LDOG 2,199 Posted July 13, 2019 #761 Share Posted July 13, 2019 hace 22 minutos, Olympian1010 dijo: So what sports will we see A (top) level athletes competing in (like a majority of A level athletes)? I guess all except swimming, artistic gymnastics, surf, basketball, football, volleyball, beach volleyball, road cycling, men baseball, tennis and golf. In athletics, rowing and canoeing it's only USA and Canada not taking the best but they are the dominant countries in those sports. thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In artistic gymnastics, only the US will not send their best gymnasts. In women's artistic, Biles will miss the event, but the other gymnasts are either from their A or B team, so the level will be good. In men's artistic gymnastics all of the guys are relatively unknown, but they seem to be decent. The other teams will be the best of the best.

Yes, but there are many injuries from top level gymnasts I think? I say it's not a great competition at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvo, Gonzales, Andrade and Moreno will be missed, but the level will still be high even without them. By the way, has Molinari retired? I hope he hasn't. All I want from this event if for him to earn a medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,233 Posted July 14, 2019 #765 Share Posted July 14, 2019 lost two triathletes too injury (including Flora Duffy)... there goes their best (and possible only chance) at a medal. Olympian1010 and mrv86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the surf event may see some pretty good level competition (at least at the Pan Am level) from my understanding. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,474 Posted July 15, 2019 #770 Share Posted July 15, 2019 ESPN will offer major coverage (maybe even full?) of the games!!! I’m so excited that they’re finally taking this event seriously. I can’t wait to watch with my fellow American fans @bmo @dezbee2008 @catgamer @Rdbc @Maxim Fastovsky NearPup, Rdbc, dezbee2008 and 2 others 3 2 “Sport has the power to change the world.
