It's a bit confusing. That tournament this year drew barely anyone.

Well, probably and hopefully, it will attract a bigger crowd in its next edition.

And like it's tradition, the men's side gets over confident and lost a match they could have won

More surprised the women qualified vs the men not qualifying.

Well, they have been the dominant team in the region since last Olympic cycle, which is rather good considering we didn't have a team 10 years ago.

Men have grown, but they still make silly mistakes and lack proper team play... they depend too much on individual plays.

Yea, but they looked really shaky here (losing to the DR). The men looked dominant till the loss vs Guyana.

Tomorrow starts qualifications in Rhythmic Gymnastics.

 

Live video will be available at host federation FB page.

 

From the start lists Brazil, Canada, Mexico and USA should have no problem in securing max number of gymnasts (2 individuals & 5 in groups)

In individuals, only one country won't qualify, which I'm afraid will be either Bolivia, Chile or Venezuela. Peru, as host country, will be awarded an additional spot, meaning 17 individuals will compete next year. However, I'm sure she will finish in last place.

For the groups, Peru and Costa Rica are definitely out, while the other 2 tickets should be contested between Argentina, Chile, Cuba and even Venezuela.

Apparently a brazilian athlete broke the pan american record in bowling among women and men

In rhythmic gymnastics, qualified nations are:

Individual:  (2)  (2)  (2)  (2)  (2)  (2)  (1)  (1)  (1)  (1)

Groups:  and three other groups (complete results are nowhere to be found at the moment).

I believe  will also receive one quota in individual and maybe one for the group event as well.
