intoronto 4,202 Posted October 31, 2022 #231 Share Posted October 31, 2022 @SindoCanada vs USA in women's handball series is on Nov 10 and Nov 13. Total aggregate advances. The men usually also compete, but won't this time (or in a different series). I think this means Canada chose not to enter a men's team but not 100% on that.

intoronto 4,202 Posted November 1, 2022 #234 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Pan Am women's softball championships are in mid November, top 6 qualify (USA and Chile have already qualified). The tournament is being held in Guatemala, but no participation from them? Weird. ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted November 1, 2022 #237 Share Posted November 1, 2022 @intoronto appreciate the previews of upcoming qualifiers. It would be nice to get a calendar similar to one we keep for the Olympics. I’d like to follow along more. intoronto 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Excluding Colombia, the quotas will provisionally go to . Peru is clearly trying to keep their eventing afloat after LIma 2019. Ecuador has individual talent but once again they are not sending teams who could have qualified. It's weird how they sent their absolute best in dressage for the Bolivarian Games (including USA-based Julio Mendoza and his top horse), but they did no such thing for the much more consequential South American Games. Shame. From what I have read during the South American Games, it sounds like the roads in South America are really, really bad. So it's hardly a surprise that people are not traveling 4000 km from Peru to Campo de Mayo for this event.

It's weird how they sent their absolute best in dressage for the Bolivarian Games Surprising as the Bolivarian Games are sort of a fourth tier games any fourth rate city can host. Bust as you said, maybe is the cost and difficulty of traveling in the American Continent in general, which is even geographically impossible to do so by road. Now talking about the roads I can attest that the ones in Chile and Uruguay were in better shape than those of Mexico 8 years ago, and same can be said of the streets in Buenos Aires compared to almost every city in country. As for Peru, outside the nice parts in Lima (which is easily the place with the worst transit in Latin America), the rest of the roads were indeed crappy. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
