The race will be chaos.

The Uruguayan Basketball League regularly suspends matches for rain. Almost no court has underground heating.

Uruguay has 64 competitors of 18 sports at the Youth Pan American Games, including three Olympians: Lola Moreira, Felipe Klüver and Nicole Frank. https://www.futbol.com.uy/Deportes/Uruguay-ira-con-64-deportistas-en-18-deportes-a-los-Juegos-Panamericanos-Junior-de-Cali-uc804008

Uruguay got 7 medals at the South American Junior Artistic Gymnastics Championship: Fiorella Otero was bronze at the under-14 women's all-around, and got medals in three apparatus. Isabella Marenco was bronze at the under-11 women's all-around, and got the gold medal in vault. Marenco, Camila Buck, Renata Rodríguez and Belén Sosa got bronze in women's under-11 team.

The Uruguayan football association is bargaining hard to sign Gallardo as the new coach.

No New Zealand or Scotland is quite depressing.

Uruguay's Estadio Centenario will host the Copa Libertadores final match. Thousands of Flamengo and Palmeiras fans are expected to arrive. The government asked shops to store plenty of freezing-cold beer. However, it turns out that the next day it's the national elections for the state pension savings bank. By law, alcohol sales are banned for the weekend... https://enperspectiva.uy/en-perspectiva-programa/la-mesa/veda-por-elecciones-de-bps-prohibe-venta-de-alcohol-en-la-final-de-la-libertadores/

On top of that it's the San Felipe and Santiago 10km run.

Oh you are right, it's the Australia, New Zealand and South Korea matches that were postponed.

Uruguay-Argentina, the oldest international rivalry outside Britain, is tomorrow.

Speaking of prize money, in sports like golf, tennis and motorsport there are investment companies, which finance a competitor's development years, and later get a share of the professional earnings.

The 2021/22 Sevens World Series will start the last week of November at Dubai, followed by another tournament at Dubai the next week. For confusing reasons, Great Britain will play at Dubai, whereas the other rounds will feature England, Scotland and/or Wales.

This weekend: Formula 1: Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos IMSA: Petit Le Mans at Road America Nitro Rallycross: Wild Horse Pass Nascar Mexico: Guadalajara Turismo Carretera: La Pampa Australia Supercars: Sydney

The 2023 Fiba World Cup qualifiers first round starts on November 25 for Africa, Americas and Europe. The start of the Asia-Pacific qualifiers first round has been postponed to February.

This week it's the Uruguay Open, an ATP Challenger Tour tennis tournament. I may attend tonight. Next week it's the Montevideo Open, a WTA 125k tournament. On Friday and Saturday it's the Torneo Valentín Martínez, a multi-sport tournament held at Carrasco Polo that will feature the South American Rugby Women's Sevens. And this weekend it's also the Rutas de América women's cycling stage race.

Great performances at the South American Youth Aquatics Championships: Clara de León got the gold medal in solo artistic swimming with 152.3926. Nicole Frank broke the 200 m backstroke women's U18 national record with 2'22.68. She also got the silver medal in 200 m medley. Luna Chabat broke the 50 m butterfly women's U18 national record with 28'35. Micaela Sierra got the bronze medal in 100 m breaststroke. Frank, Chabat, Sierra and Catalina Sofía Gómez broke the 4x100 freestyle women's U18 national record with 3'59.62. Diego Sebastián Aranda, Juan Ignacio Saint-Upery, Guillermo Kalvermater and Mateo Gómez broke the 4x100 freestyle men's U15 national record with 3'46.90. Leandro Recoba broke the 200 m backstroke men's U15 national record with 2'12.61.

Olympics swimmer Enzo Martínez has retired from high performance at the age of 27.

I recall having read that COTA would lose government subsidies if there was a second race in the country. It seems that it's not a blocker.

Boxing loves to have too many weight classes. In my opinion the gaps should be not smaller than 8%.

In rugby, Los Teros defeated United States, and qualified to the 2023 World Cup. In football, the men's team drew Colombia and lost 3-0 to Argentina. Brazil is next. In handball, the women 's team finished 4th at the South and Central American Championship. Only the top 3 qualified, and out team drew 3rd and 5th place finishers Paraguay and Chile. In swimming, the men's under-18 waterpolo team is selling lottery tickets to fund their travel to the South American championship. One wonders what's the continental and world federations spending their budget on.

Indeed.

Thanks! I attended the match, here's my photos. Unfortunately, the other Uruguayans abroad had no luck this weekend.

The South and Central America Women's Handball Championship was held in Paraguay. Brazil (5 wins, 0 losses) Argentina (4 wins, 1 loss) Paraguay (2 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses) Uruguay (1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses) Chile (1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses) Bolivia (5 losses) Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay qualified to the 2021 World Cup. Uruguay was needing 1 goal to qualify, Chile was needing 4 goals.

The Women's World Series will also have just two rounds in Canada. And there will be just four teams: Canada, United States, Great Britain and France.
