AIMAG postponed once more.

PanamSports Channel will stream this event as well. More info from the press release below.

 

Quote

An unprecedented broadcast of the Parapan American Games will take place from November 17 to 26 in the Chilean capital, with 6 live signals in Spanish and English, and more than 600 hours offering the best of Parapan American sports.

Virtually all sports will be broadcast on the Channel: swimming; para-athletics; wheelchair basketball, PC football, blind football, goalball, wheelchair rugby, powerlifting, shooting sports and judo.

 

[Olympian1010 7,542]

There are still two races left on the youth series (both in Innsbruck), but the following NOCs are in a very good position to win at least one quota.

 

M Monobob -  

W Monobob -

 

M Skeleton -

W Skeleton -  

 

A rather eclectic list of nations at the moment. Unless a handful of new nations show up in Innsbruck, there will be quite a few nations getting more than one quota in each event.

Gold for Erin Jackson in speed skating.

She really owns the 500m no matter the surface

A little peak at one of the commentators set ups.

Are non Olympic sports getting axed for 2027?

 

And what about non olympic events (like some classes in sailing or handing out golds for every apparatus is RG)?

Honestly, it still seems pretty unclear. There was all that talk of cuts after Lima 2019, and in the end, there were only a few. If they do cut the non-Olympic sports, I think should go the ODEBO route and create an event for those sports specifically.

 wins a gold medal in Artistic Skating after a great performance from our skater... I guess? It wasn't shown anywhere 

I couldn’t find a single channel showing artistic skating today or yesterday. Big change from 2019.

 

Scheduling definitely screwed those athletes over in terms of exposure.

Let's hope in some nice surprise in Paris.

Yeah, but they aren’t doing so hot in open water gymnastics

I just noticed how full the national stadium is today

Oh well, 3 breakdance matches are enough for me. I think that I can switch to athletics.

Be prepared for disappointment. The competition standard may be lower than you would expect.

[Olympian1010 7,542]

This men’s hammer final is almost certainly the best athletics event of the Games.

Ferrari on the podium, no, not the F1 team. The Argentine trampolinist 

 

Quite a surprise he made the podium. In fact, the entire podium is a shocking dismissal from North American dominance of recent cycles.

 

 in line for the Olympic quota in that order.

 gets a gold medal in inline speed skating. What a shocking an unexpected result 

 

[Olympian1010 7,542]

1000m is a great event for showing off the sport. I’m glad World Skate/PanamSports added it to the program. 
 

I still prefer the distance races myself, but of the sprints, this is the best format without question.

[Olympian1010 7,542]

Commentator calling the skaters “riders,” which is one of the easiest ways to get under my skin. 
 

We have a specific word in English for this activity! You ride a horse. You ride a bike. You skate on wheels (or ice)!

 

Normally not a stickler for language, but this is my hill (linguistically).

Games fatigue is hitting me hard today. It's been fun following these, but I am ready to close the curtains on this thing.
