For anyone who thought the swimming medal ceremonies disrupted the rhythm of the session, I highly recommended viewing track cycling. It has murdered, buried, and grieved the rhythm of this session

Juan Tafur is 70 years old. Extraordinary to see 70 years young eventer competing at this level.

Olympic Qualifiers (My predictions in brackets) - 9 (8) - 5 (4) - 3 (5) - 3 (4) - 2 (2) - 2 (1) - 2 (1) - 1 (1) - 1 (1) - 1 (1) -1 (1) -0 (1) I'll probably do a more detailed breakdown after the finals tomorrow but Brazil go top of the global qualifiers standings after continental stage which just whatever ridiculous number Australia get to come. ( Brazil-9, China/ France-7, Turkey-6, Ireland/ USA/ Algeria-5). USA just about salvaged a solid total with that Josh Edwards win against Fernando Arzola which also condemned Cuba to what must be their worst ever panamerican games boxing performance. Also if anyone cares I broke 60% on my qualifying predictions 20/30 (66%) and a miraculous 14/16 on the womens side of things and I kinda think I was unlucky to not get a couple more. It's bizarre how much easier predicting these becomes when there are less entries.

I turned off the beach volleyball after a 9-12 score in favour of the Brazilians, switch back M/B are up 14-12, and I see 3 straight points from Brazil. Ill see myself out

2 gold in 2 mins!

Gold for Wyatt!

Martínez throws away the gold medal with three misses in the final round. However, he does qualify for the Olympic Games. Assuming he’s chosen by Venezuela, it will be only his second appearance at the Olympics after *check notes* Los Angeles 1984 He won his only other medal at the Pan American Games 40 years ago in Caracas.

Tammara Thibeault wins gold in women’s 75kg boxing, after a 5-0 victory over Panama’s Athena Bylon!

B-Boys has 37 entrants, 30 from , 5 from and 1 each from B-Girls has 15 entrants, 13 from and 2 from Based on the pre-selection rounds it looks like will be the favourites to win both quotas.

I think he thought you were talking about Cuba. About Chile: I also think they have good chances in Golf.

Tomorrow 4 solid chances for gold: Both boxers, men's team pursuit and Melissa/Brandie in beach volleyball. Other chances: Mixed pistol pairs, Keirin men, Madison men and women (who had the smart idea of scheduling the madison with the team pursuit)? And the 5x30 rifle event for men, if Ikeda and Sych perform to their potential, both should make the final.

with a medal in women’s volleyball for the first time since 1975

Starying these threads early so I don’t have to do them later

Mr. Brightside doesn’t get the same reception in Santiago as it got in Birmingham last summer

Calling disasters like the hurricane in Mexico or the earthquake in Morocco or floods in Libya 'punishment from God' is some nice old-school medieval thinking. Life was simple, back in the year 1400, when people didn't know stuff yet.

Gold in the team pursuit!

2 gold medals for Canada in 2 mins! Men's team pursuit and Wyatt Sanford (boxing)

Less surprises on the women's 1.500m. Groenewoud (5th at World Championships), Kiel (surprising 2nd place, making her World Cup debut at age 27), Rijpma-de Jong (reigning World Champion), Beune (6th last year in the final World Cup standings) and Wijfje (back after a poor season) qualified for the first World Cups. Only one smaller surprise: Irene Schouten finished in 8th place, one spot behind 16-year old 6x junior World Champion (1.000m, 1.500m, mass start, team pursuit, team sprint & allround) Angel Daleman. Last year Schouten also finished in 8th spot at the qualification tournament, but that was after she took it a little easier during the summer, following her 3 Olympic gold medals in Beijing.

Rebecca Marino advances to the semifinals in women’s singles tennis after defeating Colombia’s Yuliana Lizarazo 7-5, 4-6, 6-3. One win away from a Paris berth!

