Joesph will earn the bronze if the race is really over…

Can the points race be ended prematurely by officials for some reason? I’m pretty sure that just happened with like 6 laps left…

11/12 for gold medals in wrestling after Greco-Roman and Women’s Freestyle.

Browne is stronger than I’ve seen him before at the moment. He beats Paul in two races, and by quite a margin.

Women’s 10m Air Rifle team event was so close. The top three teams were only separated by 1.7 points Great gold medal for /

Venues getting caught up in the social strife (it honeslty should be a very low concern compared to people’s lives and livelihoods though). Link: https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1138469/paris-2024-aquatic-centre-riots

Well, it was one of the nine sports shortlisted for potential inclusion by LA28, so it’s very much in the conversation. I mostly meant my post as a joke though.

So the judges aren’t biased in kickboxing?

v. in the men’s sprint final in track cycling Browne and Paul look very good at the moment.

The FITEQ guys are nice dudes for what it’s worth. I’ve spoke with the creators a few times and they’re all pretty approachable and knowledgeable about the sport and where it stands internationally.

Nika won the event

with a text book sprint victory in the scratch. A lot of dumb tactics in that race. I respect the initiative of . However, attacking a pack of seven riders on a 333m track with a minimal points difference on the line seems like a miscalculation from where I sit. They made the race interesting though, so thanks for that

Always weird watching a reduced entry omnium. I understand why it’s restricted to one rider a country at the Olympics, but surely the CAC Games and Pan Am Games could up that two riders so we don’t have these weird low entry mass start races.

The way @hckošice has me constantly wishing athletes success He knows how to the recruit fans.

v. heading into overtime in women’s handball. Not the best match perhaps, but still highly entertaining. Edit: completes the comeback. just can’t close in team sports at these Games.

It was asphalt though wasn’t it?

Toronto 2015 speed skating venue was odd. I guess it worked though. The Pan American Games will probably continue to have an indoor velodrome, which is unlikely to small to fit a patinodrome in the center. I don’t really know what a new patinodrome costs, but it doesn’t seem like it should be expensive, so I’d be interested to know how much Lima’s cost. Birmingham (Alabama) just made a temporary oval out of raised pavement in the parking lot for The World Games. The U.S could have used a propose built facility. I don’t think we have many. I understand why organizers did what they did though, even if I think the athletes deserve better for what is essentially their “Olympics.”

Speed skating

might be my favorite swimming podium. The little guys taking it the big guys in the men’s 50m freestyle.

These are cool

just rode the most chaotic women’s team pursuit race I’ve seen. Both teams obliterated after 3000m. Colombia with a sloppy change. Mexico’s lead rider continuously leaving the train behind. takes it in the end.

I think this is the first time an outdoor velodrome has been used for a continental/regional multi-sport games since the 2014 Asian Games? Interesting use of space as they’ve put the patinodrome in the center of the velodrome.

0-2 unfortunately. was too dominant today.

takes bronze in women’s handball. squandered too many chances in that match unfortunately.

I really like how they’ve worked handball into an existing venue. This event needs more venues like that in the future. Countries shouldn’t have to pay a large bill to host. The costs threaten the viability of these Games.
