Sweet moment as Varas :CHI guarantees a medal in women’s jump, and swims over to the shore to get an embrace from her family :wub:

 

These Games clearly have a meaning to many athletes.

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

:CHI 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.

The “foot pass” in water ski tricks is wild. I can’t even imagine how much skill that takes.

Me today watching our rowing:

 

Well, in 5 finals, at least can be one gold

 

Two finals without medals after.........well, it can be a podium although it wont be gold

 

Two finals without medals after..........ok, it wont be medals, at least can i pretend to be the boat in the tv screen to the end?

 

 

After the next final with a fourth place very behind the third and not in the TV screen:   mother fu.......!!
