21 out of 42 total medals in artistic gymnastics for Brazil, 10 of which were gold medals. I guess it was a good competition for us.

Brazil won the mixed relay in triathlon, and thus qualifies one male and one female for Lima 2019.

Brazil's golden sports (Artistic Gymnastics/Swimming) have ended today and we're only 5 golds ahead of Colombia. The next days will be interesting, but I think Colombia has the upper hand with Track Cycling just starting.

Interesting. But I'm hopeful for more gold medals: in rhythmic gymnasts, we won 61 out of 63 possible gold medals at the South American championships from 2010 to 2017, and we are expected to win all 8 gold medals here. This must help.

I have a doubt: the technical regulations state that each tournament will only be competed with a minimum of five different countries. Only four nations sent teams for women's volleyball. Will it really award medals?

I think so. The Women's +78kg in Judo also have only 4 nations and they awarded medals. (unless the rule for individual events is different)

BTW, I think they cancelled the Women's Water Polo tournament prior to the Games because it had only 3 nations, so maybe the new rule to have a competition is 4.
