We used to joke about Brazil at the Olympics calling it "Bronzil" given the high number of bronze medals we won compared to the others. Now at the Pan American Games maybe we should change to "Pratil" because the number of silver (prata) medals have been far too much.

 

Spoiler

Maybe one day we'll finally be "Ouril"... :pope:

Anyone else feel like the pacing of the swim sessions has been reeeeeeeallly slow? One B + A final (including long introductions) followed by 10 minutes of medal ceremonies

Going to take a break from this site for a bit. See you guys soon!

That's the downside of having B finals, which are not as exciting as the semifinals we have in world competitions.

I've been following along on the live scores and its excruciatingly slow.

In the Brazilian transmission they explained that. The organization decided to prolong the gap between the events, giving some time to make the processes in a good way

I find it really hard to follow the all-around competition when I’m even the slightest bit tired. There’s just too much going on in that event.

I honestly didn't understand what happened in Flavia Saraiva's floor performance... :question:

She's visibly tired, I'm glad they didn't put Rebeca in AA, it could have been a disaster.

 

Anyway, while this was happening, Brazil won a bronze medal in Diving, which is great since I thought we would leave empty-handed in this sport :yes
