Brazilian TV is reporting Zanetti is out of the Games with a right shoulder injury

Poor Jade and well Zanetti injured then he wont be able to qualify to Tokyo I guess??

Los nadadores mexicanos siguen obteniendo buenos resultados en los eventos del Mare Nostrum Series, quedandose a pocas centesimas de marcas personales aunque las marcas A para los Juegos siguen estando lejos. Mientras tanto en Clavados seguimos en SILENCIO, nadie sabe cuando se realizara el selectivo ni las reglas, la Federacion de Natacion sigue mutis como ha estado casi desde hace un año. Es increible que estando a 50 dias de los JJOO en un deporte que es carta para medallas de las pocas en Mexico y tengamos este desastre con esos ineptos al frente como son Todorov y Claudia Ruiz junto con sus protegidos (Team Espinosa) Sera que estan prolongando lo mas que se pueda este selectivo, dando tiempo a Team Paola a que agarren mas nivel para no ir a dar tan mala impresion como fue en la Copa del Mundo de Tokio??? solo de ese modo se entenderia la inclusion en el equipo de Espinosa (hablando individualmente). Pues vaya usted a saber!! seguimos en silencio y los clavadistas pues entrenando, entrenando sin la seguridad de nada! se suponia que era a finales de mayo el selectivo y bueno 3 dias de junio y no hay fecha, no hay reglas, no hay nada! En otros deportes, buen resultado para el conjunto de Mexico en Gimnasia Ritmica en la Copa del Mundo de Pesaro, finalizando octavas general aunque esta vez no han conseguido pase a las finales por aparatos. Lo positivo es que se ha enfrentado a las americanas (USA) y les han ganado por mas de 5 puntos en la general y eso de cara al Preolimpico es prueba que se les puede y debe superar. El gran rival seria Brasil como ocurrio en los Juegos Panamericanos de Lima. En Atletismo Edgar Rivera consigue marca personal y record mexicano con 2.31 metros en Salto de Altura en el Meeting de Samorin, Eslovaquia. Aun no obtiene la marca A para los Juegos que esta en 2.33 metros pero se mete en el ranking de quienes podrian clasificar bajo este criterio. En otros temas, se consiguen mas plazas para Mexico Golf: equipo completo, 2 hombres y 2 mujeres Badminton: 1 plaza varonil Atletismo: se confirman oficialmente las ya conseguidas en marcha 20 Km varonil (3) femenil (3) 50 km varonil (2) y las de maraton (6)

Athing Mu, the american sensation over the 400m ran 49.68 yet another American U20 record and it was in the quarterfinals! Girl is running a lot, I don't think she will have anything left when US Olympic trials come though would like to be prove wrong

Guess who AGAIN scored 7 and 8 in the final against Italians ????

Mexico a la final de Equipos femenil en la Copa Mundial de Suiza, segunda copa del mundo y segunda final. Se enfrentaran a las italianas por el Oro el domingo Ademas se va a disputar el bronce en Mixtos. En otros deportes: Tonatiuh Lopez continua con su gran momento y mejorando en sus carreras. Acaba de ganar en Nueva York los 800 metros del evento llamado 'Trials of Miles' con un tiempo de 1:45.24 y lo mejor, viendose realmente bien, cerrando fuerte y con opciones de acercarse o incluso mejorar su record nacional de 1:44.40 que lo tiene ahora como uno de los mejores en el ranking mundial. En la entrevista final ha tenido un momento gracioso al pedirle en ingles a la entrevistadora que le hiciera las preguntas despacio, luego alguien de su equipo al parecer le grito que le ayudaba a traducir, a lo que Tonatiuh dijo 'No, asi me la rifo, voy a contestar yo sino asi cuando voy a aprender a hablar ingles??' Finalmente en la entrevista ha dicho que se sintio muy bien, fuerte, con velocidad para cerrar aun mas empuje por lo que confia en su forma, asi como dijo que competira nuevamente este domingo en un evento del Tour Continental. Lopez podria darnos una gran sorpresa en Tokio, con estos tiempos y viendo la forma en que esta con esos cierres veloces yo podria verlo en una final olimpica.

Is there a posibility for mexican shooter Alejandra Zavala to get some of this quota if she doesn't qualify directly? she have missed every chance thus far in the women's 10m Pistol so I don't know if it's posible for her this option

Well, our ladies (Mexico) did not advance further into the competition. Aida Roman (52 after ranking round) won two matches but lost in the 3rd round where Alejandra Valencia (4) also crashed. Disappointing result for her. The good news is that our Vazquez teenagers, 5h & 6th after ranking round, made to the Quarterfinals but unfortunately lost 6-5 both so they are there just need more confidence and experience. I think we have two potential Mariana Avitia kind of surprises with them. Avitia won the bronze medal in London and top 8 in Beijing at 15 years! Two russians made to the final 4 with a french and Lisa Unruh from Germany (Olympic Silver Medalist in Rio) Our Mixed duo lost in the semifinals to Netherlands and will go for the Bronze Medal

