Women’s groups seem pretty balanced... IMO, any group in team sports which features Peru is the "easiest" group. Again, I'm glad mexico at least will win one match in both water polo competitions. konig and thiago_simoes 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. mrv86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From all team sports, Mexico only has a real chance to medal in women's football and softball, with very outside possibilities for men's volleyball, softball & basketball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,073 Posted May 15, 2019 #514 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Spoke with Swimming, they had an athlete training in Europe but he is not ready to compete in Lima unfortunately, it would have marked their Pan Am sport debut. Their pool on the island was destroyed by a hurricane and now they will fundraise to get that fixed and hopefully he will compete in the future!

It's a requirement for them to get a universality quota at the Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshMartini007 2,130 Posted May 16, 2019 #520 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Not too surprised, skateboarding was always going to struggle to find athletes, that's what happens when you include a niche sport that doesn't have a proper governing body to host international events until recently.
