JoshMartini007 2,242 Posted July 30, 2019 #1431 Share Posted July 30, 2019 It could happen, Mexico has been making good on its chances. There's still a lot to go and it could end up coming down to how many gold medals does the United States deny Brazil/Canada or how many golds does Cuba win in boxing. mrv86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I also think swimming will make a big difference. Mexico is not expected to win any gold medals (or even maybe any medal at all) in swimming, so this sport could define which nation will jump to second place. mrv86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intoronto 4,355 Posted July 31, 2019 #1435 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Mostly disappointment for Canada so far, but that was to be expected with a lot of b teams. I am surprised and happy to see Canada is third in overall medals. mrv86 and konig 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,355 Posted July 31, 2019 #1436 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The baseball venue is amazing!! I have to say the best one at the Pan AMs in history. They are also playing baseball music as well. konig and NearPup 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no chance of gold in swimming, and curiously, prospects in diving don't look good either. I think Mexico can be between 25 and 30 gold medals and challenge Canada for the 4th position. But in all honesty, I think we'll just fend off Colombia for fifth. Among our "secure" medals are racquetball and basque pelota, which should give us around 6-8 more golds, between them. But besides that, our major hopes are women team archery, women trampoline gymnastics, track cycling, group rhythmic gymnastics and that's all.

Thanks for the confidence, these past days have been great, but it probably be a good 5th in the end, and a new record in medals, both gold and total, outside Mexican soil.
