Yes! Dominici won! What an amazing battle for gold, and I'm glad it was Dominici who ended up on the top of the podium. She's the one who was not afraid to risk it all today and I'm sure Argentina must be really proud of her. I'd dare say she's the best female Argentine gymnast ever, and I hope she achieves great heights at the world championships.

Now, about mocking and making fun of gymnasts... I'm 99.99% sure our gymnasts would never, ever do that. They're very professional and supportive, and they are taught to always respect other gymnasts. This unacceptable behavior must have come from Brazilian fans. And, yes, gymnastics fans in Brazil are the worst, as @vinipereira said (thanks for leaving me out of this bunch). I used to be part of many groups about artistic gymnastics on Facebook, but the behavior of other fans was so toxic I left all of them and decided to follow the sport on my own. I apologize for the behavior of other fans, and I can assure you the gymnasts, and true fans, like me, love and support Argentine gymnasts (and all other gymnasts).

Time to celebrate! Congratulations to Dominici! I'm really, really happy for her! :clap::champion: Parabéns!

Anyone know why Argentina won bronze and not Bolivia in this event? https://www.cochabamba2018.bo/torneo/esquema/4/torneo/311

 

Even though the site doesn't show, I think all Karate events have a bronze medal repechage, where the losing semifinalists face the quarterfinalists who lost to one of the two finalists.

 

I don't know if I'm making myself clear, but I think it's similar to the Taekwondo Olympic competition format.

Looks like there was a last minute cancellation of dressage, so only show jumping will be held. Only one familiar name in the entries: :URU Martin Rodriguez Vanni. :d

I never listen ANY of the names of our jumping team.

    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He chances the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for smal/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
