Indeed, the worst I've ever visited,

Well their only other chance will be in bowling women's singles

Well, the only "problem" I see in Argentinian sports is that the focus seems to be in the team sports, neglecting to some extent funding individual disciplines... however, everything can happen any given day, so I can't count Argentina out of the fight yet

Agree... this should be an argentinian sweep of the golds, as only Uruguay has the level to spoil this.

I think this will be a Colombia v. Brazil for first place, with the former having a slight advantage as they seem to be sending their best. Argentina could join the battle, but unlike the two other, I'm sensing they can't afford to lose many gold opportunities or else they will be relegated to third. In another level, Venezuela should be safe in 4th place, followed by Ecuador, Chile and Peru. The hosts could finish 8th, thanks to racquetball alone, plus some minor chances in race walk and shooting.

And the best result for Tamara Vega, placing 5th Along with Mayan Oliver (who qualified for 3 world cup finals this season) I think they are our safest bets for a spot in Tokyo. Sadly to see, the level of our male pentathletes has decreased greatly, after winning our first Olympic medal in Rio Can't wait to see if Hernandez returns next year as he promised.

I didn't knew about the Nationals and funding factors... still, hard to miss other opportunities to in a multi-sport event but again, every federation and NOC have their priorities.

I was indeed surprised that Canadian federation didn't send their best athletes to this championships... guess after Toronto 2015, they just started treating Pan Ams below the Commonwealth Games

Glad one of Independiente's players made it to the final squad. I'm guessing the press and the fans in particular are not happy about Higuain's spot.

i had the opportunity to watch the apparatus finals and thought they looked pretty good, maybe to consider them solid podium contenders for Lima 2019. But I suspect the lack of participation also had to do with the scores. @thiago_simoes did you watch the performance of the Mexican groups? If so, I'd like to read your comments.

It was only in a satellite event, but Nataly Michel manage to get a bronze in women's foil

And Sweden lost

So I think televote will give the win to Sweden

Can you stop teasing me?

Can't they suspend Greek jury... it has not been a single year they don't give 12 to Cyprus

Wow, Austria is scoring real well

Now the ugly question... does any entry will end with zero points?

Good performace by Ryan... his live vocals give more "soul" that the studio version.

For me it is anything but Sweden

Hate me all you want, but I like this song... probably not the best Dutch entry, but he sounds good and at ease with his song.

That's the kind of song they use in Latin America for a male deodorant brand... generic plastic pop
