vinipereira 3,118 Posted August 7, 2019 Author #1931 Share Posted August 7, 2019 So apparently Argentina lost its women's basketball match against Colombia because they went with the wrong uniform color (blue, instead of white). As they lost the first match, they're now eliminated. What the actual fuck??? intoronto, hoversaBR, mrv86 and 2 others 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid sport to have at the Pan Ams, with a stupid venue (really, anything made of glass should be far, far away from any playing field). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted August 7, 2019 #1934 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Bolivia just can't get a gold medal at the Pan Ams, not even in Racquetball. I've lost all hope in a gold medal for Bolivia and Paraguay, and a medal at all for Aruba, for that matter (unless something crazy happens in sailing, or maybe even in swimming).

People seemed super concerned for his well being (I believe he ended up finishing the match). I’ve never seen that before and the commentator sounded like he hadn’t either. It’s one of the dangers of the sport though. I used to play on outdoor courts and now I’m glad I did. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

It's clear that in this instance, it was a thin layer of glass that you'd find on the entrance of most squash or racquetball courts.

It was extremely close to being dropped (along with roller sports) at Toronto 2015, as the OC was looking ways to cut costs. I'd imagine if it did, there would be no racquetball here as well thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t want to build a stadium, have the road events instead (I think that’s what Toronto 2015 actually did). All you need is convention center like place for Artistic Skating and a few roads for Speed. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
