Very likely we'll fail to qualify in boxing for the first time since 1908, which would mark a new low for our soon-to-be dismantled olympic sport structure.

Chile is actually underperforming a bit, right?

Argentina 0-6 in the last 3 PAG. Maria Jose Vargas lost all finals. 5 of them to Mexico.

No veo mas de un oro en vela. No hubo cambios que nos hayan favorecido.

Si no hay un par de batacazos yo ya te digo que es posible terminar abajo de Chile. Contaba con que Uruguay les hiciera mas fuerza en el Remo pero no fue asi.

You mean wild?

What does "nothing wire" mean?

Btw nothing to say about his political qualities but I found the AMLO reaction faces to watching Milei videos so funny not the commentary, just his faces.

I wouldn't describe any faction of peronism as right wing except maybe in the 90s. Federal peronism is centrist at most. These labels are always a bit relative to what's in front though. What matters anyway is that an hypothetical government of Massa would certainly follow leftist policies for the most part even if he himself is not the most leftist member of the coalition.

I only used the descriptions that majority of political analysts (both national and foreign) would use to label these parties. Btw you should cheer up, it's still perfectly possible for Milei to win (ofc I wouldn't want it, but it's a realistic scenario still).

Presidential elections in finally arrived... here are provisional results (but already a big % of the vote computed): Sergio Massa ("Unión por la Patria", the ruling centre left party) 36% Javier Milei ("La libertad avanza", far right) 30% Patricia Bullrich ("Juntos por el Cambio", Centre right) 23% Other minor parties combined: 9%. There will be a run-off in November between Massa and Milei.

Men's final live on TyC, for those that asked.

In Taekwondo they made one of our girls fight a whole round against the wrong opponent. They suspended the bout midway and had to start the men's final early...

Amazing silver for Russo over 2 americans. Crazy how she's only good at this competition every 4 years and not in any other place

What amazes me about our rugby XV is that the years pass and the players don't get one bit smarter. They live making dumb penalties and are tactically very inept (play narrow when they should play wide and viceversa). Our sevens team players have absurd rugby IQ compared to them. Probably a coaching issue at grassroots levels.

Last two times played a semifinal the match was basically over after 20 minutes. I don't see any reason to think it won't be like that this time as well.

Lmao only 4 of the 10 biggest markets will have live tv broadcast if I understood correctly. I know this is 2023 and there's streaming and bla bla but this just shows the decadence of the event. I think SA and CAC games have more of a future ahead compared to PAG...

My last estimate of gold medal chances for Someone else will surely point out if I missed some other good chance for a gold. I'm pretty sure there'll be at least one gold not listed here but I opted to not list potential big upsets. Overall, I expect between 15 and 22 golds.

Highly likely it will be Georgia vs Greece for a place at the euros.

I believe it should be like 5% of the football WC ratings and only for knockout games. The biggest ratings were back in 2007, that edition was crazy popular here. Even a Boca-River game got rescheduled to a later time of the day so people could watch a quarterfinal game.

No.

Ehm, normal?

Only Africa is a problem in that regard. Every other continent can perfectly qualify at least one even with the reductions I proposed cuz it would still be 24 quotas for each single sculls event and 33 for ILCA, it's still quite a lot relative to the short depth of these sports. You can also perfectly keep the universality and continental quotas. The only people missing the olympics will be average athletes from middle and some big nations, not a big loss.
