I'll be cheering for Brazil live at the finals on saturday. That was an incredible semifinal vs Italy! Carol's blocking is insane

how to kill once and forever the already declining interest for the Games... the Olympic are the Olympics also (maybe, mainly) because they have so many sports all together at the same time in the same place... having multiple host, split program or making them too long (or too short) would only meke them worse...

In other news, the South American games medallists will earn money: $UY 60,000 (US$ 1,500) for a gold, $UY 20,000 for a silver, and $UY 12,000 for a bronze. Teams will share twice the money (so $UY 13,000 each for the 8+1 rowing gold team). The current 33 medals are worth $UY 1.3 million (US$ 32,000).

The Uruguay women's football team got the silver medal, after defeating Argentina 5-1 (!!!) and Colombia 2-0, then winning over Venezuela on penalty shootouts. Brazil didn't enter, but it's an unprecedented result anyway. The Uruguay men's football team was fourth (Brazil also didn't enter). The Uruguay women's hockey team got the bronze, after losing to Argentina 1-0 and drawing Chile 0-0 (they went to the final with a higher aggregate goals). Uruguay now has 6 gold medals (all in rowing), 13 silvers and 14 bronzes, for a total 33 medals.

lost to in the quarterfinals of women’s team squash. I knew it was unlikely they’d get the quota here, but I’d like to see them qualify for Santiago 2023 at some point. Women’s squash and table tennis are arguably their strongest sports at the moment, but the team aspect of qualification in both sports might make it difficult them to qualify

So is Olympic runner-up Olena Starikova . Surprisingly so Emma Hinze only managed the 6th time of the qualifying round, not that it would take the favorite status away from her but the title is not awarded yet. I would give Van Riessen the edge over Grabosch.

Here is a little more info about the Polish situation. Also, there is some more info on the RBU election. Article 1 - "The head of the Biathlon Federation of Transbaikalia says that Tikhonov persuaded him to vote for Maigurov" Article 2 - "Transbaikalia sports minister denied accusations of pressure on local biathlon federation and orders to vote for Maigurov" Article 3 - "The accreditation of the regional biathlon federation was suspended in Transbaikalia"

Well, 10 golds in a day is great despite one or two screw ups. I'd guess we should win between 5 and 10 more in the last 3 days. There seem to be a lot that will be 50/50 chances, though I have no idea of our level in things like Bochas and Squash (it looks like there was good performance in both today).

First time ever Argentina doesnt win the gold in female field hockey, congratulations Chile.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gold medal Congratulations also at the other Italian medallists @phelps and @CiroMennella99

Kamalpreet Kaur (6th place in OG discus) banned for three years for stanozolol. https://www.espn.in/olympics/trackandfield/story/_/id/34780371/kamalpreet-kaur-three-year-ban-doping-violation-stanozolol-explainer-indian-athletics

What makes it even more impressive is that they were women. 😊

I'd like to think this can't possibly be true but in the women's skeet competition there are only 4 shooters and in 4th place after 75 plates there is bolivian that so far scored... 1 point.

Damn, Fernandes lost the gold medal match after being up two games to none . Still, a great accomplishment for her and Guyana.
