Lucas seems to be on another level in Giant Slalom right now.

Honestly, I think you guys have a much better chance of success here than we do. It's already difficult to maintain this sport, and with this ridiculous format this year, things have gotten even worse. Years and years participating in the elite and we haven't been able to evolve; it was just a waste.

Another weak result for our athletics team, which is typical; without Caio or Alisson, our chances of a medal in any high-level tournament are almost zero. However, Juliana's result in the women's pole vault was a great 7th place. She is improving rapidly and still has a lot of room for growth.

Cameron McEvon WR in Men's 50m Freestyle - 20.88 (China Open) This means that the last vestige of our "golden age" in swimming is gone. This sport is practically dead here. RIP.

I read somewhere that it's because women's teams hardly ever play, so it's an opportunity for the already qualified teams to play friendlies against teams from outside the continent. It was probably just a theory. How much sense does that make? I don't know...

Well, I'm sad and happy at the same time. I'm happy because I expected it and we're not taking a spot away from a country that deserved it more. But, we used to be one of the leading basketball countries, we were world champions and Olympic runners-up. Now we can't even qualify for a world tournament anymore, always losing to teams like Puerto Rico, a declining Serbia, an ascending Germany, and now being left out by the hardworking Czech Republic and Mali... The worst part is that there won't be any improvement. Nobody cares about losers, nobody cares about women's basketball here. The national league is terrible, there are no young players, the national federation doesn't care...

Ancelotti has announced his squad for the upcoming friendlies, and the hot topic here in Brazil is Neymar's absence. He's clearly not in good physical condition and he's not exactly young anymore, but could his talent compensate for the risk? Well, I think many people think so (and maybe I do too).

Baseball is one of their prides, and I'm happy that they'll finally be able to see their team at the Olympics.

Did we really win, Mali? Well, despite that, Mali's chances are strong, as they only have to beat South Sudan. As for Brazil, now I'll have to hope the Czechia doesn't beat China so we get eliminated.

Could we say this is one of the great duels in current table tennis? There's nothing better in sports than a balanced game of table tennis.

I'm always surprised by how pathetic this Brazilian team is. Let's wait for the next embarrassment tomorrow when we lose to Mali.

Thxx. Now it makes sense. I imagined they had helped Russia, but other countries did it too, and I didn't understand why they specifically had been banned.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to comment, but why was Belarus banned anyway?

This was Cristian and Aline's best event, right? Any chance of a medal in the other events? Obviously not gold, but maybe a bronze?

Anyway, these last few years have been magical for us. First Winter Youth Olympic Games medal First Winter Olympic Games medal First Winter Paralympic Games medal. Who would have imagined this 10 years ago?

Predictably, it's always the Chinese doing absolutely nothing for years only to arrive at the Paralympics flying high.P

It's good to know that. I'm still traumatized by Beijing 2022, when the Chinese came out of nowhere to dominate the event.

If allows it, right?

I'm sad for Luigi Cini, I so wanted him to be world champion.

I don't even know if I should celebrate, a medal in Men's Park is practically an obligation.

Medal for Caro

I just realized we're here.

It's very sad, because for Paralympic athletes, this moment represents the little visibility they get.

This was a significant escalation; perhaps we will see more protests during the games themselves.

I found it difficult to hear the audience's reaction. But it may have just been my impression.
