  1. Quotas aside, Mariana Aguilar from Mexico finished top 10 for the second year in a row 😃 I hope she can also be in the medal race at the Olympics.
  2. Good result and quota for . Now I’ll keep my fingers crossed for Paulo Strehlke to win another quota tomorrow.
  3. Great result for Osmar Olvera, probably our best competitor going to Paris. He adds this gold to the couple of silvers he earned last year; I just pray he doesn’t fall for the traps of the opportunistic media and scoundrels that live off others fame, and that he doesn’t get a breakdown with any expectations Mexican fans get from this result.
  4. Good start for Mexican divers: Aranza Chavez made it in the 1m final and Paola Pineda was just .10 short of it, finishing 13 in the prelims. And Silver in the team event, not that far from the Brits, which confirms this team can try for bigger things.
  5. Great prelim competition for her so far, she was really focused and it showed her talent, impressive
  6. Nice bronze medal in mixed skeet for Mexico
  7. Some “unusual” competitors in diving entries:
  8. British male ice dancer has Mexican ancestry; his given name “ATL” means water in nahuatl language.
  9. First podium for a Mexican cyclist in a UCI World Tour event: Isaac del Toro finishes third in the general classification and is also the best junior rider
  10. Isaac del Toro has won the second stage of the Tour Down Under Biggest achievement by a Mexican rider in the last 30 years.
  11. Renata Zarazúa qualifies for her second Grand Slam
  12. Quotas for &. Panam Games reallocation go to &
  13. Uruguay is also mathematically qualified, if I’m not mistaken, as their net score could not surpass 205, meaning also Brazil has a quota.
  14. And the local authorities seem to back the idea of Guadalajara being considered as the replacement host: https://x.com/for_ortega13/status/1742721175959023981?s=46&t=9vS5uQBNQ2F0H_cquGNQGQ
  15. The main problem, as with the Olympics, is the demand for large, new state of the art venues, plus the costs of building an athletes village, that could only realistically building a main one, with smaller "satellite" village as part of urban renovation/public housing proyects. Other than that, I think that regional projects could work better, with 2 or 3 main cities in the same country hosting the events.
  16. Agree. Paraguay is a no go for the "senior" Panam Games. It's either return to Lima or Miami, if they gather local support. I'd love to have them back in Guadalajara, most of the venues remain in place, the exception being the athletics stadium (although they could use temporal stands in the small venue they had for last year's Gay Games) and the athletes village (but with the local governments being in a vertical rise bonanza, it could be solved with one or two urbanizations).
  17. In Mexico you have 3 traditions, depending to which part of the country you live. Central and Southern Mexico are more team “Reyes” so kids there expect to find their gifts on January 6th. Northern Mexico is team “Santa” in larger cities, but the rural areas also celebrate the Wise Men. And mi city, is the only ones where kids write a letter to Baby Jesus asking for gifts.
  18. Merry Christmas to those who celebrate the holiday! Hope you enjoy(ed)/are enjoying the festivities with your loved ones, and receive lots of hugs and gifts. My best wishes for you.
  19. Renata Zarazua wins Montevideo 125! First win for a Mexican women in singles
  20. Well, no surprises, as Australia also gets the quotas in women’s springboard (Georgia Sheehan) and men’s platform (Samuel Fricker).
  21. 1st day quotas: Men’s springboard: Shixin Li Women’s Springboard: Nikita Hains Well, surprise, surprise the Aussies get both quotas. Hains and Li performed better than the rest of the small field, there’s no doubt, although in women’s competition the other athletes had rather forgettable performances, and in men’s, Liam Stone from New Zealand is not in best physical shape, carrying a slight injury. Let’s see if tomorrow can snatch the quota in women’s springboard.
