South American Games 2022

I don’t follow international handball too much outside of various multi-sports games, but the women’s side in South America seems pretty open behind Brazil.  all registered relatively close results in games against each other, or at least there didn’t seem to be a more dominant side following Brazil. Any thoughts/analysis from our South American users, or those more knowledgeable on handball? Trying to figure out if  getting the Pan Am quota is a surprise.

We're playing with a B team (no players from european clubs).

 

CHI/PAR/URU are all around the same level. They seem to beat each other alternatively all the time.

Today is one of the days with the most clear gold medal chances for  I believe (probably together with the following day). 

 

The two "easiest" golds (men's hockey and K1 1000) and quite a few others that will be very contested.

If Trinidad qualifies next year at the 2023 CAC games, Peru will sneak in as the last women's field hockey team at the 2023 Pan American Games, even though they finished last here.

 

Perks of competing at the Pan American Cup!

@thiago_simoes some comments on the women's gymnastics competition?

Everything was more or less according to what I expected. We had a "mixed" team, with Carolyne, Júlia and Christal from our A team, and Beatriz, Thais and Lu Maia from our B team. Only Carolyne and Júlia got individual medals. I expected medals for Thais on bars and Lu Maia on beam too, especially because the level of the competition was not high at all, but the B team only proved why they are the B team and got no medals.

Wonder what happens if both Mexico and Trinidad & Tobago men's teams qualify through the CAC Games since there won't be any more teams at the Pan Am Cup.

 

Probably to the highest ranked nation via the world rankings (which would currently go to Peru). Of course, T&T finishing top two isn't guaranteed. Cuba tends to show up to the CAC Games.

The next best ranked team at the Pan Am challenge I would assume, but WR probably makes more sense.

Wow Brazil fails to qualify any men in open water swimming for Santiago 2023.
