    Molinari! Yeeees! I want him to get a medal! Brazil had their best ever performance in a team event with an all-time high (for us) score over 250 points. Amazing! Canada was a HUGE surprise scoring over 246 points. I don't think the US can score even as high as Canada (the US boys scored 246 last year on a perfect day with no mistakes at all).

    This is Canada's best chance for a men's team medal in 20 years, but they should not pose a threat to Brazil or the United States. Even a bronze medal would be fantastic for them. They surely have improved after they hired a Brazilian coach.

    What are the best chances for Uruguay to get a medal at the Pan Ams? I guess Victor Rostagno is a dark horse on vault (and maybe floor, but this is an even longer shot). It's not impossible for him to get a medal.

    When you are given a second, third, fourth, fifth chance, and you've proven you are an a**hole, and your actions can be seen as a desperate attempt to hide cheating, there's no way this person can redeem himself. Even Efimova is a lot more humble when faced with criticism. Everybody is free to choose who to admire, of course, so more power to you.

    They have a lot more good and successful examples too. Besides, when you usually have the best athletes in a given sport, it's expected that somehow cheaters will try hard to join the team as well so they can keep up. China is not the best in swimming, and Russia tries to be the best in everything but they mostly fall flat on their faces when competing against clean American swimmers. It's not hard to figure out, really.

    Okay, Casado was an expected gold medal but not exactly easy. Now, bronze in gymnastics? Impossible. The closest competition is the United States (and, even so, this is their C team). All the other teams are missing their best gymnasts and I don't even know who will win bronze because everybody else is poor condition. Even if we have a terrible day there's no way we will win anything less than silver.

    Three easy gold medals lost: Casado in artistic roller skating, Isquias and Erlom in sprint canoeing and Avancinin in mountain bike. I hope artistic gymnastics does not disappoint today. It should be an easy gold medal too.

    We've seen many cases of doping from China and Russia, so they are the ones responsible for tarnishing their own images.

    Two world records.

    Australia upset the US in a relay event aga... Oops, it was Great Britain this time.

    According to our commentator on Brazilian TV (and Wikipedia), Litherland has both Japanese and New Zealander descent. He finished ahead of a New Zealander and behind a Japanese here. EDIT: Joshi beat me.

    Is Pilato the youngest ever medalist at the World Aquatics Championships? It would be cool to have the youngest (Pilato) and the oldest (Nicholas Santos) in the same year.

    Huge surprises today. What an exciting last day for the championships!

    She does because she is still part of the team officially. Well, this went a lot better than I had expected. Great result considering all the drama that has happened so far. Now I want a medal for Dominici and Magistrati. I hope they can achieve one.
  15. thiago_simoes
    The performances have been terrible so far. It's not a problem with the scoring system, it's a problem with the gymnasts themselves.

    The Cubans don't look healthy. They have been forced beyond their limits and their bodies are crumbling. Poor girls. Only Brazil can beat Argentina now. I expect 156 or more for Brazil, but 3 falls would be enough to finish below Argentina. It could be close, very close.
  17. thiago_simoes
    Her reaction was touching when her score came up. Very nice result.
  18. thiago_simoes
    Huge surprise: Jamaica leads beam. NO ONE expected her to be first on beam after the first subdivision.
  19. thiago_simoes
    Argentina probably blew their chances on beam. They had to count a fall in every single routine. I think Brazil and even maybe Cuba can beat Argentina's total score.
  20. thiago_simoes
    It was background music, not floor music.
  21. thiago_simoes
    Oh, so no medal for us at all. Argentina, Mexico and Cuba will battle it out for the bronze medal. I think Argentina will take it.
  22. thiago_simoes
    Argentina with big scores on floor and Canada with very low scores on beam. I think Argentina can realistically beat Brazil and even get the bronze medal if they repeat this level of performances on the other apparatus.
  23. thiago_simoes
    This is one of the most outrageous things I've seen in my life. The Brazilian did not deserve a medal at all. The Paraguayan deserved it. I'm really frustrated here. Poor guy.
  24. thiago_simoes
    Well deserved bronze medal for Ecuador on women's artistic roller skating. And Brazil got the gold medal for the first time.
  25. thiago_simoes
    Oh, I knew there was something wrong. LOL.
