  1. Correct. I'll update PanAm quotas at the end of the event.
  2. For that to happen, Brazil must either miss the transportation to the venue or play with only a goalkeeper
  3. So going to the final in men's air pistol: 2 each from and 1 from &
  4. Bronze for Moreno :MEX First medal in WAG and second overall What an achievement for her!!
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. I think I qualify for a swap. Anyone in my team willing to trade @vinipereira @titicow @thepharoah @justony @Enrique?
  9. 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.
  10. Silver for Yarely Salazar of Mexico at the second stage of World Cup
  11. Dont' worry, both & will make it to next's year. Is the Czech women who must be on the verge of tears
  12. Qualification document, as of September this year. Take a look at page 3, Team Qualification Criteria 2
  13. 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.
  14. Final in vault for Alexa Moreno
  15. I agree, especially because it's also an Olympic qualification event
  16. Entry list So just one week before this event is due to start. Not only Olympic qualification, but also the last spots for next year's Pan American Games (another Tokyo qualification event) should be distributed. For this later event, and after a brief scan, every participating athlete (up to the limit by NOC) should secure a place in women's trap, and skeet in both genders. I will try to attend the air events next weekend.
  17. It's always nice to know this rules and acquiring more knowledge about this sport in particular.
  18. Nataly Michel won gold in women's foil at today's Satellite tournament. @heywoodu silver went to Eline Rentier & one of the bronze medals was won by Kitti Bitterova @hckosice
  19. Can I suggest using Great Lakes Region instead of Eastern Midwest which sounds horrible? I know Indianapolis is not close to the lakes, but the State has a shore in Lake Michigan
  20. 25 & Paul (may he rest in peace) the Octopus
