Question 1 (b) Question 2 (a)

Always the same in athletics Well Mexico is not going to enter every athlete that qualifies, as the idiot federation put more strict marks... in some cases, they go way past our own NR

Thank you... so most likely everyone get an extra quota, the exception being Canada which already fulfilled max.

Unfortunately, they were beaten today by Puerto Rico, so they'll have to play for bronze Semifinals: 29 v. 25 30 v. 23 7th place match 30 v. 24

So according to my calculations there were 16 places to be reallocated. In addition to the above NOC's, who else got an extra place?

Unless either Uruguay or Costa Rica pull one of the most biggest upsets, Colombia has qualified their women rugby team.

Day 3 North & Central America & Caribbean Qualification Results Group A 21 v. 45 21 v. 27 Group B 17 v. 23  SEMIFINALS: v. v.

I think Mexico is next in line, unfortunately for Bahamas According to my calculations here are provisional quotas for Judo after Pan American rankings: +11 +14 +11 +5 +9 +1 +14 +10 +4 +1 +2 +1 +1 +1 +9 +1 +3 +4 +13 +1 +10

Well it's a miracle Erling Håland kept both legs after the match... Honduran players are the dirtiest in CONCACAF. Total humiliation for this U-20 squad, probably the biggest win in the history of this competition

Day 2 North & Central America & Caribbean Qualification Results Group A 17 v. 24 40 v. 21 Group B 34 v. 36

Until more roosters are revealed, I will reserve more detailed predictions, but here's my thoughts: 1st: USA 2-3: Brazil/Cuba 4: Canada, depending on how many "B" and "C" teams they'll be sending, but they could drop to 5th 5-6: Mexico/Colombia 7: Argentina 8-10: A lot of possibilites; my guesses are Venezuela, Chile & Peru as hosts, but the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico & Ecuador could finish there as well.

If someone's interested, the Mexican NOC is broadcasting the qualification tournament of North & Central America & Caribbean Today's Results Group A 22 v. 22 30 v. 17 Group B 34 v. 38

VOLLEYBALL GROUPS Men's Group A Group B: NORCECA team Women's Group A: Group B:

Thank you

Great finishes for Mexico, an eight place in men's and 11th in women's Hope this helps their chances to finish top 10 in the Panam Games.

What was the last tournament considered for the qualification ranking?

It was Colombia instead of Panama in the first KO.

And he has managed to qualify in the first KO Great for Honduras!! Also Panama got a place in men’s, while Ecuador got 2 quotas in women’s @hckosice

I think that, given certain conditions, Mexico has a chance to make it to semis this time.

I wish every single person in the world would ask themselves this kind of questions when they're going to cast their votes for a party/candidate. Irrespective of their answer on a determined topic, which is personal and I choose to respect unless is something that leads toward hate crimes or disrespect of basic human rights, I at least can be assured they are willing to look for a reason behind their positions and beliefs.

My thoughts after watching the semifinals: The ones I'd like to lift the trophy: all the way!! This year I'm really behind the favorite, love the lyrics, the music and his song. I think the staging could have been better, but I think the other factors should count the most when choosing the winner. I'm so glad they have put a real singer with a decent song and epic back vocals, instead of a runway model. I love her vocals and the fact she sings in Serbian. I think at times she goes too loud, and the staging doesn't help her either, but I'd like to see her finish in a high place. I like how their voices seem to "match" and create a good vibe song, with some fantasy touches. He has not the best song, yet he works with it beyond my expectations, so it is my dark horse. Performances that I like to see to get a good placing: I wasn't behind this song at first, but his performance showed a balance between energy and good vocals. I don't think is a winning entry, but I'd love to see them go above any other of the Big 5. Love how the band get their act together, even if they doesn't have the best singer, they definitely own the stage. She didn't gave her best today, but still has enough talent and presence, and qualifying from a the hardest semi, gives her extra merit. I thought from the begining she was underrated; not a winning act, but she gave her best effort, unlike other performers, so the best of luck on Saturday. I usually don't like songs that serve to promote political agendas so blunt, but can't deny her delivery of the song is almost perfect and makes her an anthem. Underperform: I was expecting more from her, the song has so much potential, but her vocals were not good and the staging rather unimpresive. I understand opening the contest must be hard, but still, such an energetic song deserves a better delivery. Great music, great lyrics as it has been the case for the past three editions; however San Remo jury must find a pleasant voice who can shine on stage due to his/her singing abilities. Nice song, even if quite "pink", but her singing was subpar on the semifinal. I pray she does better on the final. One of my favorites for a top 5; liked the irony between their lyrics and the fact they were participating. But I guess this is one of those cases where sound engineers are the real heroes. What are they doing in the final: Belgium has taken the fault for their performers being without charm, but what about this? Most overrated song of this edition, without doubt. She mumblres all through a spineless, boring tune I'd use to slit my wrists in a bathtub Generic electro pop with a singer that often yells and goes off key; enough said. Enjoyed their stage act, but too much circus, with mediocre singing, but what can be expected from a half song? On one hand I like to see the "tiniest entry" in the final; but Serhat voice is really hoarse and he could barely dance along, the song was saved by the catchiness of the chorus and a brave decent from the backing singers. Deserved to be in the final: This was not Origo, but he still is a good singer. Too "boring" from "modern" audience, yet her voice and the acoustic guitar are some of the best I've listened in years. A good vocalist, an interesting staging, damaged by a subpar song. She was one the few that really seemed to enjoy being there, and went beyond my expectations but got stuck in the hardest semi. Biggest dissapointment A decent song, thrown away with a staging that screamed "Dracula" instead of "melancholia" and a singer that never found her voice, coupled with another excellent product of sound engineering.

Well, WTF wanted to award the hosts a medal on the men's side at any cost, because let's be honest, their only competitors with enough level to medal are Jade Jones and Bianca Walkden. As for Mexico's participation I guess that's all the medals we'll obtain, but this is without doubt our best participation away from home in the last 12 years, according to comentators.

Wow, huge blow for the players that were likely expecting to compete at home

Well, at least they won a couple of medals. Tomorrow's competitors will have harder draws, so I doubt any of them will even make it to QF.

Well, I'm not counting on that. From all team sports, Mexico only has a real chance to medal in women's football and softball, with very outside possibilities for men's volleyball, softball & basketball
