Impressive Brazilian performance in Boxing, with 12 medals out of 13 events

Deinifite, they lost in MTB and now beach volleyball, probably they were hoping for a full sweep in women's rowing and more medals in water skiing. If they don't take 2 in tennis, they may strugle to get above 12 golds in total.

Mostly Karate and Tennis, I don't think they're that strong in Roller Skating.

Actually she already has a quota after winning gold in 25m pistol, so quota for Lagan

You explianed pretty good what kind of songs could be used in a "Día de los Muertos" themed contested, because "Dios de los Muertos" (God of the Dead) would be better celebrated with songs regarding Hades, Anubis and such underworld deities.

I'll send my votes on Thursday. I'm a little behind schedule, but Thursday will be fine to avoid any potential mishap.

Well it's the same old tale in every Latin American election: the douche v. the turd sandwich. There's no political party in the region with a left, centre, right or any other ideology or a political compass. They're just a bunch of morons, pimps, drug dealers, terrorists and white collar criminals looking every bit of power for themselves. In summary: there's no left or right parties in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and the rest of Latin American. They're all getting too similar to Italian Fascist Party or German National Socialist Party. So sad that Argentina now has to look to a clown like Milei as al alternative, same as Mexico did back in 2018.

Promising first weekend for Mexico. However I remain cautious rather than optimistic. The medals in swimming are totally unexpected, we already have 2 silvers and a bronze, which should be all, unless another good surprise comes in the next few days.

Otro buen día para los mexicanos: Dos oros en tae kwon dom uno en parejas mixtas de formas y el otro para Leslie Soltero en menos de 67kg. Una lástima que el resto de los atletas sigan con una actuación muy pobre. Oro en clavados sincronizados para Willars y Berlín, aunque aún necesitan pulir más su técnica si es que quieren ganar medalla en París. La sorpresa, viniendo de atrás, Citlali Cristian demuestra por qué fue la primera atleta en clasificar a los Olímpicos, con todo y nuevo récord Panamericano. Una nueva plaza olímpica en tiro, y una plata que se vuelve casi oro para Gabriela Rodríguez, bastante meritorio. Otro fracaso en clavados femeninos de trampolín, Arantxa y Carolina siguen sin poder mantener una buena forma, y se pierde un posible bronce. Una pena la lesión de Alexa, que definitivamente fue factor para que México se quedara sin pelear por un podio en equipos. Racquetball se mantiene con buen paso y puede dar medallas, aunque no creo que llegue a barrer como en ediciones anteriores. También mañana el pentatlón puede dar nuevas medallas y un par de plazas adicionales, si evitan malos caballos durante la parte de salto ecuestre. Creo se pueden esperar un par de medallas en remo, aunque sin color de momento.

Not yet. She's got to compete in final "B" where she can improve her result.

Yes, but they're not even one of the "power" teams of the region.

And to Ecuador in men's beach volley

We think alike, Sansores will be our main chance in kyorugui and Mixed Poomsae could be the other. As you say, our always are always defending, never attacking enough. I wonder who the lousy main coach is this Olympic cycle.

Let's pray together for at least another couple of golds. Honestly, this federation always blows it with so much in-fighting.

Yes, you're completely right.

With Gerardo Ulloa suspended and Avancini not competing, everything's on place for Vidaurre to be the first gold medalist of the Games, unless Holmgren gives a not so pleasant surprise to the hosts.

Folk Andean music

I'm thinking Massú or González or both will lit the cauldron.

Wonder why they used it, when in recent years his shameful behaviour as human being has been revealed and reviled

Mexican pink, which is used in many buildings and is one of the countries symbol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_pink

So indeed Olympic quotas will be given for the gymnastic disciplines?

My gold predictions for Mexico, without the complete delegation names: 4-5 Basque Pelota 3-5 Diving 3-5 Modern Pentathlon 3-5 Racquetball 3-5 Tae kwon do 2-3 Archery 1-3 Athletics 0-2 Cycling Track 0-2 Sailing 0-2 Shooting 0-1 Baseball 0-1 Canoeing 0-1 Football 0-1 Gymnastics 0-1 Judo 0-1 Rowing 0-1 Surf 0-1 Water Skiing So the lower number would be 19 (like in Rio) and the maximum (if everyone keeps up) could be 45, but I think the total will just reach 30.
