Oscar Schimidt, brazilian basketball legend at 68 yo. 

I'm surprised by the gymnastics here. Colombia clearly doesn't care, and Brazil and Argentina are terrible.
 

Not gonna happen although some Algerian users would love it to happen 

The "Andinian Plan" is a very old conspiracy theory in this land, nothing new under the sun.

Yo todavia no puedo creer lo de los 200 combinados.
 
Primero, Chain metiendo esa gran marca con 14 años.
 
Segundo, estuve viendo los parciales de Hein y no me habia dado cuenta pero el crol del final que hizo en 29.3 es una animalada. Para que tengan idea ninguna de las finalistas del último mundial (ni mcintosh) metió menos de 30 segundos en ese sprint final. El tramo de mariposa al comienzo fue lo más debil de la performance de Agostina (en comparación con la super elite igual). Todo esto, recordemos, 14 minutos despues de terminar los 800. 

This "guy" is not for real; he's a troll, an arab hey woody

She made 54-something in the 100 FR mixed relay. Would've also won the gold in the individual 100m contested earlier in the session had she entered it.

Iran's economy before the revolution was OK but not good.
 
M.R. Pahlavi wasn't the worst dictator in the world but still a dictator and in my book there is no good dictator, they are all bad. and yeah that 1953 coup or what we call 28th Mordad Coup played big role in the current mess. (ironically those responsible for that coup now consider themselves defending democracy) 50 years before that Iran had a revolution called "Constitutional Revolution" to limit the king's (Shah) power massively and creating the parliament, that coup was essentially the end of that era, completely destroying the parliament and giving 100% power to the king. 
 
if you rule a big country like Iran for something like 40 years, you start to believe you are the God himself, that was the problem with A. Khameneyi too.
 
btw at the time of revolution nobody knew he was dealing with cancer, that was revealed later.

I think we could realistically be in every boxing final here.
 
But some idiot got too provocative during the fight and got knocked out.  Well, he's young, so let him take it as experience.

Two gold medals for  Agostina Hein with two new (senior) south american records!
 
8:22:01 in 800 FR and 2:10:82 in 200 IM.
 
(she did the IM only 10 minutes after racing the 800)

Hein already with a SA junior record in the heat of 200IM  very close to the senior record of Maranhão. 

winning judo golds,  winning wrestling golds, and  winning table tennis golds. It's all topsy-turvy at the moment 

Nueva jornada, esta vez sin oros pero si con medallas, muy destacable lo de la arquería, el boxeo bien, entiendo que el resto cumplió (hasta el tenis de mesa), mañana con la natación empiezan en serio lo juegos.

I completelly agree but you can imagine i didnt want that end, i screamed: NOOO when Garcia make his final points

Well, I must say that two gold medals in wrestling is not something common for us (and one of them in men's freestyle!!!!), even at the South American level. So I'm satisfied.

Great match between Gracia  and Verón  for gold in men's 80kg greco-roman wrestling! Just about everything you could want a gold medal match to be 

Nuevo día de competencias, el judo sigue dando que hablar.......todo lo contrario la lucha femenina, ni un triunfo que no fuera por DNS, el surf siguio bien, el futsal se recupero y el boxeo logro el primer triunfo, terceros y por pocos en el medallero.

I will drop a bomb here (I'm hoping I wont be banned/warned or post wont be removed), but today in Polish Sejm one of members of Konfederacja Konrad Berkowicz, during his speech displayed Israeli flag with swastika and did said what he thinks about Israeli actions in Gaza.
 
He was booed in the end.
 
 

Buen inicio, hay que decirlo, 2 oros y un bronce en deportes de los que no se espera mucho (judo y lucha), bien el surf tambien en general y las chicas de futsal, terrible goleada se comio el futsal masculino y me parecio muy malo lo del singles en tenis de mesa, ningun semifinalista a nivel sudamericano.

And Brazil beat Argentina in futsal 9-3! 

What kind of multi-sport event is this where only two sports award medals on the first day? 

First golds in Judo for Argentina and Venezuela, very weird Brazil without golds.
