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
 
 

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

Indeed a great contest in the laser run, as Mexico was only fourth before the event. Great run for our two pentathletes qualified to Paris and an exciting competition for the rest of the teams.
 
Heartbreak for Chile as they were ahead of Ecuador before that last shoot.
 
Besides Mexican gold haul, the most impressive performance came from the Ecuadorians  which were definitely not a contender in the odds, and went with a batch of medals.

refuses to let  have anything

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 

Thanks for your concern, and fortunately, neither me nor my friends or family, live near Acapulco.
 
What’s sad is that this is one of the states that is a stronghold for MORENA, the governing “welfare leftist” party, which just a month ago suppressed and took all the money from the federal fund for disasters because “it wasn’t necessary”, when in reality it is being funneled into the presidential campaign of the president’s dauphine, same woman who in her previous two government posts did nothing during the 2017 Mexico City earthquake and the collapse of the “metro” lines two years later.

For anyone who thought the swimming medal ceremonies disrupted the rhythm of the session, I highly recommended viewing track cycling. It has murdered, buried, and grieved the rhythm of this session 

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.

The thought that we would buy some players for a sport that isn't even popular in Brazil in order to win a Pan American Games medal 
 

with a medal in women’s volleyball for the first time since 1975 

Bronze medal for Mexico in Swimming, Men's 100m breaststroke, Miguel de Lara coming from Lane 8 
 
It is medal number 4 for mexican athletes thus far, and two more are secured to my surprise in the taekwondo combat category with two in the finals!
 
If this ends up in a gold (or two) this could well boost confidence for the rest of the meet for mexican taekwondo that is really lacking results like this
 
Later more medals can come with Diving
 
 

Brandon Plaza is in the Final of the Men's -58 Kg well at least we have a finalist! BUT Lucas Guzman is looking VERY STRONG in his semifinal and for me he is the big favourite, mexican taekwondo nemesis
 
 

I meant she didn't get the quota since someone who already had one won the competition. I should have been more clear. Sorry.

I thought the quota was only for the gold medalist had they not already qualified.

if im not mistaken, the quota is reallocated because Agundez 🇲🇽, who got the gold (and the quota) already qualified by Worlds 2023, so its not moved to the next non qualified NOC, it goes to reallocation. 
 
The same happened with the European Games and their quotas

The last 3 rounds were dramatic!
 
Edson Ramirez was waaay back at the middle of the competition, even risking going out at the sixth place surprisingly after qualifying first to the final.
 
But he close strong, hit 10.8 and above 10, though nerves hit him but also the guy from Peru and the american who both shot the worst they could first guy from Peru who was almost perfect until the final shot for the third place 
 
Then the last round and both guys mexican and american were soooo nervous, Ramirez did not have a good last shot BUT the american failed again and lost the advantage he had and lost
 
Gold medal for Mexico and Olympic Quota

I have little hope, maybe Carlos Sansores will once again step up and the Mixed Poomsae could go to Mexico
 
But those are the only chances of Mexico getting another gold in taekwondo in my opinion
 
Well there is now that 'Team Competition' but I think Dominican Republic, Colombia in Men is stronger than mexican guys who indeed have potential but are always defending not atacking tactics

Silver medal for Mexico in Weightlifting Men's 61 Kg
 
 

Let's pray together for at least another couple of golds.
 
Honestly, this federation always blows it with so much in-fighting.

Mexico first gold at the Games, William Arroyo taking the big prize in the Individual Poomsae 
 
Taekwondo delivering, at least at the Poomsae category, we'll have to wait how things turn with the Kyorugui (combat) given the overall sub par performance throughout the year for the team and their supposed big guns
