Would be historic if it happens. Maybe 8 if Uruguay can qualify in football. Time for Bolivia and Paraguay to step up A Paraguayan man won this year's South American marathon championships. I'm not sure what are his chances in a global event, but let's hope he can challenge for a top 10 finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to never invest in sports, and they haven't performed well even in football. Bolivia, on the other hand, apparently invests big money (well, as much as they can, at least) in a number of sports. Still, I see no chance for an Olympic medal for Bolivia anytime soon, unfortunately, but they are on the right track. Paraguay is not even close.

They have a decent runner, some decent golfers, some decent tennis players, a decent table tennis athlete, and some decent rowers. Bolivia has race walkers, marathoners, and racquetball players. That’s it. I do agree they are showing improvement though. The continent as a whole is in my opinion. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Probably 3 out of the 4 relays. There is a chance in both shot puts. Maybe 200 women. Maybe 400 women but probably not. 110 hurdles no. 100 hurdles maybe but harrison lose in the big finals.
