Sad news indeed; with this C team will struggle to even win a medal; better not to send a team at all.

Well, they did the same thing at the Youth Olympics and they  won medals, but it is a problem that neither the US nor Canada  take the PanAm’s seriously

Yeah, some sports are used more for development than to win medals. Though for sports that reward Olympic quota places (or give massive points towards the world rankings that are used for Olympic qualification) or are Pan American only sports we send our best. For things like athletics or swimming, we have the World Championships.

After 2018 CONCACAF's U-20 tournament Second Round & Final Match

As was with women, CONCACAF will determine at a later date which team in both genders will qualify; this means that Mexico is at risk of missing not only the games, but the podium in the men's competition for the first time since 1991.

Really Canada, can't even qualify in the men's team through the Pan American Championships.

 

Also does this mean one of Bahamas, Bermuda or US Virgin Islands is going to qualify a women's team, assuming they send a team to the North American qualifier?

Well it's highly unlikely, but I greatly pray no women's team shows to that tournament.

Brazil, Argentina, Chile qualified a dressage team.

Canada will send a "C" team in swimming, sad because they sent an A team on home soil.

Any word about artistic gymnastics? Women's artistic gymnastics is going through the best ever moment in the Americas, so I hope Canada sends the best of the best.

[intoronto 5,860]

That is one nf that sends it's best team. Swimming doesn't usually because of short turn around between worlds and Pan ams.

The above quotas were awarded according to my interpretation of this document (in spanish); it says that some NOC's had already been allocated places after this year's South American Games, so their competitors couldn't be included in the general classification if they have already reached the maximum number of skaters per gender. This was the case of Colombia in both genders and that of Argentina and Chile in women's.
