I remember tickets in Guadalajara 2011 weren't expensive for me; but again, I earn above the average Mexican, yet compared to other parts of the world, my degree is not paid the way it should. Medicine is super expensive here, so . That’s why we pay you the big bucks over at Totallympics Media . “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I know medicine is quite expensive in USA, ridiculous even, just like what you pay for fast food (that in comparison to other countries) Well to put in context. The minimum wage approved by Mexican Congress for this year is around $5.25 USD a day, and there are millions of workers earning just that. A sad reality, that is the origin/result of other problems in a sad misery circle vinipereira and Olympian1010 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 5,638 Posted August 4, 2019 #1773 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I think the tennis venue is amazing!! It blends in nicely with the city, is quite simple. This is what venues should be like, and not over the top. mrv86, Olympian1010 and OlympicIRL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 14,822 Posted August 4, 2019 #1774 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Evy Leibfarth winning the W K1 by 10 seconds. That´s just ridiculous all in all perfectly predictable results, the M C1 being the most open, with all medalists within 1 second. No Leibfarth in W C1 = no competition for Satila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They bring back good memories. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
