Reminder: Pan AM Wrestling Championships start tomorrow. Top 4 from each weight class qualify for Santiago 2023. It appears max one per nation per weight category, meaning countries that earned a slot cannot earn any more, however, if they don't send the 2021 Cali Champion, they lose their quota. Weird. 

and  qualify for the men's softball tournament and will join hosts to complete the field. / replace   and  from 2019 

Skateboarding added to the list!

TAISC 2022

The commentators lol. "An accomplished French team".
That's literally the first time ever this team gets to start an official Team Sprint on a 250m track 

Hopefully we can win our first ever Pan American Games gold medal. At the very least, I hope we can win a medal after winning none in 2019.

I think Wimbledon will be cancelled going by the ATP statement 

I think E is for 2028....if 2 or more are found as dopers at Paris 2024.

Some new tidbits:
 
-Bowling cut to 48 quotas + 2 from Cali 2021 (down from 56 in Toronto and 64 in Lima/Guadalajara)
-Fencing stays the same + Cali qualifiers, qualifier is at the Pan Am Championships this year in Asuncion
-Water skiing stays the same in terms of quotas (48)
-Judo has the same quotas, but this time a team event will also be contested + Cali qualifiers. 5 events (4 in the last two editions) will be used to rank athletes, with the top 9 qualifying per weight category, + 1 for host.
-Wrestling has same quotas + 6 wild cards, half qualify from 2022 Pan ams and the rest at 2023.
-Racquetball's quota cut from 60 to 48, looks like max 2 athletes per gender per NOC (cut from 4)
-Rugby: No automatic qualification for Argentina, Canada and the USA. North American qualifier will be in November 2022.
-Squash: Quotas cut to 48. No surprise here, the sports added in December of 2020 had their quotas slashed, 8 teams per gender qualify to compete in all 7 events, no individual qualification. It would be funny if 5+ countries were unique in the men's and women's, because then no mixed doubles can be held.
-Archery is complicated

Can't remember if it was posted here yet, but here's volleyball (in Spanish)

Summer McIntosh’s sister won a bronze medal at the World Junior Figure Skating Championships

I'm just happy to see the men's side moving up recently.  It's been a long time since Despatie.

first ever IWF Street Weightlifting Competition in mixed team format
 
https://iwf.sport/2022/04/14/iwf-unveils-new-iwf-street-weightlifting-competition-and-athlete-ambassador-program/
 
 
those two words together to makes Tommy happy

That score would have gotten Rylan Wiens 4th at the Olympics, similarly Margo Erlam's performance in the women's 3m would have won silver. Tanesha Lucoe's performance in the women's 10m would've placed her 7th. Of course, comparing scores between competitions (especially national competitions) isn't the best, but it does show our diving team is still strong. Now we just need someone in the men's 3m...

If you are going to slash racquetball and squash like that then you need to drop the team events. No individual qualifiers for squash is ridiculous.
