In Gymnastics, Rebeca Andrade won't do the AA so Brazil probably not only has lost this medal but also a possible team gold. She's a favourite on Vault and Bars, but has american competition. Hopefully Flavia Saraiva can win a gold in any event.

 

Without Caio Souza, Brazil isn't a favourite in any event on the men's side. Curiously enough, Arthur Nory will compete in AA for the first time in years (he doesn't do Rings), trying to get the Olympic quota.

So indeed Olympic quotas will be given for the gymnastic disciplines?

I think so, at least that's the expectation from Brazilian Gymnastics - to get the only quota available (best AA after and which already qualified a full team). But apparently the 2024 World Cup series has priority over this? Meaning that someone like Zanetti (unlikely) could get a Rings quota and then the Pan American Games spot would go to another nation (assuming Brazil gets this quota, which is already difficult).

Anywhere between 23 and 61 gold

Isn’t Thibeault is the heavy favourite for gold in the women’s 75kg weightclass?

I'll be happy with 20 golds for chile,  a 4th-5th place for Argentina, and the same for Colombia :P (my boyfriend is colombian, I'm so excited for this competition!!)

I wasn’t sold on the diving venue when I saw photos earlier this week, but it does come across nice enough on the broadcast.

Weightlifting entires have been published. 26 NOCs with athletes. 9 and 18 are the lowest and highest number of entries in a weight class.

No, just streaming it looks like.

A nice bit of propaganda from this morning while we wait for the opening ceremony.
