Many people are criticizing this but for me is great news: after yet another disappointing year the women's hockey team will change coach and the "god of hockey" a.k.a. "chapa" Retegui will take over the team again  hopefully this will be the end of all bullshit going on in this team and we can dream with medals once more.

How? There is only 20 places (-1 for Japan, -1 for tripartite) and she isn't close to be top 18 in the world.

Isn´t there a continental qualifying championship? She won silver last year at the PanAm. I´m not saying she will qualify, but if a couple of american climbers win quotas in the intercontinental qualifiers, she has a shot.

@konig with -almost- one month to go I give my final medal prediction for the argentinian chances at the pan american games. I have no idea of our current level in Speed Skating and Water ski so I left them with "?" marks here, though I know there should be medals in both sports, especially in water ski with Ditsch, De armas and Giorgis.

 

What do you think? (please don't quote this big post).

 

EDITED July 2nd after some team announcements from other countries.
