Yeah just saw it. We're a lot safer now.

puts almost all of its skill points into racquetball and a little into race walking.

I got a bad feeling about this. Will the host nation boost cost us a team quota?

I suspect with the host nation boost, Chile will be competing with the likes of Argentina, Colombia and Cuba. If not, they should still finish solidly in the top 10. While swimming appears to be a diverse sport given that most nations compete in it, in reality only a handful of nations excel in it. Currently only 5/45 (11%) of medals were won by non-USA/Brazil/Canada nations. In 2019, it was 21/114 (18%) and Argentina accounted for 10 of them. So unless you are planning to compete with Brazil/Canada you don't really need a good swim team to excel.

To be fair, we were pretty cursed in 2019, we were capable of winning 10-15 more golds, but our athletes fell at the final hurdle.

The lack of gold medals for Argentina has cost it a spot in the top 10 and has been replaced by Peru. Though I believe they will return as more favorable medals are awarded.

The Olympic quotas for today: Shooting - Men's 25m Rapid Fire Pistol - Shooting - Men's Skeet - Shooting - Women's Skeet - Sport Climbing - Men's Speed -

If you are going to watch/follow Pan American sports knowing a little Spanish is almost a requirement. Some Portuguese won't hurt either

I know it sounds bias since we just won gold, but I'd like to repeat how much better the format in park is compared to street.

After Day 1, United States takes control of the medal table with 9 golds and 20 total medals. Mexico is second with 6 golds and 12 total medals. Both Brazil and Canada have four medals, but Brazil has more silver medals (3 v 2). Brazil has 13 total medals while Canada has 9.

So today's Olympic quotas: Diving - Women's 10m Platform - Reallocated Shooting - Men's 10m Air Rifle - Shooting - Women's 10m Air Rifle - Sport Climbing - Women's Speed -

Canada with a 20 second lead after two laps

First gold for Canada. At least we can say we held a lead at the Pan American Games

I guess she didn't get enough points for citizenship

No, the 3 universality will count in the 48 athlete total so to be truly safe you need to be in the top 45.

I'm not surprised, she's been getting less field time despite her "respect" factor. It was quite believable that she would be at best a sub for the last ~20 minutes of games. Her going for one last World Cup was understandable, but she already has Olympic gold and the all-time scoring record. There's nothing more for her to achieve.

The universality quotas are only awarded in the 100m, 800m and marathon. Additionally, in the 800m only a maximum of three athletes can qualify under universality.

Besides Canada, are there a lot of other nations represented in the NFL?

A team EU would utterly dominate the medal table. Looking at 2020, they would have won 89 events and then you have to consider combined teams would have upgraded their results to gold so I imagine an EU team would win over 100 events. Due to athlete limits per nations in events many silver and bronze medals would be up for grabs which will likely go to the remaining big nations. Many of Canada's 4th places would now be medals. With that said the IOC would probably let the EU nations compete separately (some kind of "Grandfather clause") the drop in competitiveness would wreck the Olympics.

The lack of MLB players definitely hurts.

They probably didn't want to risk overlapping with the opening ceremony. Still they could have played three match tomorrow. Baseball might take a while, but you can fit three games in a day.

Boxing is a huge wildcard since there haven't been that many competitions. It also depends on the draw. Back to Day -2. Baseball is the only sport on display. Too bad Canada failed to qualify. I'm hoping Chile keeps it competitive, but I am doubtful.

The bigger question is whether the coaching staff is willing to punish Wiggins for his non-involvement. It's cutting your nose to spite the face vibe, but if he doesn't show up for any camps between now and the Olympics I think it's a possibility.
