  1. By the way, the Uruguayan Olympic Committee website has not been updated in over 12 months. The COU has active accounts on Facebook, Instagram and X / Twitter, but the website only has a link to the first one.
  2. Uruguay claimed 2 golds, 5 silvers and 3 bronzes at the Pan American Games. This our second best performance ever (the best was 1963 with 4 golds).

  4. On Friday I found that the closest metro station to La Pintana was 5 km away from it... I went by taxi. It didn't accept cards, and I had no pesos, so I overpaid in dollars. I returned on bus with no issues. The stadium is next to three car junkyards (like the Peter Capusotto meme). However the Carabineros kept the place safe. The Teros won both Saturday matches, though they had already missed the semifinals. Anyway, I certainly enjoyed it more than the field hockey.
  5. Hi folks! Here I'm at Santiago de Chile. I've been to athletics, gymnastics and field hockey. Sadly I saw not a single Uruguayan competitor. The Estadio Nacional has a white coat of paint, but is otherwise in bad shape. The rhythmic gymnastics venue looks pretty, but accessibility is bad and there were roof leaks. The field hockey field is fine. However I missed a full quarter of Arg-Can trying to buy two drinks, as the venue had just two payment machines and one didn't work - it would have been much faster to walk 150m to the fan zone and return. After I got the drinks, the main grandstand was full. I walked to the north stands, where the net made it impossible to take photos. On top of that, a rather rude volunteer didn't let me take photos from the corner, despite being 5m above the field. Nothing unexpected I guess. Let's cross finger for tomorrow at La Pintana...
  6. So no terrestrial or cable TV coverage in Uruguay?
  7. The Uruguayan delegation will have a record 178 competitors in 28 sports, with 102 men and 76 women. https://www.montevideo.com.uy/Deportes/Juegos-Panamericanos-Uruguay-viajara-a-Chile-con-la-delegacion-mas-amplia-de-su-historia-uc867927
  8. The Pan American Games start in 9 days. The Uruguayan delegation will have 178 competitors in 28 sports, with 102 men and 76 women. https://www.montevideo.com.uy/Deportes/Juegos-Panamericanos-Uruguay-viajara-a-Chile-con-la-delegacion-mas-amplia-de-su-historia-uc867927
  9. In futsal, the women's national team competed at the Copa América. At the group phase, they claimed two wins against Chile 1-0 and Peru 10-5, and two losses against Argentina 4-0, Colombia 2-0. They lost the 5th place match against Paraguay 5-2.
  10. In rugby union, the Teros defeated Namibia 36-26 and was crushed by New Zealand's All Blacks 73-0. So they ranked fourth in the group, which was expected but not the desired goal.

  14. In rugby, the Teros are playing the World Cup. They lost to France 27-13 in a thrilling match. Their second match against Italy was 17-7 at halftime, but ended 38-17. The next two matches are against Namibia and New Zealand's All Blacks. In football, the men's club players have been on strike for two weeks and counting. Also, the Charrúa Awards have announced the nominees in 59 categories: https://www.montevideo.com.uy/Deportes/Premios-Charrua-Dieron-a-conocer-los-ternados-para-las-59-disciplinas-que-seran-premiadas-uc865938 The awards ceremony will be held this Monday.
  15. In swimming, three competitors broke multiple national records at the Junior World Championships in Israel. Angelina Solari broke the overalll record in 50 m breaststroke (21st with 28.02 s), and three under-15 records in 50 m freestyle, 100 m freestyle and 200 m medley. Diego Aranda broke the under-18 record in 50 m freestyle (17th with 23.24). Giuliana Pereira broke the under-15 record in 50 m backstroke.
  16. In handball, the women's national team got the final spot for the Pan American Games. In judo, Henry Borges was 5th at the IBSA World Games in J1 (fully blind). In athletics, Santiago Catrofe broke the South American record in 3,000 m with 7'37.15, whereas Adrián Nicolari was silver at the Ibero-America Under 18 Championships in 100 m with 10.87. In cycling, Eric Fagúndez the Vuelta a España. On stage 5 he led for 130 km, earning the combativity award. In rowing, Felipe Klüver / Mauricio López finished 15th at the Rowing World Championship.
  17. The Teros were amazing in the first half against Italy. In the second half the team just collapsed. Even if they lost two matches so far, they showed the world that they deserve to play tier 1 teams regularly.
  18. Last weekend, Uruguay won the repechage tournament at Santo Domingo. The venue was described as unfit for matches or training, with water leaks everywhere. USA quit their match against Uruguay when we were winning 12-2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF5Ats_1Hfg The Uruguayan federation has made no comments about the situation.
  19. I don't see any confirmation that it does.
  20. in the Athletics World Championships, Santiago Catrofe broke the men's 10,000 m national record with 28'28.49, in fact this was his first competitive attempt at the distance. Long jumper Emiliano Lasa did 7.72 m and missed the final round. In canoeing, Matías Otero will compete at the World Championship in Duisburg.
  21. In basketball, the men's national team lost to Bahamas 76-62, and is out of the 2024 Olympics. The national federation has been poorly managed for decades, and I don't see much progress other than hosting matches thanks to the new home-and-away format.
  22. In rugby, the Teros claimed a 33-13 win over Argentina XV. Also, the 33-player World Cup list is set. https://www.americasrugbynews.com/2023/08/21/uruguay-announce-competitive-roster-for-world-cup/
  23. In rugby, the Teros have won two pre-World Cup matches against Chile (26-25) and Namibia (26-18). Tomorrow they play against Argentina XV.
  24. In basketball, the men's national team is playing the FIBA Americas Olympic Qualifiers. They defeated Colombia 80-65 and lost to Chile 78-70. Today they play the Virgin Islands. In rowing, Cloe Callorda was bronze at the Under-19 World Championship. In sailing, Hernán Umpierre and Fernando Diz finished 24th at the World Championship. Dolores Moreira (ILCA 6) and Stefano Caiafa (ILCA 7) performed even worse.
