I guess it was surprising by how close it was in the end.

Hi folks! Here I'm at Santiago de Chile.
 
I've been to athletics, gymnastics and field hockey. Sadly I saw not a single Uruguayan competitor.
 
The Estadio Nacional has a white coat of paint, but is otherwise in bad shape. The rhythmic gymnastics venue looks pretty, but accessibility is bad and there were roof leaks.
 
The field hockey field is fine. However I missed a full quarter of Arg-Can trying to buy two drinks, as the venue had just two payment machines and one didn't work - it would have been much faster to walk 150m to the fan zone and return.
 
After I got the drinks, the main grandstand was full. I walked to the north stands, where the net made it impossible to take photos. On top of that, a rather rude volunteer didn't let me take photos from the corner, despite being 5m above the field.
 
Nothing unexpected I guess. Let's cross finger for tomorrow at La Pintana...

The rhythmic gymnasts have better musical taste than the artistic swimmers I’ve decided.

Just 7 more golds to tie the non-home record. It'll be fun seeing if they can get there.  

and now silver in the Women's K-4 500m
