Well, it's the form of the sound control guy to show his support. Meanwhile after Morales & Capobianco meltdown in round 3, there are great chances for Gagné and Knight Wisdom to end with the Olympic quota

The big upset of the Games so far. Brazil out of men's final in handball

7? All eight.

I guess they took for granted Brazil would be in the final

I think @thiago_simoes is the right person to answer that question.

This time I enjoyed more USA than Mexico's routine.

Meanwhile, Brazil is struggling with Chile in men's handball. On the other hand, Brazil's volley team seems to be "avenging" that.

Some mistakes that in a world cup or world championships would have cost them the qualification for the finals. Still, they've grown so much this cycle, I'm proud of them and hope to see this group in Tokyo.

They used 2 ropes & 3 balls at last year's season.

Probably they're just waiting for the ground jury to validate results.

The music and choreography have much to do for a routine to be interesting. The Brazilian girls did very good, but music killed them a little.

I'm sorry @thiago_simoes but I hate this music for Brazil's 5 balls exercise... seems like I'm going to a funeral.

Great, now they will turn Women's WC even more mediocre Women's WC expanded to 32 teams since 2023

And especially not after host athletes lost 3 previous finals in a row

You mean hoop right? Edit: my bad

I know medicine is quite expensive in USA, ridiculous even, just like what you pay for fast food (that in comparison to other countries) Well to put in context. The minimum wage approved by Mexican Congress for this year is around $5.25 USD a day, and there are millions of workers earning just that. A sad reality, that is the origin/result of other problems in a sad misery circle

Well you forget that $5 USD may not be cheap for you, but for people in other parts of the world, it may be the difference between going to a sports event or contributing for paying for medicines or public utilities. I remember tickets in Guadalajara 2011 weren't expensive for me; but again, I earn above the average Mexican, yet compared to other parts of the world, my degree is not paid the way it should.

Bad weather or lack of wind, most probably

Diving? Since when? Outside a couple Colombian divers (and Mexico of course), everyone else in competition at Barranquilla were total crap. Track cycling? Mexico is an upcoming country at best, and still, them and Trinidad & Tobago were able to completely embarrass Colombian team at their training velodrome; how come that would be taking it seriously by Colombian track federation? Weightlifting? Maybe, but you forgot USA and Ecuador also have very competitive teams, plus some individualities from Brazil, Canada & Chile. As I've said many times before, the fact there were only 5 athletes in an event and 16 in other, is not the fault of the organizers, but on the weightlifting federation qualification criteria. Now, talking about audience? Maybe Peruvian citizens are not well aware of the times and places, and that's entirely to blame on the organizing committee, but you can't expect the 20+ Peruvians to just abandon their jobs to go and see a competition; maybe prizes were too high for the general public, I remember searching for tickets, and thought most prizes weren't so cheap, which I imagine was another factor.

Podoroska Congratulations to her & Argentina.

You're kidding right? How can you even compare Central American and Caribbean Games with this? Not in a million years... the only exceptions could be baseball and boxing. Other than that, no other sport has half the level.

I think Colombians decided to poop their party; they're not nice guests

Haven't realized Mexico got a bronze in slalom canoe K1 women's

Tanti Auguri @Sindo!! My best wishes for you. Enjoy your day!

What an idiot
