Martin Carrizo qualified in the 1500 freestyle of swimming with a OQT, now we have 190 athletes qualified 

[LDOG 2,418]

And he made a good time, he could be top 16 in Rio with that. He seems to be the only male swimmer in form unfortunately, all others Grabich, Grassi,etc are doing bad this year.

 

 

In other news Lucenti lost places in ranking and it seems we'll have only 2 judocas in Rio  this sport is a disaster, I think in Tokyo we could be without any representation after Pareto and Lucenti retire. I read that the federation doesn't even have a Facebook page

I agree about Carrizo and the swimming, its incredible what happen in Judo, some weeks ago i think in some miracle to have 4......and now we have 2, the only of he "news" with some future may be laffeuillade,i dont know WHY the judo have this big decadence, like you say the Judo and the weightlifting is anothe "misterius" federation, without facebook page and therrible web.

Belen Casetta qualified in the 3000 m steeplechase    , its a big surprise for me.

[LDOG 2,418]

ha, today I read "argentinian record for 3000m broken" and I got excited. Then I saw the new record is 9:42 and  we should put higher standars in all athletics events.

It's so easy to predict argentine athletes. They only win when they are either underdogs or heavy favorites, anything in the middle is always failure
