Yes... the women's team got the sport rolling and the men are also making waves 

Yikes

Denmark here almost doubling its entire WOG history at one games. Amazing.

Lebanon had just one shot on goal today, this is their goal which was very weird

the ball was certainly going out but then the very strong wind in the stadium kept it on the pitch (the ball changed its direction on the air like something hit it) and while our players were just watching  the Lebanese player scored!

Horrible. Worst organization of any sport body. Their communication is just bad.

Sorry Group D got cut out.
 
Group D:  (men)
Group D: (women) 

So, on Facebook the organization of the event mentioned that the start lists for gymnastics are ready, but didn't provide any links. The sheer incompetence of PASO/PanAm Sports is nothing new.

Mateusz Sochowicz suffered a bad and weird accident today while testing the track during the training week for next year's Olympics in Beijing. According to the first information, the athlete broke his leg and they had to take him to the hospital. According to the Polish media, the Polish athlete was injured due to a technical failure on the new Olympic track. The light at the start was green, but for some reason the entry gate he hit did not open. For the 25-year-old Pole, this could mean the end of the Olympic season,

I can say Malta's athlete has been a co-worker of mine in the past lol, good luck to her

Fun fact                                      Karolina Erbanova bronze medalist in PC 2018 speed skating 500m scored today her first goal for Czech female ice hockey National Team  in the 4:0 win over Denmark during the Olympic qualifier test match.

While everyone else only has normal highlights, the ISU has emotional highlights.

Not sure about the validity of this, but a great career nonetheless.
 

Life is sometimes so cruel...
 
Today passed away Slovak ice hockey player Boris Sádecký (24 years old).
 
 
You may remember him for that incredible goal 4 years ago
 

 
He collapsed during the IHL (ex-EBEL) league match last week between Dornbirn and Bratislava Capitals and today came the news he passed away...
 
2 days before (26th October) the accident he scored a hattrick against Klagenfurt and was so smiley and happy to find back his form...

Unbelievable. literally 8 days after scoring a hattrick the kid died
 
RIP Boris
 

Goodbye MP... lol.
 
Why do we need a triathlon with fencing and laser shooting added to it? There is 0 point...

Some good news:
