  1. Meanwhile, regarding Lima 2019 qualifiers, only 10 athletes are eligible to gain a quota place in women's skeet, so 4 places will go unused.
  2. qualifies 3 shooters, gets 2 and , & one each in men's air rifle.
  3. I still remember that upset
  4. VENEZUELA Ricardo Montaner - Tan Enamorados
  5. Yes some idiot messed the entry and put Malabo among the bidders.
  6. Not so sure about Mexico. Our strongest shooter, Zavala, has been having a nightmarish season, so I just pray tomorrow she wins her event, having the support of her home crowd.
  7. Despite concerns hey might avoid its stop over at their host city, Mexican delegation will arrive later today at Phoenix, where Cafe Tacvba will perform tomorrow night at Comerica Theatre. After that, they will arrive on Wednesday night to Orlando for the final. Rumor has it some secret donor gave enough money to pay for additional security in exchange for Mexico's whole 2019 production of wines, beers & spirits.
  8. But now, only a disaster would make lose the quota.
  9. Correct. I'll update PanAm quotas at the end of the event.
  10. For that to happen, Brazil must either miss the transportation to the venue or play with only a goalkeeper
  11. So going to the final in men's air pistol: 2 each from and 1 from &
  12. Bronze for Moreno :MEX First medal in WAG and second overall What an achievement for her!!
  13. As @intoronto said, an athlete already qualified can't obtain a new quota for their country. So no woman from USA can qualify in skeet.
  14. Following my previous comment, I share that one note of that excessive marketing has seen “Pan de Muerto” being sold since late August. This is one of those elements that must not miss in the offering. “Pan de Muerto” is a soft bread, in which the dough contains a touch of orange water, and once baked, some sugar is added. I confess I’m a willing victim of marketing this year and ordered some individual pieces to give, but I admit these ones are really good.
  15. Well it’s not entirely true. Catholic countries/regions have a religious commemoration for the souls of the dead, which follows November 1st in which all people who have reached sanctity are commemorated. In that aspect you’re right, traditionally Latin American societies, most of which have a Catholic tradition, observe those festivities, which include some sort of visit to the resting place of deceased family members. However, “Dia de los Muertos” is a tradition that dates to prehispanic times, and that is mostly restricted to the Mesoamerican region, which covers central and southern Mexico, plus the northern parts of Central America. As @LDOG stated, the modern celebration combines indigenous and Catholic elements, including building an “altar” in which people put offerings, mostly those things the deceased one liked to eat. Recently, the whole thing celebration has a lot of its original meaning, due to mistepresentation, cultural appropiation and excessive marketing. On another note, Halloween was very popular in North and Western Mexico when I was a kid, but now it has cede its pkace to Dia de los Muertos, mostly for a national pride reason.
  16. I think I qualify for a swap. Anyone in my team willing to trade @vinipereira @titicow @thepharoah @justony @Enrique?
  17. And Mexico U-23 is world champion, defeating Japan 2-1 in 10 innings What a great title for our young men. Hope they revive the senior team as soon as possible.
  18. Silver for Yarely Salazar of Mexico at the second stage of World Cup
  19. Dont' worry, both & will make it to next's year. Is the Czech women who must be on the verge of tears
  20. Qualification document, as of September this year. Take a look at page 3, Team Qualification Criteria 2
  21. Yes, according to Tokyo 2020 qualification document if a continent doesn't have a team among top 24 at this World Championships edition, then the 1st place at next year's Continental Championships shall take 24th, 23rd or even 22nd position, as long as the continental championships are held before 2019 Worlds. If not then the best team of that continent at this year's world championships will represent said continent at 2019 World Championships.
  22. Final in vault for Alexa Moreno
  23. I agree, especially because it's also an Olympic qualification event
