My moments since I began watching the Olympics, for Mexico, not that we win a lot of medals but at least since Sydney the haul is more 'decent' than before that edition. - Mexican Soccer Team in London taking the gold unexpectedly, first and probably most important achievement for this sport like ever - Soraya Jimenez weightlifting gold medal in Sydney, first for a mexican woman ever - Maria Espinoza and Guillermo Perez taking gold medals in taekwondo at Beijing 2008 - Aida Roman & Mariana Avitia Silver & Bronze in Women's Archery in London 2012, first time 2 mexican women stood on the same podium - And maybe an infamous moment, Sydney 2000 Men's 20 km walk, Mexico wining gold and bronze, Bernardo Segura wining, celebrating, but getting DQ and notified while he was having a call on national tv covering the games with the then selected as Mexico's next president

Great result for the new pairing in the men's 3m synchro, now Osmar Olvera with Juan Celaya who placed 4th in Tokyo at this event. But now a big controversy is coming about the situation of who will be competing in Paris with Osmar? the organising body that rules aquatic sports in Mexico already announced that Osmar & Rodrigo Diego were the selected divers for the Olympics in the synchro event, BUT given Rodrigo slowly but steady going downhill with bad competitions and a bit of a mental struggle state in the last months, now they decided to change and give a try with Juan Celaya. This pairing with Celaya makes their debut and what a result, a big 420 points total and lots of improvement in the synchronised part of course. What will happen? kick out Rodrigo? but they already selected him, now how they tell him sorry but no, we take back. Rodrigo could challenge this of course but in al fairness if he is struggling he could sacrifice his spot and let Celaya take the better opportunity. I dont want a scandal with this situation to affect mexican aspirations on this event at Paris, for me the 3m synchro is the biggest chance to get a medal among with Osmar individually wining at least the bronze.

I thought that this time no mexican fencer would be at the Games but thanks to Gibran Zea we will have representation.

I hope Nasar wins the Gold and the doper Lopez doesn't make to the podium in Paris

I hope Mexico can get two quotas

Two posibilities for getting it but still Guatemala takes the quota Don't know what to say

And another Bronze Medal for Mexico, Gabriela Agundez and Alejandra Orozco took bronze in the 10m Synchro. They keep the good results, no lower than 4th place at major competitions. Though I will keep an eye out for the North Koreans in Paris who will be a threat for a medal given the spectacular show they gave in Doha wining silver and the olympic quota with dives almost chinese caliber.

No, it is official. Only the Men 3m individual will be decided at the 'Olympic trial' later I think in June I didn't know about a posible reallocated quota for the women's 3m event.

For the reputation yes, GBR have Jack Laugher who has all the medals to show, but the other guy is not that consistent and Laugher is now not that consistent as before. Yes, Mexico has the weak link with Rodrigo Diego, but if you put the Degree of dificulty program mexican and brits have the same start value In Doha Mexico was 4th just shy of a silver medal and in front of the brits, and here with clear errors from Diego they were 1 point behind GBR Maybe Mexico is not the front runner behind China but is not that far from GBR and like I said IF (and is a big IF) Rodrigo has the competition of his life I can give the edge for the mexican pair in Paris. Though everything can happen! let's remember who won silver and bronze in Doha with a less difficult program: Italy and SPAIN!! @mrv86 I think Rodrigo and Kevin should focus only in the synchro events, right now they don't have any chance of a medal, the best scenario with them is an olympic final. But remember the Mexican diving team for Paris is already decided in all events but the Men 3m Individual where Diego, Celaya, Ocampo will fight for that spot.

Mexico Well we have Alan Cleland qualified, hoping for a second surfer at this Games was maybe too much right now

Rodrigo Diego execution once again costs Mexico a better placement, it is very disappointing that he has the quality and talent but still lacks confidence and that killer instinct that Osmar shows. Hoping he somehow finds that consistency and mental strength in Paris, with a consistent and clean, not even perfect, competition Mexico is maybe the Silver medal favourite at the Games in 3m Synchro.

