Squash, kickboxing, karate: already a few similar sports in the program. Lacrosse, Football: not competitive (I believe). Canada & USA too dominant. Motorsport: has no place at the olympics (does everyone get the same vehicle?). Break: TBD after 2024. Baseball-Softball & Cricket are welcome, but don't think there's space for both. Baseball will get in 100%. Cricket turn maybe for 2032..

Yet another new olympic discipline where Brazil is great? Next they will include sth like MMA or capoeira for 2028.

Oh I just found out... 4th place in the elite. I'm happy and sad.

Literally who? First time I hear this name.

I believe there was a gold for in U23 single LW. Same guy that made the olympic final in the doubles. Interesting career to follow there.

It's a trick. We played in Beijing.

Colombia qualified. It's better this way, what would our team do at the olympics? Better to focus on the world cup.

For a long time I was sure that had happened but a compatriot here once told me it didn't and I went to Wikipedia to check and apparently no, Argentina never qualified anyone. This is some Mandela Effect type of shit... I vividly remember when I was in school that I bought a review magazine from Athens with articles about all the national performances and that she was mentioned with a result but seemingly that was never the case and I lost that magazine unfortunately.

Archery: 0-1. Maybe yes, maybe not. Artistic Swimming: 0 Athletics: 5-9. Mostly in marathons for token participation. Other than that some field events like Shot put or pole vault. Badminton: 0 Argentina has never qualified in this sport, not going to change this time. Basketball: 0-12. It will be very tough to qualify this time if all the opponents use their best players. Beach volleyball: 2-4. Men and women through continental quotas, the men could fail though. Boxing: 2-4. Always we sneak in some people. Breaking: 0 Canoeing sprint: 2-4. Men's K1-1000 for sure, maybe the K2 as well, maybe some women's quota. Canoeing Slalom: 0-1. Maybe we'll get one of those reallocations like always. Cycling BMX: 1-3. Men's race for sure, women's maybe both in race and freestyle. Cycling MTB: 1. We always qualify someone. Cycling Road: 1-2. We always qualify someone. Cycling Track: 0. No chance again, sad. We participated continuosly from 1984 to 2012 with some good results. Diving: 0. I don't think we even compete in this at pan american level anymore. Equestrian: 1-3. Jumping, expecting one rider, maybe the team with luck. Fencing: 1-2. Men's or women's sabre, women's Epee are the chances. I think at least one will get a quota. Field Hockey: 32. Only qualifications that are 100% certain. Football: 0-36. Women's team has to beat Colombia in a few days, men's team will depend on what team is assembled. Golf: 1-2. I believe we have two guys in qualification position currently but who knows if they will withdraw. Gymnastics Artistic: 2. One girl, one boy. Gymnastics Rhythmic: 0-1. Maybe with luck and good performance we can qualify for the 1st time. Gymnastics Trampoline: 0 Handball: 0-14. Not favorite to beat Brazil or an Intercontinental qualifier but it's not impossible. Judo: 1. Perafan in -48kg women. Modern Pentathlon: 1-2. Dependant on luck/day performance. Rowing: 1 Either men's or women's singles. Rugby Sevens: 12 Men's team. Sailing: 8-10 Windsurf M&W, Laser M&W, 49er FX, Nacra 17 and maybe 49er. Shooting: 1-3 Expecting men's skeet. Maybe women's as well, maybe someone in 10m rifle. Skateboarding: 0 We're okayish in men's but not enough for a quota I believe. Sport Climbing: 0 USA/Canada are too strong in our continent. Surfing: 0-1 We have a couple of good surfers but they are still outside contenders for quotas. Swimming: 2-3 Some token participants like usual. Table Tennis: 0-2 We have decent chances to qualify at continental level. Taekwondo: 1-2 Guzmán may qualify again or not but there are also some good youth talents that could surprise. Tennis: 4-6 Expecting full men's team (Schwartzman, Baez, Cerundolo brothers or Etcheverry) + some doubles specialists. Triathlon: 0 Volleyball: 12 Men's team Water polo: 0 Weightlifting: 0 Wrestling: 0-1 Destribats or maybe some other surprise. Optimistic: 189 Pessimistic: 94 Realistic: between 140 and 150

Semifinals v v 5th place match v Reminder: -finalists qualify to Paris. -top 3 qualify directly to 2023 WC. -4th and 5th qualify to 2023 WC Intercontinental play-offs.

Are we still doing covid tests at sport events? sheesh...

Yes, I expected much better (for various reasons). Not necessarilly to win at the end but not playing this headless hockey.

Yes but Argentina played way better that day. Also Netherlands was better in that tournament so that was to be expected. Today was pathetic.

Terrible and embarassing performance. My disappointment is inmensurable and my day is ruined.

Final 3-1

@thiago_simoes is it really completely, totally, absolutely impossible for Isabella Ajalla to qualify for Paris? I haven't been able to find her birth date but I'll assume it's 2008.

India a big disappointment like usual, PC % basement-low all tournament which is surprising because I thought they were one of the best at that. Confident Germany and Argentina will be in semis. Netherlands should too but something is a bit off in their game and Belgium can run them close (even if I don't think they can get the win or a draw). Australia-Spain is 51/49 in my view.

Both teams? The men have literally nothing else to do this year.
