Got some clarification in BMX

 

The top 9 nations in each nations ranking received 2 spots each. This is not listed in the qualification system at all. What a mess.

 took some losses on the women’s side, but it seems all the other NOCs remain largely unchanged.

 

Still, COPACI making a case for most confusing and poorly written qualification system today.

They are based in Cuba with no English staff. I wonder if something got lost in translation.

 

 gained a second women's quota, even though they have only 1 athlete.

Does anybody know where I can get the directives/rules for the Rhythmic Gymnastics Pan American Championships? On Twitter, a reliable account mentioned that the team event (the most important event for the World Championships, since top 3 teams qualify more than 1 gymnast to Worlds) will count the 8 best scores, but team events usually count the 10 best scores. This changes things quite a lot.

I have no idea. Just last week Brazilian Wrestling posted that we were qualified for the WW 68 category, but after the Americas championship they changed to the WW 50 category.

Looks like some venues are behind schedule. It isn't a Pan Am Games without last minute venue hurdles (including Toronto 2015!)

Behind the scens on canoe slalom quota distribution.

 

42/44 spots have been assigned. 2 remain + 2 wildcards.

 

COPAC has reached out with Pan Am sports to  and to assign the remaining quotas

Nothing yet. I'm surprised they pivoted to an u23 tournament to fill out the quotas.
