Diego Hypólito has won 69 medals at different World Cup stages according to his Instagram page, so imagine how rich he would have been if he lived in India. That's insane It is also 470,000 usd more than what our government gave for a gold medal in rio 2016. konig and thiago_simoes 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a competition of this level, I think the prize money is more than enough. I bet most medalists from other nations received a big 0 for their performances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinipereira 3,053 Posted June 9, 2018 Author #314 Share Posted June 9, 2018 After the successful organization of the South American Games, Cochabamba will bid for the 2027 Pan American Games. After 2 editions in South America (Lima 2019 and Santiago 2023), I think Cochabamba can only win the right to host if no city from North or Central America is a candidate. thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,199 Posted June 9, 2018 #315 Share Posted June 9, 2018 They are in no way prepared to host a panamerican games. Would be a big step back in terms of standards for odepa to give it to them. intoronto and Olympian1010 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look likely unless Mexico steps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many athletes suffered a lot during this competition - one brazilian swimmer almost passed out in a event and some table tennis athletes were vomiting. For a competition that act as Olympic qualification for many sports, this isn't ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
