I guess? It wasn't shown anywhere I couldn’t find a single channel showing artistic skating today or yesterday. Big change from 2019. Scheduling definitely screwed those athletes over in terms of exposure. vinipereira and konig 2 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

vinipereira 3,079 Posted November 5, 2023 #1662 Share Posted November 5, 2023 hits the 200 medals mark with a gold in men's Football. While I'm happy (a gold is a gold), it's kinda sad lost this title at home (worse: on penalties). I still remember the our Rio 2016 gold medal - even though I'm not the biggest Football fan, it was one of the most celebrated moments by brazilian people.

vinipereira 3,079 Posted November 5, 2023 #1663 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Only 1 day to go and 24 medal events left. I'm curious to see some final positions in the medal table. Seems like 3rd place is between and , while 7th place will be or . Don't know how many gold chances they have left. Also interesting is the fight for the top 10. It seems like is safe and will fight for 10th place. konig and Josh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexico should easily take third, Basque Pelota has 3 finals tomorrow, that sport is the difference between and Canada has the following chances tomorrow: Men's bowling singles Men's golf Men's team table tennis Women's squash team I think only the first 2 have a realistic shot, and with just 2 golds Canada would have its best ever non-home performance. vinipereira and Josh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when i told you that Brazil will be the second country in the medal table and you think it will be Canada? Tomorro, Argentina has 2 finals in Basque Pelota and in squash, with some chances of golds in another sports......i dont see Chile winning the seventh place. Surprising how good performance has Peru and the bad performance of Venezuela vinipereira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argentina is favourite to take the two golds to Mexico en Basque Pelota tomorrow, the male duo is seventh time world champion (for example) Josh and intoronto 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with you, for that reason i say to vini and the others users that Canada will be third (i really dont think Mexico can be third) for what you describe, only USA can not sending their best athletes without any consequence. intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,292 Posted November 5, 2023 #1669 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Yeah, Canada finishing behind Brazil was expected given the team (even the A team isn't that much better than Brazil IMO). Mexico impressed me a lot more. In 2019 Mexico beat Canada because we kept falling short of gold (we had 35 golds and 65 silvers). This time we step up with a better distribution and they were good to counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,218 Posted November 5, 2023 #1670 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Are non Olympic sports getting axed for 2027? And what about non olympic events (like some classes in sailing or handing out golds for every apparatus is RG)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