If only Gaby Agundez didn't missed her individual dive, that cost the gold medal Anyway good start for the team, this and the 5th place in the women's 1m springboard will give momentum for the rest of the competition and boost chances of getting all the quotas still needed to qualify a full team to Paris

Mexico with 41 Golds and just two away of surpassing the All time best gold medal haul including home Games that is 42 That will come once Pelote Basque gives the gold medal rain on saturday/sunday

A day of all finals in Judo & Tennis and Baseball Mexico getting to two finals in Judo, hoping we can get at least one gold so we could continue the golden medal trend of getting at least one each day thus far Brazil will start their rise in the medal table with plenty of opportunities to get gold medals, today could be their golden day like Canada had on thursday

I forgot the Keirin had yet to come! Colombia took their third gold of the session and could win one more! well they established once again as the Panamerican Power Nation Mexico got an unexpected bronze medal, so we'll take it for the medal tally Good day for colombian athletes, taking 3 (and counting) golds in track and 2 in boxing, schedule will favour them much more in the second week

Thanks I live in the northwest zone of the country very far from where everything happened, so sad the disaster

Good day for Mexico with 4 golds, dominating the Modern Pentathlon taking all the golds available (5) Though Track Cycling perfomance was good, but given the results at Panamerican Championships earlier this year there were expected a couple of gold medals more than the two we currently have and most likely get Still with 5 Silvers its a good message that this sport is doing their job and that is more to come for this generation of track cycling Colombia taking 2 golds and with Canada most likely will share the top of the medal standing in track cycling Oh there is the Men's Madison yet to race, so one more shot for Mexico of that third gold (and fifth today) Canada vs Mexico fighting for the second place in the medal standings, though Brazil is coming strong slowly but steady taking golds in boxing, qualifying to tennis finals and of course surfing, judo to come later

Brazil is now what Cuba used to be in Boxing Cuba with only 3 finals, will hurt a lot their chances for going up in the standings but Cuba could get a boost when wrestling, judo and athletics start Mexico with 2 finals, impressive! and two olympic spots.

Where you can catch the On Demand?

Another dramatic Final in Diving with Mexico taking both golds, the upset was the 3m synchro for the women because Canada was the real favourite but they failed a dive and could not close the deficit, Mexico with a steady performance was able to hold on to their consistent dives (not spectacular) and took the gold. In Men's 10m Platftorm Mexico was the clear front runner for 1-2 BUT our canadian fellows gave 'em hard time with big dives including a 101 points dive from Zombor Murray, unfortunately the canadian didn't have the degree of dificulty program high enough and with some tiny errors he could not hold on to the lead and the big program in DD of Randal Willars who prevailed in the end and took gold by 3 points even though he failed not once, but twice!! still the huge degree of difficulty helped him. Kenny Zamudio of Mexico took the bronze thanks again to a similar program like Willars and knocked off the podium the other canadian to fourth place. In the end 8 golds in Diving. Taekwondo and Diving gave 14 of the 26 golds already won, things from now on wont be the same in terms of gold medals but still I think 11 more golds could be achieved. Raquetball wont help that much this time, today we lost the men's team semifinal. And Mexico with 2 wins in Boxing advancing to the semifinals!!! can't remember when was the last time that happened? maybe 2011 in Guadalajara.

Mexico is doing very well but Taekwondo is already over and Diving is coming to the final day, these two sports have delivered most of the golds. But still, it is a great result that many other sports are doing their duty with the gold medal haul, maybe not dominating like taekwondo and diving, but surely giving golds. here and there. Special mention to Raquetball that has been a great contribution in other Games but this edition will be a modest gold tally, with maybe 4 of the 7 availabe, when in past editions Mexico sweep them all. 22 golds already and the goal of surpassing the 37 from 2019 is within reach. 37 Golds in one edition is the most ever for Mexico in Panamerican Games history. There could be more golds in Diving, Track Cycling, Rowing, Archery, Modern Pentathlon, Triathlon and specially Pelota Vasca that traditionally gives Mexico many golds. Athletics could deliver maybe a couple of gold medals.

