That's what you get if you only decide to follow 5-6 top US names all the frickin' time. NBC might not realize it but at the Olympics people actually want to follow the Olympics, not the 5-6 top dogs for two weeks.
 
It's like regular US TV, they only talk about the Lakers, Yankees or Cowboys. While at the Olympics people want to see the damn NY Jets and Sacramento Kings too!

South Korean broadcaster MBC, used images such as the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster to represent Ukraine, a Dracula for Romania, pizza for Italy, a riot for Haiti, a bitcoin poster for El Salvador and salmon for Norway at the parade of nations.

Gracias!!, lo mismo para ustedes, alentare a cada uruguayo que me toque ver.

¡Buena suerte, vecinos!

Loved his interview from the car at the end: "I can see all of these orange fans on the left now, all just coming to support McLaren."  

Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay qualified for South America.
 
Awful performance by Argentina.

At the South American Athletics Chapionship:
 
Emiliano Lasa (long jump) was silver with 7.94 m. María Pía Fernández (1500 m) was silver with 4'15.27. Santiago Catrofe (1500 m) was bronze with 3'38.67. Nicolás and Martín Cuestas (10,000 m) were silver and bronze with 29'38 and  29'47. Silvina Gil (high jump), who is 15 years old, had a best mark of 1.74 m, and broke the national under-18 record that Andrea Sassi had set in 1983 (!!!).

At the South American Swimming Championship, multiple Uruguayans broke national records.
 
Enzo Martínez (a Florida Gators alumni club member) tied for gold at 50 m freestyle with 22.44 s, which is a B mark for the Tokyo Olympics.

Helio!!!  

So this happened in between stages of the first ever Croatian WRC stage...
 
I'm curious where did this World Champion got his drivers license...
 

for the first time (at least as far as I remember) our basketball league made all the headlines here today! because last night the Iranian league champion was decided by this !
 
 

In athletics, María Pía Fernández got her personal best at 800 metres with 2'05.85 in Spain.
 
Emiliano Lasa won in Brazil with an excellent 8,11 m long jump.
 
In the Netherlands, Andrés Zamora did his personal best at the marathon with 2:14'18, but missed the Olympic mark. Nicolás Cuestas did 2:15'18, and Martín Cuestas retired with injury.

Absolute legend. RIP
 
 

Well there are  16  economies of at least a trillion $US in the world and Australia is on a median wealth per adult  the wealthiest  ( that is a trillion $US  with both Nominal and PPP GDP and median wealth not mean wealth. Australian wealth is widely spread )
It has handled the present pandemic better than any of the other 15 trillion dollar economy countries 
Australia cities have  a distinct lack of no go areas and very  few people live on the streets . This will make a pleasant change after Paris and LA .
Don't think many here are well travelled enough  if I may state the bleeding obvious 
2032 will follow a European and an American Games so a new continent is in order . IOC officials want competence , interest in sport  , a friendly comfortable relaxed atmosphere for athletes and visitors alike    (which certain  European countries have never had  and are probably incapable of having ) 
Financial competence is important -Australian cities have great existing facilities 
Etc etc 

A country finishing in the top 10 at every Summer Olympics since 1992 is irrelevant at the games?
 
Haha...

Marvin Hagler passed away at the age of 66.
 
Some people say the Hagler vs Hearns MW title fight from 1985 is the hardest-hitting boxing fight ever.
 
The Ring's Fight of the Year 1985 (lasted eight minutes).
 

Found an interesting document while surfing through the Olympic Library today. Link: https://library.olympic.org/default/digitalCollection/DigitalCollectionAttachmentDownloadHandler.ashx?parentDocumentId=472325&documentId=472326&skipWatermark=true&skipCopyright=true
 
This would seem to be the final report of a independent expert panel set up by the IOC to examine its human rights role, and suggest policy changes. Very interesting read. 

Jon Rahm hit a hole in one through water in practice! Obviously nobody would try this shot in real competition but this is pretty insane. I wonder if some golf movies will copy this into the script in the future?
 

Uruguay's National Sport Secretary has an annual budget of about US$ 15-20 million.

Argentina defeats the powerfull New Zeland All Black for 25 to 15, its the first time in history our country beat New Zeland in this sports.

At age 45 Helio Castroneves has finally won a championship (in WSCC)

Can’t be easy to get much training done in the Vatican.
