Men's Football CAF African Champions League 2020 - 2021 (First Round, Second Leg)

I mean, the program of these games is always very lopsided for Venezuela. Colombia without the skating this time took a big blow but normally it also favors them.  We compete in every sport while they don't bother with anything on water for example.   We didn't even have those sports when we hosted because these northern countries don't send anyone to reach the minimum number of athletes required for competition.        

The weather yesterday was brilliant at the start.   Wonderful to kickstart something that's appearing internationally for the first time in over a decade.    I do think the programme can be expanded to include more events with a 200m track as well as combined events.    

For just one gold in the end, Argentina finish in the third place of the medal count 

great week for the  crews!    3 wins, 5 medals, a few good placings and Tita / Banti coming back just as good as they were in the Nacra 17, ending up in 4th place only because of a technical fail on their boat (which led them to abandon a race and to a DNS in the following one, when they were comfortably leading the overall standings )   sailing is slowly becoming one of our strongest Olympic sports
