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.

Of course, I'm a Wikimedia after all. The problem is that the cheapest cameras I can find here are US$ 800. In Mercado Libre I do see some US$ 300 cameras, but those don't come with the original box, so I don't trust the seller's 6-month warranty.

No, I hate sea water (and the River Plate is much less salty than ocean water). I did compete nationally in high jump, but never got any close to qualify to the South American championship.

I'm going to the games! It's my first time at a proper multi-sport event.

Yes. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuario:NaBUru38/Artículos_creados#Otros_deportes

So 15 of the 32 world championship teams will be selected by the world ranking. That's awful. The 5 continental champions will qualify to the Olympics. That's good, but could be better.

That's my case. I've created more Spanish Wikipedia articles than I can update regularly.

In field hockey, the Cimarronas are hosting a friendly tournament with Chile and Wales. They claimed two wins, one draw and one loss, and finished runner-up to Chile on aggregate goals.