Buena jornada la tercera, seis oros y 12 medallas en total Carlos Sansores respondiendo con oro panamericano venciendo 2-1 a USA. Al final con un bronce en mujeres 67 kg. Mexico en combate sumo 4 oros y 1 bronce, un resultado ' bueno ' a secas, algunos exponentes siguen de capa caida, otros de algun modo cierran en buena nota el año y con la confianza de que 2024 sea mucho mejor. Dos oros en clavados, esperados aunque el de Sincronizados fue ganado a pulso! vaya final entre mexicanas y canadienses, ultimo clavado con Mexico viniendo de atras necesitando casi el clavado de sus vidas y asi fue! 80 puntazos de Gaby/Alejandra para superar a las canadienses que tampoco fallaron su ultimo clavado pero la balanza se fue a las nuestras. Ojala sigan asi estas chicas, se ven seguras cada vez mas, maduras, en el mundial en febrero proximo no deben tener problema en ganar la plaza. Y en trampolin 3 metros Osmar simplemente casi rayando la perfeccion, increibles clavados. Ganando por casi 100 puntos de ventaja, es que fue aplastante su victoria. Una lastima Rodrigo Diego, que fallo tres clavados y salio incluso del top 8. Lei que viene saliendo de lesion, pero me parece raro que en la preliminar estuvo tirando mucho mejor, es de esas inconsitencias que tanto afecta a nuestros deportistas. Ojala mañana salga mucho mejor Rodrigo junto a Osmar y puedan hacer una buena competencia y llevarse el oro que a priori deberia ser para Mexico. Dominio en pentatlon moderno, con dos oros y dos platas asi como dos plazas olimpicas. Deberan caer mas oros aqui con los relevos en ambas ramas. Oro ademas en esqui acuatico, disciplina que hasta ahora ha dado solo una medalla y quiza manana de otro oro o plata. Dos platas mas en Tiro categoria mixto, Rifle de Aire y Skeet. Y otra medalla en natacion, bronce en 200 metros pecho varonil llegando a cuatro en total hasta ahora, un exito considerando la situacion de la natacion mexicana dentro y fuera de la alberca. En Raquetbol, este martes se disputara 2 de las 5 finales en disputa, el singles femenil con final mexicana (oro y plata seguros) ademas del dobles varonil. Mexico no va a dominar arrasando con los oros como lo hizo en las ultimas ediciones, no creo se deba a una baja en calidad sino a un periodo de transicion y relevo, cambio generacional, ya se retiraron Samantha Teran, Alvaro Beltran, una Paola Longoria que sigue arriba pero ya solo compite en individual y mixtos (donde cayo en semifinales) Esta vez tenemos exponentes jovenes, que estan tomando experiencia y que seguro vamos a ver poco a poco desarrollandose en el futuro a corto plazo. En estos Juegos el raquetbol esta sembrando, para volver a cosechar en ediciones futuras. Todavia se podria ganar 2 oros mas, falta la competencia por equipos varonil y femenil. Ojala se pueda ganar esas dos.

4 medallas más, para cerrar con 12 metales (6 oros) la primer jornada de los Juegos Gabriela Agundez dio una competencia impresionante con un salto arriba de 80! puntos para tomar el liderato y nunca soltarlo, se ve que esta chica no tiene miedo a competirle a quien sea, sigue mejorando, creo que ese temple ni siquiera lo tenia en su momento Paola Espinosa. Plata para Alejandra Orozco. Osmar Olvera ganando el oro en trampolin 1 metro tambien dando una actuacion dominante, ganó por 40 puntos al segundo sitio, mostrando el momento deportivo en que se encuentra. Y pensar que tiene 19 años solamente! Ojalá lo cuiden y sepan llevarlo; a dia de hoy es una de las cartas más sólidas para los Juegos de París y de otras ediciones por venir. Y el bronce en Levantamiento de Pesas en los 73 kilogramos para Jorge Adan Cardenas, ganando la medalla que parecia la unica disponible pues el oro y plata estaban cantados para Venezuela y Colombia.

How? Mexico already had 2 quotas for this event earned at Worlds Brazil gets the Panam quota available

Plata en natacion, con Maria Mata Coco en la final de 200 metros mariposa. Ademas se logro el cuarto lugar en otras 3 finales de la sesión. Y en un gran resultado, necesario para el taekwondo mexicano, pese a todo Brandon Plaza y Daniela Souza ganan la medalla de oro al vencer al argentino y a la colombiana por 2-1 Esto va a quitar presion del resto del equipo y, en teoria, debe darle confianza a los que faltan por competir, mejor inicio imposible para el taekwondo azteca
