Uruguay National Thread

[NaBUru38 208]

At the Fifa Under-17 Women's World Cup, Uruguay lost 5-0 to Ghana, lost 2-1 to New Zealand, and drew 1-1 to Finlad, so they didn't advance to quarter finals.

  

I haven't attended any match yet.

Last weekend I attended the Grand Prix Sudamericanos Estrella Puente - Darwin Piñeyrúa.

• María Pía Fernández did the women's national record for 3000 m steeplechase with 10'37.12.
• 16 year old Lautaro Techera did the men's U20 national record for javelin throw with 61.63 m,  just 5 cm away from the national record.
• 15 year old Mauro Pons did the men's   U18 national record for high jump with 2.00 m.

What are the best chances for Uruguay to get a medal at the Pan Ams?

I guess Victor Rostagno is a dark horse on vault (and maybe floor, but this is an even longer shot). It's not impossible for him to get a medal.

Lucas Fernández got our first bronze medal in boxing.

 

Football, long jump, surfing and yachting are certain possibilities.

Henry Borges is no joke. He’ll be in the medal hunt at the Paralympics next summer.
