Diving at the Pan American Games 2019

Canada had superior execution, but Mexico had higher difficulty.  It was close in the end, but congrats to :wMEX::wCAN::wUSA:

 

Exactly. Had the judges penalize Mexico as they should in round three and five, then medals could have end very different. That last dive from Mexico was terrible, it was like they just threw it all to the wind, and pray jduges just give them the gold.

Too lenient execution judging, especially for the "minor" teams.

 

Yes. I don't get how the scoring system works. I know the judges are free to score the dives, but some attempts were absolutely terrible and still got 7 and 8 marks. How is this possible? I've tried to enjoy diving all my life, but the Pan Ams always show how insane this sport is in terms of scoring. I'll stick with gymnastics.

Hilarious, they play "Shake it off" after Hixon's dive after he missed the one the round before.  :d

Well, it's the form of the sound control guy to show his support.

 

Meanwhile after Morales & Capobianco meltdown in round 3, there are great chances for Gagné and Knight Wisdom to end with the Olympic quota :thumbup:

As I said last night, they should play Canadian songs after the Canadians as they are with the Americans (heard "Born in the USA" earlier, for example).  The only Canadian song they played was Informer by Snow, but it was after the Dominican guy.  They did play Call Me Maybe at the baseball field, though.  :d

 

Cheering for Knight-Wisdom, and Gagne of course.

Glad Gagne is still in 1st, but he's going to have to do much better to stay there.  Still anyone in the top 7's gold.  

 

I was checking the dive list... that 3.1 in this round won't favour him much, with Knight-Wisdom, Celaya and Restrepo on the hunt.

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
    • Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
    • In rugby there's More Squidge Rugby (the main channel has proper videos).
