Now Portugal, wow!

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.

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.

I don't see any confirmation that it does.

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.

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.

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/

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.

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.

In athletics, Manuela Rotundo was gold in javelin at the at the Under-20 Pan American Championship with 55.49. Also, 17-year-old Gonzalo Gervasini was silver in 1500 m with 3'51.79 (under the rain). Meanwhile, Juan Pedro Álvarez did 11.13 s at 100 m and 21.72 s in 200 m. Also in athletics, the World Championship will featur six Uruguayans: Valentín Soca (5,000 m), Emiliano Lasa (long jump), Santiago Catrofe (10,000 m), and Nicolás Cuestas, Andrés Zamora and Cristhian Zamora (marathon).

We have mathematical chances...

Even professional singers struggle to sing the anthem.

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.
