Central American and Caribbean Games 2023

Their federation has so much egg on their face it’s actually funny. I know money is tight in these smaller programs, but the women’s team continues to shine. They should be rewarded for their excellence performances, not told the coffers are dry because money went to the men’s team.

Groters  wins the first gold medal for his NOC

De Lara  and Schreuders  look to have tied for the first shared gold medal of the Games. De Lara had a better move to the wall that made up the few milliseconds Schreuders had on him. 
 

It looks like they will share the Games Record as well

Curacao is doing really well in the baseball tournament, I wonder if they will allow them to compete at the Pan Ams (under Aruba ofc)

 

I wish Pan Am Sports would all those extra 'territories' to compete as well

It might be more difficult for PanamSports to include them since the Pan American Games have become a major Olympic qualification event. I really like the Centro Caribe Sports has opened the door to their teams though.

 came back to beat  in a close second semifinal. It means the gold medal match will be a replay of the pool play match between  and

 

It went to overtime then, but I think the favorites are still

I thought El Salvador  was going to be doing better than just those 4 medals so far. 20 years ago when they hosted as well, they had athletes winning silver and bronze in almost all sports. Hope they increase medals starting today. 

 

Panama  is doing really well.

 have to play back-to-back games in baseball today because of the rescheduling. It’s going to be a long day for those players.
