bolivia winning a medal in women's 4x100m relay. A medal for Bolivia in this event, how? Did everyone else got disqualified?

Only 3 countrys participating: Venezuela, Bolivia and Peru........they have a SURE medal there.

I've got our lucky mascot right here

Some comments and trivia about gymnastics. With the medal earned after the group all-around event, Argentina is the only nation in South America to have earned at least one medal in all of the events in gymnastics in the history of the South American Games. This includes trampoline, which was first competed this edition, and Argentina won two medals here. Amazing feat. Also, Argentina had a ridiculous increase in medals in gymnastics. For example, Argentina got zero medals in women's artistic last edition, and now they earned a medal in every event, including a gold medal, and against the A team from Brazil. Also an amazing feat. This was the most diverse edition ever when it comes to medalists in rhythmic gymnastics. Five nations (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Venezuela) earned medals. This edition marks the debut of trampoline, so the Olympic program in gymnastics was fully replicated here (and expanded with six extra events in rhythmic gymnastics). In the future, I hope for three more events: team event in rhythmic gymnastics and men's and women's synchronized trampoline. Also, I don't understand why Aerobic Gymnastics has never been competed, since it is a very important discipline in South America. Scores throughout the different events were very weird. They were a little lower than they were supposed to be in artistic gymnastics and ridiculously low in rhythmic gymnastics. Some routines in rhythmics would have gotten up to 3 or 4 more points in international competition, I suspect. This is insane. Peru must be somewhat disappointed with the results. They have invested a lot of money in gymnastics, and I thought they had a medal in the bag on men's floor, and a gold medal guaranteed on men's vault. In the end, no medal on floor and just a bronze medal on vault, behind Brazil and Uruguay. Speaking of which, Uruguay got their first medal ever at the South American Games in gymnastics. I knew they had enough potential for a medal, but I also knew it would be pretty hard to actually get one. Turns out it wasn't so much. Great achievement for the nation. Finally, I'm happy that my predictions for Brazil (15 gold medals and 25 medals overall) were greatly surpassed (19 gold medals and 33 medals overall), but I'm also kind of sad because I thought we would have had a lot more competition for the gold medals. It's not so nice when one single country earns most of the titles in a competition, so I would have liked a little more diversity. But I hope this makes the other nations train hard to beat our gymnasts. It's great for South America to have as much competition as possible.

Listen, if someone fron the Israeli team got busted for doping during the WBC it would have counted as an Israeli doping case even though most of the players aren’t Israeli citizens. Sports are arbitrary sometimes. It’s also not much of a scandal because literally nobody cares whether Algeria has 0 or 1 dopping case this year except for you.

Brazil managed to win a bronze medal in the 4x100m men's relay with a "improvised" team that included an athlete from the 400m event and another from decathlon. We would also participate in the 4x100m women's relay with a long jumper, but I guess they didn't try. I think only 3 nations have participated and that's a little ridiculous?

Well, 8-0 the final of the women field hockey..........the real final was with Chile in semifinals.

Yes, it was broadcasted on TV here.

Svako dizanje su joj pročitali, ali svako... Užas. Sve je kulminiralo onim kuvanjem u TB.

Same here. My sister and I were so inspired that we used to build our own courses around the house using CD/DVD boxes and VHS tapes as dominos. That was sooo loud.

I got Mexico in the World Cup sweepstakes at work. We're going to do this @mrv86, Mexico for the win

That bronze in Field Hockey made me more happy than most medals Brazil won here.

First event for the Mixed relays ranking starts today in Nottingham Startlist Twitter update

incomplete predictions so far: @stefanbg @heywoodu @James @OlympicsFan

We're just one gold medal behind Colombia, which is quite surprising considering more than half of our athletes are either newcomers or athletes I had never heard about in my life. It's also nice to see Brazilian athletes getting medals in sports in which we're usually pretty bad, such as Diving and especially Field Hockey.

2014 panamerican championship.

Heard about it, Nothing so hard or impressive really, just heard about it and google did the rest itself

Interestingly he said that he might go for more than one sport. Let's go crazy and take a look in which all sports he could possibly compete if he aims to take part in as many as possible. Universality sports Athletics - almost any individual event if selected by Tongan NOC Swimming - any individual event if selected by Tongan NOC Easily achievable continental qualification Judo - Just participating at couple of qualification events should be enough for an Oceanian continental place. Sailing - Just participating at a qualification regatta likely enough for Finn, RS:X, 470, 49er and Nacra. Might face a couple of nations in Laser. Taekwondo - Already qualified there for Rio. Should be easy enough if Australia doesn't choose that weight. Possible continental qualification Archery - Could become possible if Australia gets a quota before the continental qualification, however island nations are not that bad here (including Tonga). Badminton - If Australia again decides to decline men's singles quota, then he could get a continental place. Quite possible, Tonga itself almost qualified for Rio but it turned out that their player didn't have enough international tournaments to be eligible. Canoeing - Both slalom and sprint are possible, though Oceania does have decent athletes outside of AUS/NZL... I guess C1 (200m or 1000m) in sprint might be the best chance. Artistic gymnastics - Should be able to qualify through continental qualification event, provided that both AUS/NZL qualify before. Open water swimming - Could qualify if both AUS/NZL qualify directly and/or decline. Tripartite commission invitation Boxing, Trampoline, Modern pentathlon, Rowing, Table tennis, Weightlifting, Wrestling (+ Archery, Badminton, Canoeing, Artistic gymnastics, Judo, Sailing, Taekwondo) So it's possible for him to compete in 16 sports. However, he may struggle to reach minimum eligibility in a couple of them (I already excluded shooting for example because reaching MQS there is probably impossible). Also, I don't think Tripartite Commission would be that lenient for this cause. Anyone wants to suggest this to him and make a complete mockery of the Olympics? @heywoodu perhaps?

Rollerskiing is freaking hard

Empty bowls make me feel a fear of emptiness, so no, not a good idea..

She must have been a disaster, otherwise it's hard to believe.
