It also happened yesterday in diving. Seems organizers forgot some "minor" details. Now, Gaudio's turn 

Like testing the track Cycling gates and training their volunteers...

No idea, it was just a joke there no such WR registred anywhere but I do remember one (if I´m not wrong) girl once missed 21 out of the 22 gates during her run, she managed to enter correctly only the very first 1st gate but with a 2 sec penalty hit ofc. collecting a total of 1052 penalty seconds in one single run

And if she’s capsizes who know what her score will look like...

Line ups for Canoe Slalom finally unveiled. Surprised to see selected someone else than Evy Laibfarth in the C1, now Ana Satila has the doors open entirely for gold here. In W K1 Leibfarth is in and should win it extremely easily with fingers in her nose.  Interesting choice of also in the M K1 Joshua Joseph, a talented guy, that´s sure but most likely no medal for USA in this event. Rossi vs Goncalves should be the fight for gold and silver. in other hand the M C1 will be clearly the most close event with Lokken, Seb Rossi, Borges and Smedley all capable to win gold in the given day.

Yeah I don’t understand why weren’t running Evy in the C1, but oh well. I’m definitely looking forward to the men’s C1 too, even if a certain American paddler who’s family I’m attending the Olympics with next year isn’t competing...

To be fair, she will compete on her home course on which she trained a lot. I doubt she will collect huge penalties.

I am pretty sure she did it many times. I saw many unexperienced athletes to miss gates, because they crossed them with their heads under the water

Wow Fainberg  

 

So young, yet she looks very severe. Probably the music selection had some part in it, but she's a rising star.

right, but it´s always depend on who will set the track and how difficult track he´ll produce, I can see that at the Panam games level the track will not be so harsh like at the Olympics or WCH finals but still any unusually instaled upstream gate may totally surprise and disturb the whole run even more experienced athletes

Sadly that Rhapsody in Blue didn't end very well.

Mexico into handball semi finals 

 

We'll end up in 4th, but this a young team. Probably next time they could challenge for the medal.
