I’m not sure about some these program quotas decisions. All these combat sports having nine athletes per event will make the draw wonky. Plus, it seems like sports/events are just being added or subtracted arbitrarily here and there (as in there doesn’t seem to be a common thread or logic to it.)

Synchro makes sense as no athletes added. Softball men's being dropped also makes sense as all other non Olympic sports saw cuts.

The weirdest part for me is: add or cut events for a event like that, during the qualification process.

 

Breaking, for instance, wouldnt tske part on it, and suddenly it is in, and also the event will be used as qualifier to the Olympics.

 

They should have established exactly all the events a long time ago

I think the event program was decided long ago, but news is just trickling in. Sadly PASO/Panamsports is really bad in communicating stuff like this, even though their communication for the last two cycles has improved

Found the complete Santiago 2023 Qualification manual on the Pan Am sports website.

 

Untitled - Qualification-System-Manual.pdf

This confirms the information I listed above.

 

There is no tennis listed. Weird.

 

Roller speed skating has 8 events now. Extra 2 gold to Colombia.

 

Golf mixed team appears to have been dropped.

You’re right. Tennis isn’t in the manual. And neither is racquetball. :(

    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
