Kimberly Garcia won the women's 20km Race Walk with a WR time of 1:12:26. In fact, 12 athletes did better than the previous world record...

 

Except that the was a mistake in the course and they didn't actually walk for 20km  They'll correct for the men's race, which was postponed by 1 hour.

Really? Someone find the imbeciles who had 6 years to measure the length of a 1k loop and failed miserably.

We have now reached the midway point of the Pan American Games. Let's take a look on how nations are performing relative to 2019. Of the 197 events completed, 175 were also held in 2019 (with some minor weight adjustments in boxing). Here's a table ranking how much better (or worse) a nation is performing.

doesn't seem to be having a great home Games, which is surprising. Even managed to greatly increase the number os gold medals won in 2019 (11) compared to 2015 (3).

Meltdown for Satila in women’s C1. Fortunately, she still advances to the final

Course seems so hard + rainy and windy weather. Maybe we'll have some suprises in the finals.

What an embarrassment. How is this even possible?

The women's C1 only had one person in the semis which went through all the gates.

And why did the referee didn’t stop the race after the first lap, when it was obvious the course was 200m short?

Or just…I don’t know…add four laps

This might be the first time I’ve seen swimmers lapped in open water swimming.
