It will depend also on how much Cuba and Venezuela are prepare to win the medals. Also Chile is their direct opponent at Pan American level.
Next year Bolivarian Games are scheduled in Guayaquil will see.
I think that in Italy she wouldn't even get the chance to start in the World Cup in her condition. We have much more restrictive regulations than other countries, which has its advantages and disadvantages. In her case, it would probably be better to stop for a while, instead of starting and withdrawing.
Vittozzi will not return until the New Year. This definitely means the end of her chances to defend the World Cup. This season has started badly for us and the absence of Vittozzi only intensifies this impression. Only Wierer's improving form is some kind of positive.

For Scotty James
Has been around for many years now and is much loved here in Australia and obviously has incredible talent.
World champs wins, X games wins, an Olympic silver and bronze but he is just missing that elusive Olympic gold.
I am looking forward to seeing how he goes again as I can’t think of another athlete in my country who is more deserving right now. 🙂
