Déborah Rodríguez did 2'01.76 at the 800 m semifinals.

 

Emiliano Lasa did 7.95 m at the long jump, missing the finals by 1 cm!

So sad for Lasa missing the final this time.

 

I remember seeing him at the 2011 Pan American Games, when his career was just starting, he looked so happy just with reaching the final then.

In athletics, Maria Pía Fernández got injured the day before her heat race. She ran anyway and finished the race.

 

In sailing, Lola Moreira finished 22nd in the overall rankings, and Defazio/Knüppel finished 18th.

In rugby, Los Teros defeated United States, and qualified to the 2023 World Cup.

 

In football, the men's team drew Colombia and lost 3-0 to Argentina. Brazil is next.

 

In handball, the women 's team finished 4th at the South and Central American Championship. Only the top 3 qualified, and out team drew 3rd and 5th place finishers Paraguay and Chile.


In swimming, the men's under-18 waterpolo team is selling lottery tickets to fund their travel to the South American championship. One wonders what's the continental and world federations spending their budget on.

This week it's the Uruguay Open, an ATP Challenger Tour tennis tournament. I may attend tonight. Next week it's the Montevideo Open, a WTA 125k tournament.

 

On Friday and Saturday it's the Torneo Valentín Martínez, a multi-sport tournament held at Carrasco Polo that will feature the South American Rugby Women's Sevens.

 

And this weekend it's also the Rutas de América women's cycling stage race.

    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
