ManuCHIL 116 Posted October 23, 2023 #1054 Share Posted October 23, 2023 4 hours ago, JoshMartini007 said: I suspect with the host nation boost, Chile will be competing with the likes of Argentina, Colombia and Cuba. If not, they should still finish solidly in the top 10. While swimming appears to be a diverse sport given that most nations compete in it, in reality only a handful of nations excel in it. Currently only 5/45 (11%) of medals were won by non-USA/Brazil/Canada nations. In 2019, it was 21/114 (18%) and Argentina accounted for 10 of them. So unless you are planning to compete with Brazil/Canada you don't really need a good swim team to excel. that's it, I think there is no plan to develop swimming as much as I would like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,634 Posted October 23, 2023 #1056 Share Posted October 23, 2023 gets their second gold medal of the Games in water skiing. Ritter nearly jumped out of the marked scoring area. It was still a close battle at the top though. Slalom is generally considered the “big” event I believe, but I always enjoy watching the jump competitions at The World Games and Pan American Games.

Olympian1010 7,634 Posted October 23, 2023 #1059 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The “foot pass” in water ski tricks is wild. I can’t even imagine how much skill that takes. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
