@Fer GUA Do you know if there's any chance to put an end in this ban to Guatemala until Paris?

It is an issue with their NOC elections and governance. I feel like it could be cleared up before Paris, but this suspension has been applied for a few months now

For Brazil is 8 (3x3 Basketball, Baseball, BMX Freestyle, Field Hockey, Golf, Racquetball, Roller Speed Skating, Softball).

Against all odds, Brazil secured a medal in Baseball, which somewhat makes up for the disappointment of not having won a medal in 3x3 Basketball. But the list of sports we didn't medal is still 8 with Sport Climbing added now (and will be 9 with Breaking). Among the debut sports we only did medal in Skateboarding.

Canada guaranteed a medal in women's beach volleyball, its first ever. Overall first medals since the first edition (Winnipeg 1999)

Legally, is simple, but the Constitutional Court does not want to hear the case again, because it means removing the corrupted current board.  All government has been taken by corruption because they found a gold mine in it. Too sad. Maybe next year when new government takes office in January.

guaranteed a medal

Good day for () and Guatemalan women 1 gold and 2 silvers. 

 

70% of  medals during Santiago 2023 have been won by women, so far.

 

In Santo Domingo 2003 it was 50%, highest for women.

Was curious about Brazil's sudden success in baseball against traditional powerhouses, so I took a glance at their roster. 11 of the 23 players are from Japan. Not to take anything away from the team, but I wonder how they made that work.

Paul  just too good for anyone on the continent. Commanding victories all around.
