Yeah, don't take this wrong way, I like and respect your opinions.

 

I do support true policies from the left, especially in countries where inequality is a fact. Hard to find these days, even in first world countries. Seems true sense of civic and collective duty is almost dead.

 

However, Boric threw so much praise at the militaristic narco regime in Mexico, so I consider him an idiot.

I feel like he's said a lot. There's enough to make half the world happy and the other half extremely pissed off.

The single worst Basketball match I've have ever seen in my entire life.

I totally agree. At this point, just send both teams home and give the gold medal to Argentina. They've done more than both of these teams have.

wins 50-40 in the women's Basketball final. Really bad numbers throughout (32% field goals for Brazil and 22% for Colombia).

I would agree, but somehow Brazil managed to beat Argentina yesterday, so...

Ecuadorian sports experienced an extremely successful day yesterday. 5 medals including an unusual statistical anomaly, with medals won in the same events among genders, 2 Golds in M Road Race & M 20km Race Walk, while 2 Silvers in W Road Race & W 20km Race Walk

 

Funny enough both golds, although they were among the expected ones, were not won by the most expected faces like Richard Carapaz and Brian Pintado, but by the so-called "others" Jonathan Narvaez and David Hurtado.

 

As already mentioned both silvers came from the exactly same events, among Ladies, with probably the most emotional medal of the games for team Myriam Nuňez who dedicated in tears the medal to her grandfather who passed away last days and Glenda Morejon in Race Walk, once again, probably the least expected to medal from the 3 Ecuadorian entries in the discipline.

 

Later another one, this time a Bronze joy completed a very successful day for Ecuador, with Judoka Celinda Coroza earning bronze in the up to 70kg class.

 

 

4 - 7 - 12

Yes, you are rigth about that for the schedule but i dont remember a situation like this, with this particular schedule.

Don't know what can do anymore other than win gold medals in unexpected events. They have a chance today with Surfing.
