So FIBA Americas decided to run this tournament at the same time as the WNBA playoffs. Are they crazy?

China also played poorly at the World Cup qualifiers.

Uruguay ended the Pan American Games with 1 gold medal, 4 silver medals, 4 bronze medals, and multiple 4th place finishes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguay_at_the_2019_Pan_American_Games At the Parapan American Games, Uruguay got one gold medal (Henry Borges in judo) and one bronze medal (Gonzalo Dutra in swimming).

8 days until the Rugby World Cup!

There's plenty of action this weekend: Group 1 Brazil vs Barbados Venezuela vs Ecuador Uruguay vs Dominican Republic (featuring Pablo Cuevas) Pakistan vs India Lebanon vs Uzbekistan China vs South Korea Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Czech Republic Sweden vs Israel Finland vs Austria (featuring Dominic Thiem) Hungary vs Ukraine Slovakia vs Switzerland Belarus vs Portugal Group 2 Paraguay vs Mexico Guaemala vs Bolivia Indonesia vs New Zealand Hong Kong vs Chinese Taipei South Africa vs Bulgaria Denmark vs Turkey Egypt vs Slovenia Norway vs Georgia Meanwhile in Group 3, Greece features Stefanos Tsitsipas.

The winners get promoted, the losers get relegated.

Yesterday, Uruguay defeated South America XV, but played rather poorly. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:2019_RWC_warm-up_Uruguay_vs_Sudamérica_XV

On September 18-22, Uruguay will host the NBA G-League International Challenge, featuring six teams: NBA G-League Alll Stars, Uruguay All Stars, Bayern Munich (Germany), Flamengo (Brazil), Capitanes (México) and San Lorenzo (Argentina).

Dolores Moreira finished 4th in laser radial sailing. María Pía Fernández finished 5th at 1500 m running, and set a new national record. The women's hockey team finished 5th after losing to Chile and defeating Mexico. Basque pelotaris have medal duels pending.

The men's rowing team of Bruno Cetraro, Martin González, Leandro Salvagno and Marcos Sarraut won the gold medal at quadruple sculls :) Julián Schweizer won silver in longboard surfing. Athletes Emiliano Lasa and Déborah Rodríguez won bronze medals in athletics (long jump and 800 m).

Canada failed to qualify to the Pan American Games...

2021 FIBA Americas qualifying: Group A: Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela. Group B: Brasil, Panamá, Paraguay, Uruguay. Group C: Canada, Cuba, Dominican Republic, US Virgin Islands. Group D: United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Bahamas. The top 12 teams will qualify. The bottom 4 teams will play the Division B.

They are that good.

Lucas Fernández got our first bronze medal in boxing. Football, long jump, surfing and yachting are certain possibilities.

Quite a suspicious veredict, to say the least.

Some results at the Pan American Games: Shooting: Julieta Mautone finished 4th at 10m airgun. Marathon: Nicolás Cuestas finished 6th with 2:13'59, his personal best. Men's beach volley: the team advances to quarter-finals, where they will play Argentina. Kayak: Sebastián Delgado qualified to the K1 1000m final. He and Matías Otero also qualified to the K2 1000 final.

Meanwhile at the 24h Spa...

Indeed. Overlaps a bit with gymnastics.

I saw Uruguay's rugby sevens match versus Jamaica, and couldn't versus Chile because the official live stream failed repeatedly. We played horribly.

More fuel for conspiracy theories In 2015 and 2016, the Argentina women's national team always got better results than Peru, be it at South American tournaments, World Cup or World Grand Prix. Then the 2017 World Grand Prix, Argentina lost to Peru 3-1 and 22nd, one place behind. But Argentina got invited to the 2018 Nations League. They won just 5 sets in 15 matches and were relegated. At the 2017 South American Championship they lost to Peru 3-0 and Colombia 3-2. Months later they did win the South American qualifier to enter the 2018 World Championship, where they finished 19th. At the 2018 Pan American Cup, Argentina lost to Colombia and also ranked behind Peru. However, they got a wildcard for the 2019 Pan American Games, skipping any qualifier. Argentina also skipped any qualifier to enter the 2019 Challenger Cup and 2019 World Cup, as the world rankings were used as criteria. In fact, Argentina is ranked 11th, as they get many points for having qualified to the 2015 World Cup and 2016 Olympics. And they will keep their advantage over Peru and Colombia as long as they keep getting invitations to points-rich tournaments.

Uruguayan driver Santiago Urrutia will debut at the TCR Europe, also at Hungaroring.

The Finland player obviously clashes with the American goalkeeper, but the goal interference applies when the goalkeeper is inside the area. To judge that, I would need to know the rules properly.

Next weekend: Saturday 20 at the Madison Square Garden in New York: Terence Crawford vs Amir Khan (WBO welterweight title) Saturday 20 at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Los Ángeles: Danny Garcia vs Adrián Granados (WBC Silver welterweight)

Lomachenko knocked out Crolla in round 4, as Ramírez did to Karpency. Derevyanchenko won on unanimous decision. Munguia defeated Hogan on majority decision. De la Hoya knocked down Bernache. In women's boxing, Claressa Shields defeated Christina Hammer and is the undisputed middleweight champion.

Final standings: Argentina Chile Paraguay Ecuador Perú Uruguay The top 4 teams qualified to the World Cup.
