dcro 10,179 Posted July 22, 2018 #165 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Briliant bronze for Barbados. Hopefully they'll take up Pan American quota and then eventually push for Tokyo. It will be a long road to Tokyo, They could get Group D quota without battle, but it's the minimum requirements that are the main problem. They'll need 3* qualification for Olympics, and this competition for example was only 1*. Pan Ams (2*) should be a good stepping stone, however they'll need to complete some 3* next year already to have any chance. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted July 22, 2018 Author #168 Share Posted July 22, 2018 The girl from El Salvador has now dove from the 7.5m and 5m platforms . While her performance may seen laughable, I applaud her effort and thank her for being the fifth nation entered and therefore allowing the competition to happen. I also think it’s great the El Salvador NOC sent her to compete, since she is young and still has a lot to learn, this will still give her experience nonetheless. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted July 22, 2018 Author #169 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Amazing gold for Cuba in Women’s Platform Diving!!! Cuba beat Mexico by 0.45 points, and the Mexican beat her follow Mexican by 2 points. 1st-3rd were only separated by 2.45 points! “Sport has the power to change the world.

dcro 10,179 Posted July 23, 2018 #170 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Briliant scores from Yvonne Losos de Muniz and the Guatemalan. Dominican Republic might shock Mexico for team gold. Colombia meanwhile is outside medals. Looks like they lost ground in dressage like in eventing. I'm quite sure they've never failed to win a medal in team dressage, and now they'll fail to do so on the home ground! #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