I don't know why Aida is still on the team, with other ladies like our 2012 olympic bronze medalist they have never had any consideration and has been put out of the team but Aida have not produced any notable result since Rio where she bombed miserably and her press interviews and words were just awful and so full of ego that made me lost all the respect I had for her. If Mexico gets the team spot for the Games I pray we don't have Roman in the team or we will suffer big time at the Olympics. I think that for 2 straight games our women's archery team have deserved that elusive medal and failed most in part thanks to low scoring arrows from who? Aida

18 year old american Athing Mu wins the 400m at SEC Championships with a new US Junior record time of 49.84 Teenagers from Africa and now american will be making big debut this season and going into Tokyo if they all qualify will make the event very very good against Shaunae Miller-Uibo and the current world champion. An historic and potential world record race at the Olympics?

France, Australia & Mexico

Laura Galvan is becoming slowly but steady a great athlete for our nation and I hope she can do it very well at the Olympics and make a statement so she can get the recognition she already deserves within mexican sports community National Record, Pan Am Gold Medalist and now on to her first Olympics with plenty of time ahead of her and 19th mexican athlete qualified!? wow I guess this will be one of our biggest teams and considering this time the qualifying process is harder than before

Unfortunately is the reflection of what is happening in the country, less and less support for the sport hence the poor results Venezuela has been giving starting some 4-5 years ago that will hit hard bottom from now on unless something happens

judging has been a bit weird and biased, if you watch the failed dives from russians, canadians, brits you see they still get 6.00 or even 7.00!! compared to other nations (including Mexico) that if misses a dive or an entrance and the string of 5 or below shows with no mercy

For me it's kind of odd we will have quantity but maybe not that efficiency in quality (specially in synchro events) so this time a medal could be up for mexican team with 10m platform if Willars/Balleza are selected though I think Garcia closed the deal taking the silver here. If we have a diver in the top 8 and an olympic diploma in each event I will be satisfied. There is potential for this to be achieved.

Glad we have a FULL TEAM qualified for the Olympics I guess first time since since the synchro events are contested Congrats to Spain for two spots!!! it's kind of a payback since they were close in the synchro but did not make it there Ruvalcaba taking a spot for Dominican Republic, good for him though would be fair if he lived and trained there not in Mexico And Canada grabs a spot here after all the problems they had, so the olympic dream for Gagne will be alive

Totally off, not in shape, he looked like he only went to Tokyo to kind of feel the experience and said at least he had the opportunity to be at the Olympic pool once. Wont qualify to the final and that is a mediocre and unacceptable performance from him, the only mexican who did not advance to the semifinals, kind of spoils the party Rodrigo Diego, well kind of hot and cold during prelims The 3m event for Mexico is not on a high note right now, can't really say we have a real contender except Celaya but only IF he has a good day

Randal Willars delivering on the big stage, of course chinese were not present here but this is an excellent result for the 19 year old with the Silver Medal and improving overall with his consistency, he got better piked position during his execution of the dives in C, and got +90 in three rounds, his only mistake was with a 70 points score. If nothing strange happens he has to be at the Olympics, would love to see a duo of teenagers with him and Kevin Berlin (2019 Panamerican champion) though Berlin's condition and situation is unknown, I have to say that Kevin has more pure raw talent than Randal BUT lacks (in hiw own words) discipline. Overall a good final with the new up and coming youngsters saying we are here, the canadian duo if consistent will be a big medal threat maybe not at Tokyo Games but watch out for them starting next year and coming Paris 2024

Kazakhstan Greece Caeleb Dressel 7 golds (50m, 100m Free, 100m Butterfly, 4x100m Free, 4x200m Free, 4x100m Mixed and 4x100m Medley)

With al these divers competing for the first time internationally in like a year or so, I wonder how the australians will look when they compete at THE OLYMPICS as their first competition in like 2 years?? I think they could suffer a lot from that, I think they should have sent a team to the World Cup but it looks the australians are taking very restrictive measures regarding Covid

Kenya, Belgium & Colombia but maybe 'just' 1 gold medal for them to zero for Argentina

And one brit diver just withdraw Mexicans looking Okay, Gabriela Agundez 4th round dive scoring 79 and sitting third entering the final round, the quota is almost a lock The other girl is clearly right now our third ranked diver or even 4th nationally when you put in the mix Alejandra Orozco and the promising teenager Maria Jose Sanchez

2 hours and we are in round 4 of 6 my God, this is it for me At least Randal has been very consistent just his fourth round dive gave him a bit of problem but I can see him qualifying to the semis and getting the olympic quota, unless some bizarre thing happens but since almost everybody is missing dives and having a rarher poor performances I think Randal just needs average dives in round 5 and 6 and he is in, already have enough cusion

De momento no recuerdo los nombres pero si lei que habian impuesto record nacional en 2 eventos y una chica se quedo por muy poco del record e incluso de la marca A

By the way after round 1 of the looooooooooooooooooong qualification in the men's 10m platform, Daley in first as expected and what about this new surprise, 14 year old japanese Rikuto Tamai in second place, followed by Randal Willars in third
