Canada barely beat  in the men's team sabre.... embarrassing 

It was a great comeback, though!  Last minute win (I'll take that over a last minute loss....cough cough epee team cough...)

After 3/4 rounds Papineau is in 3rd, one stroke behind the two tied for first (and 3 ahead of 4th).  Women are almost done.  

 

Edit: Now that women are done, Sharpe tied for 3rd, one stroke back of 2nd. First is out of reach pending something crazy.

I believe that Venezuelan is ranked first in the world.

In bowling Hupe has a hold on first 11/16 rounds in. Lavoie with a huge 11th round to jump back into 4th. Top 4 go to the semis tomorrow.

fwiw Yamina is the 2023 Pan American Champ, the Venezuelan finished third (they didn't face each other at the Pan Ams)

12th round doesn’t fare as well for Lavoie.

I don't understand the scoring in trampoline. The Argentine girl just does some simple flips and finishes ahead of Tam doing crazy tricks out there.  Sorry, if you can just do a little flip every jump and score well, what's the point?
