Well, I must say that two gold medals in wrestling is not something common for us (and one of them in men's freestyle!!!!), even at the South American level. So I'm satisfied.

Hein already with a SA junior record in the heat of 200IM  very close to the senior record of Maranhão.

Two gold medals for  Agostina Hein with two new (senior) south american records!

 

8:22:01 in 800 FR and 2:10:82 in 200 IM.

I think we could realistically be in every boxing final here.

 

But some idiot got too provocative during the fight and got knocked out.  Well, he's young, so let him take it as experience.

She made 54-something in the 100 FR mixed relay. Would've also won the gold in the individual 100m contested earlier in the session had she entered it.

I'm surprised by the gymnastics here. Colombia clearly doesn't care, and Brazil and Argentina are terrible.

Ayala Arellano  with a superb sprint to win the men's road race.  (Dourado Da Silva and Silva Areujo Gomes) had perfect positioning the final u-turn before the finish, but Ayala Arellano had the better kick.
