The US has entries in every woman’s event and an entry in the men’s extreme. At least according to the ICF. 

I am seeing that now.

 

This sport is likely going to be dropped from future Pan American Games imo. There isn't the demand for it unfortunately

Right, unless they can get the ICF to make it the Continental qualification for the Olympics again. However, I don’t get the feeling that PanAm Sports wants to cut it, so it may stay for a while. Hopefully there’s more interest at the next games.

Also, most Pan Am nations don't have a venue for this, and to make one is kinda expensive - and maybe useless in some cases?

 

I haven't seen a single image of the Lima canoe slalom venue so far, which may be an indication that it's delayed.

Well Canada used a natural venue, I think most nations would be capable of that. Peru definitely has a least one river that meets the requirements I would imagine, same for Chile.

The qualification event was supposed to be there but they withdrew and its probably because its delayed like you are suggesting.

 

Toronto 2015's canoe slalom course had 0 images till the competition started...

I quite liked the course there too. (So did Casey)

And during competition too :p

 

Spoiler

jk

 

I think this was one of the many sports without broadcast? I remember that I wanted to watch the competition but in the end I could only get the online results.

You didn’t look in the right place. If you’ve got 25-35 free minutes I recommend watching though...

I knew about the other nations but I've never seen a canoe competition in Peru (I see now that the competition should be held in Cañete river).

Sportv (brazilian tv) had only 2 channels for the Games, so the choices were limited, in part because many sports weren't in the official broadcast service (like Handball, which we could only watch the final thanks to the argentine tv).

    • I still remember how Demi Moore swept the Razzies for Striptease almost 30 years ago and she won Golden Globes now? The acting industry must be short on talent, scripts or everything else   This being said I don't really watch too many new TV shows these days least of all those Marvel/DC action hero stuff that has taken over in the last decade plus. I know it's a box office gold mine but completely not my taste.
    • Yeah, Anora has been really hard for me to place in my personal rankings. It's a fun and enjoyable film for the most part, but it didn't quite generate the same awe or excitement from me that a few others have this season. Still, I was quite shocked to see Madison lose yesterday because she did a deliver a phenomenal performance in my opinion.    The best actress "race" still feels rather open to me, which adds a bit of suspense to each body's nominations.  
    • Anyone remember that  athlete in a European Champs who was given a false start, then protested and got a re-run?  And then false-started twice.   Was kind of like that. 
    • Justin Trudeau has resigned as party leader and will resign as prime minister of Canada once the Liberal Party choses a new leader. Once a new leader in selected there will likely be elections shortly after.
    • I'm not surprised. Colturi seems to be trending in the right direction (duh) and the rest of the Italian women's team is nowhere except veterans Brignone and Goggia. The Delagos have regressed badly for whatever reason and even Bassino has kinda stalled despite still being in her prime. The shit will soon hit the fan but it's probably to late before the next OG. It would be ridiculous if Albania wins more medals in alpine skiing than Italy
    • The regular season is over. Tennesse Titans get #1 overall pick for the 2025 draft after NE Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills back-ups on the last day.   Mike Evans (Buccaneers) ended his 11th season with 11th mark of 1,000 receiving yards which ties Jerry Rice's all-time record. Bucs needed to run one more play to get him 5 yards he needed instead of kneeling down a game they had won already.   Wild Card Schedule:   My picks: Chargers, Ravens, Bills, Eagles, Commanders, Vikings        
    • Tuesday January 7th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 2 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30  Netherlands vs Romania 16:00  Lithuania vs Great Britain 19:30  Croatia vs China
    • Monday January 6th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 1 Results (GMT +1)   12:30  Lithuania  8 - 2  Netherlands 16:00  Romania  3 - 4  China 19:30  Great Britain  1 - 3  Croatia   Provisional Standing After Day 1:   1.    3 ------------------ 2.   3 3.   3 4.   0 5.   0 ------------------ 6.   0
    • Few observations from the Globes.   Nikki Glaser had a nice opening monologue, but everything afterwards was bad. Plus i don't know what the make-up people did to her face, but i thought i was watching a wax figure.. But she changed 10 dresses showing us more of her cleavage, so that was a plus i guess.    This was probably not only the worst Globes, but probably one of the worst major award ceremonies in structure and writing... Everything was so awful... - None of the presenter skits worked and many were just cringe; - The weird camera angles, that widened around the presenters completely showed the audience not giving any fucks about what they were saying and some hiding their facepalms even. I was specifically watching in the background, since in these award shows we only get the camera in the presenters face against the screen, so this was new, but i was astonished how little the people were paying attention.    - Not showing barely any clips, or even images from the movies / series (sadly this has become a modern tradition to "save time") - The idiotic showing of the nominees. Not only without images from their performances, but them in a small picture on the side, while the screen was a damn Google Map with an arrow on their placement. Like WHO CARES where they sit in the room, show the person on the full screen... Morons.   About the winners:   - Like pretty much all winners on the movie side, with the exception of Emilia Perez, which i don't like at all and don't think it deserves awards.. - Especially happy for The Brutalist and Fernanda Torres;   - Anora was being hyped so much. Watched it, absolutely hated the first half, picked up greatly in the second, but in the end an above average film 7/10 for me. Not getting anything yesterday was a bit surprising if you'd followed the race, but not saying i'm sorry for it. Madison did a great performance, but her stocks are falling for an Oscars win and she will probably settle for only the Nom.   - Ariana Grande does a nice job in fooling people, that she is a good singer (which she is not) and now that she is a good actress (which she is not). Someone is getting screwed if she gets an Oscars Nom..   - Pissed that they didn't have the DeMille and Burnett awards on the main show, because of "time", but we now have the nonsense Box Office and Stand-Up comedy awards.. Everyone would have preferred a tribute to Davis and Ted Danson with a recap of their careers, rather than 30 minutes of useless stuff.   On the TV side it was pretty much as expected. Stoked for Colin Farrell's win.
