Political or not, the song is great IMO.

Surprised by Ecuador's debacle compared to 2015 (10 athletes, 2 golds). At least Lenin Preciado has a chance to repeat his gold medal.

Apparently this is only one of the four competitions that will count for the Pan American ranking (Pan American Cup next month is the last event). We'll have confirmation of the quotas in June.

Sportv (brazilian tv) had only 2 channels for the Games, so the choices were limited, in part because many sports weren't in the official broadcast service (like Handball, which we could only watch the final thanks to the argentine tv).

I knew about the other nations but I've never seen a canoe competition in Peru (I see now that the competition should be held in Cañete river).

And during competition too

Also, most Pan Am nations don't have a venue for this, and to make one is kinda expensive - and maybe useless in some cases? I haven't seen a single image of the Lima canoe slalom venue so far, which may be an indication that it's delayed.

After a new classification review, André Brasil (14 Paralympic Games medals, including 7 golds) is no longer eligible for paralympic swimming

Just because he's online doesn't mean his connection is good. For editing of tables and images you kinda need very good internet, otherwise you will waste an entire hour editing some basic thing you could have done in 5 minutes.

Well, GoT was never particularly famous for its writing, but lately there's so many eye-rolling moments I can't fully enjoy an entire episode. I mean...

Brazil actually gave points to Africa quite a few times? Just not for Algeria I think??

Brazil may be is in trouble for qualification (or any tournament this year) as in just a few days 6 players didn't accept the coach's invitation for the season (including Olympic champions Adenizia, Dani Lins and Thaisa - the latter announced that is now retired from the team). Some are speculating that this is some kind of boycott to the coach, since many players found his decisions "dubious" in the past.

After the brazilian championship, our Swimming team has been announced. Brazil is going to Lima with 35 athletes (18 men, 17 women). While the men's team is quite good (Pan Am champion Leonardo de Deus was able to qualify for Worlds but was left out here), the women's side is kinda weak. The list includes 3 of the 4 open water swimmers: Villarinho (who also qualified to the 1500m event, so his name counts for the max. 18 pool male athletes), Jungblut (another one who qualified for pool events) and Cunha. Another male marathon swimmer probably will be added to the list (for a total of 36 athletes) since there was a tie for second place in the trials (between Fernando Ponte and Allan do Carmo). Gold medalists in 2015 that will be back: João de Lucca, Brandonn Almeida, Bruno Fratus, Marcelo Chierighini, Luiz Altamir Melo, Guilherme Guido, Etiene Medeiros.
