In this never-ending year, tomorrow the South American Championships will begin. I'm not sure if this is a qualifying event for the 2022 South American Games, but I'm kind of expecting it to be since even decided to send gymnasts this time. Color me surprised. will host the event and they are taking this very seriously with their best gymnasts. , and will fight for some minor medals. has a pretty decent line-up too with Perea and Chiriboga with a big chance of winning gold medals. decided to send two teams with up and coming gymnasts, so this will be the senior debut for all of them, except for Carolyne Pedro who is a veteran but had a very nasty injury and is now competing for the first time after going through the nightmare of a delicate surgery and a long time recovering.
I expect to win at least five gold medals: women's team, all-around and uneven bars, men's rings and pommel horse. Women's vault could also go to Argentina, but Perea is the reigning Pan American bronze medalist so she has the edge here.
I'm very curious about what has to show. Also, it's pretty sad that will only send one gymnast, but at least there's some form of representation here.
