Panama  is doing really well. 

Yeah, it would have been “crazy talk” to say they’d win a gymnastics all-around gold medal just a few years ago.

It was streamed on here yesterday: https://centrocaribesports.org/ccs-channel/

 

I don’t know if that’s available in Europe though…

 

Eventing was broadcast as well, including the cross country portion, which was a nice surprise to me.

A true act of Fair Play and personal greatness of Cuban Laina Pérez 

 

As @Olympian1010 and @JoshMartini007 were aware, the current CACSO Games rules doesn't allow for a podium sweep in any event; so in women's 10m air pistol after being awarded the bronze medal by the local organizers, Mexican shooter Alejandra Cervantes was asked to give the prize to Pérez, as two other Mexican shooters finished 1-2.

 

And as soon as Pérez received her medal, she took it off her and gave it back unoficially to Cervantes, as she told that rules weren't made by athletes" and she should keep what she fairly won.

I think they have a large enough buffer for the team technical (and maybe highlight if that also counts) to be okay.