The Dutch qualifications for the first four World Cups started about 1.5 hours ago and already some big surprises. The 5.000m for men just finished. Patrick Roest won the 5k, which is no surprise as he's the reigning World Champion. However, the other skaters who qualified for the first four World Cups are Chris Huizinga, Jesse Speijers (21 years old), Marwin Talsma, and Gert Wierda (21 years old). This means the following guys are out: Jorrit Bergsma (4x silver medalist at World Championships over 5.000m), finished in 10th place Beau Snellink (last year's World Cup winner over 5.000m and 10.000m), finished in 9th place Marcel Bosker (5th at the 2023 World Championships on the 5.000m), finished in 6th place

Winter is here Well sort of, but looking forward to tomorrow's opening. Also, apparently Lukas Braaten has announced retirement, because of some stupid dispute with the Norge federation.

I can probably help out with the draw

In fact, November 1st is also All Saints Day in Mexico, which has a more Catholic religious element, and in recent times, the commemoration is dedicated to children, while proper Day of the Dead is November 2nd, originally also with religious tones mixed with pre Hispanic rituals in rural and indigenous communities, which have turned (thanks to James Bond & Disney) into a more carnival type of festival in big cities, like a Carmen Miranda Halloween special.

Aaaaaaand Canada crashes in the Keirin. Hope she's ok. Edit: Madison, not Keirin.

I don't mind participating again. I'll also have my votes with you in a few hours.

I think so, as they've already been reinstated

Top 10 After Day 6 Nations Gold Silver Bronze Total 1. United States 59 40 40 139 2. Mexico 30 15 25 70 3. Canada 29 24 30 83 4. Brazil 14 25 27 66 5. Colombia 6 11 12 29 6. Chile 5 12 11 28 7. Dominican Republic 4 4 4 12 8. Cuba 3 4 6 13 9. Argentina 2 10 10 22 10. Ecuador 2 4 9 15 Only nine events awarded medals today so things were relatively quiet. In fact, the United States did not win a single gold medal today. Mexico had the best day, winning 4/9 events and moving back into second. Additionally, the Dominican Republic moved ahead of Cuba thanks to their victory in women's indoor volleyball.

Brazil is now what Cuba used to be in Boxing Cuba with only 3 finals, will hurt a lot their chances for going up in the standings but Cuba could get a boost when wrestling, judo and athletics start Mexico with 2 finals, impressive! and two olympic spots.

Total 13 quotas- 11 quotas- 7 quotas- 6 quotas- 5 quotas- 4 quotas- 3 quotas- 2 quotas- 1 quota-

After end of Day 16 I will come back to square one and try to do sth like this (with my prediction updates)... Or i won't do that because I won't have time or I will get bored with this thread, who knows... Day 1 Sat 27.07 1. DIVING - W Synchro 3m Springboard 1. China Q 2. United States 3. Great Britain Q 4. Italy Q 5. Mexico 6. Canada 7. Australia 8. France Q Similar results to 2023 WCH, but this time USA will be able to repeat their qualifying score in the final

9 in 13 categories, that's awesome. We are going to Worlds Tournament with only 4 athletes, and I think 2 or 3 of them have good chances

on its way to an easy gold medal in women's Volleyball.

Really hoping Scarlett Delgado and Charlie Cavanaugh can qualify through the WOQT.

Good day for Brazil with 6 golds!

Thanks for your concern, and fortunately, neither me nor my friends or family, live near Acapulco. What’s sad is that this is one of the states that is a stronghold for MORENA, the governing “welfare leftist” party, which just a month ago suppressed and took all the money from the federal fund for disasters because “it wasn’t necessary”, when in reality it is being funneled into the presidential campaign of the president’s dauphine, same woman who in her previous two government posts did nothing during the 2017 Mexico City earthquake and the collapse of the “metro” lines two years later.

Chile is actually underperforming a bit, right?

Final : -

big big surprise. Bahrain beat Qatar in the semifinal and they did it without two of their best players (one got injured early and the other one received a direct red card in the 1st half) history repeated once again, 4 years ago Bahrain also defeated Qatar in the SF. if I'm not wrong that was the only defeat of this Qatar team (World selection team) under Valero Rivera in an Asian competition.
