Hehe you're right... but you're probably forgetting we have sent "Bad Hombres" to most other corner in USA. Chicago in particular has also a big Mexican community

Great, now Mexico's participation will be at risk unless Seamus is willing to donate his pot of gold, so we can buy some anti riot gear and hire a security team of at least 500 people to survive in Arizona.

Wow, good job @Werloc

I think this is going rather quick for usual standards... plus let's say it, this is quite fun.

33 & Patrick Star

Wow, there's no way team USA will be beaten... first apparatus and all gymnasts in top 7

Hey, I didn't realize but everyone in team Ouro Preto is helping with the draw.

You're evil...

Great participation of our U-23 squad... yesterday's comeback against Dominican Republic was a thing for other national teams to learn. Now, let's see if they can surprise Japan in tomorrow's final.

My turn right? 18 and red parrot

I'm here @OlympicIRL

Going with Benin & Venezuela

Count me in, as long as it is after 13:00 hrs CET

According to tomorrow's start list, Larduet will not compete in the AA.

Great effort by Alejandra Romero in women's 59kg 5th place in the end is a great result against stronger nations in the sport; what I can't understand is why she always does rather good at World and Continental Championships, but always fails to deliver at regional games

Well I agree the country it's too quiet and peaceful for its own good, but Colonia del Sacramento and Punta Ballenas are lovely places to visit.

Well, well, well... have you voted yet?

Cuts made... just need to order the 12 songs plus the 4 reserves.

Well, I think they should still qualify for next year's team competition as the beast team from Oceania, taking the spot from the team that finish in 23rd or 24th place, since either Egypt or South Africa will also benefit of that same rule in the women's competition. So in my opinion teams like Mexico are the ones that could pay the price for those two injured gymnasts.

Changes done

And Jamaica will go directly to the World Cup, beating Panama 4-2 in penalty kicks, after finishing 2-2 in regular and extra time.

Wow, a 5th place by Moises Rosado in men's -55kg... I think this could be Mexico's top finish in a world championship.

I agree, judging is very open and subjective... however, as with gymnastics, each element of the dive shall be performed according to the rules; yet as you correctly point out, it would be better if each of those elements were given a value, and then deductions taken if not perfect

Ok I've read the article and if I got the facts correctly, in Argentina there's a prohibition to advertise and hand out sodas to children and teenagers due to health concerns because of their sugar and sodium levels. So a NGO requested the Argentinian judicial system a precautory meassure to declare unconstitutional and annul a public contract between the city's covernment and Coca Cola, by which the former agreed to pay Coca Cola $35 million local currency to allow them to distribute their product during the Games refering to it as a "hidratation" service According to the article the court's (IDIOTIC & UNLAWFUL) ruling stated: 1) that Coke's products weren't covered by said health prohibition. 2) that the judicial system could not enforce the city to apply those restrictions since this was a power reserved to the legislative branch. 3) and finally, that to annul the contract would damage the development of an international event like the YOG's So in summary, this corrupt pathetic excuse of a judge basically and plainly stated that law is to be ignored by private economic interest. That my friends in Latin American constitutional theory of the XXth and XXIst centuries at its best.
