Ok guys, @mrv86 is having some major connection problems today and that's why the wasn't able to upload anything before (and that includes the videos/imagens of Opening Ceremony). Earlier he tried to edit the starting time of the OC (which was supposed to happen in the next hour or so), but it didn't work. He's trying to get a solution so that the contest goes as planned, even going to a new location if necessary!

Notable changes (some of which were discussed here) include: Swimming at the second week in the same days of Athletics; Judo being held in the last days, as Taekwondo goes to the first days; most Cycling events being held from the second weekend on; all Boxing finals in the first week; Women's Volleyball tournament after Men's (Peru might be fighting for gold after all). I think Toronto had some problems keeping the excitement for the second week (at the second Sunday, 233 out of 364 events had already been held). I don't think this will be a problem in Lima. In fact, the second week will be VERY busy.

Yes, but this was like 3 years ago?

Well, I think it's a very "artistic" sport that many people like to watch. Obviously I'm biased because in Brazil it seems very popular during the Pan Ams (open TV show the whole competition), maybe because Brazil wins the most golds in the team events. But it's like Figure Skating here (the most popular winter sport), which I don't think many people know how the scoring works, but watch it for the beauty?

I don't think they will. This seems like a sport people like to watch even when they have no knowledge of it?

Nations that didn't qualify anyone yet: Will they qualify anyone outside of Athletics/Swimming?

First quota for Haiti!

I hope Brazil send someone, but probably no one from the big stars will go.

Apparently Brazil can still participate according to our committee? Apparently we had/have some quotas in this event, but the federation maybe won't send anyone

Well, I guess the athlete had the right to compete, but they should've put him under some kind of "neutral" flag or something. For now, I've placed him under "PASO" in the first post.

Well, the post is for participating nations, so...

Now it is, just don't know where to place Curacao's quota in Karate

To my understanding, the song is eligible because of this rule: The song (released in August 2017) seems to be the first single from the album, which was released in 2018 and includes the song. So it's perfectly eligible unless I'm missing something.

The singer's album was released in 2018, so the song is eligible.

Like he said, this result was from the Birmingham World Cup, which was an all-around event

Also, maybe Brazil could be in a joint bid with Argentina and/or Colombia, arguably the three best teams in South America (sorry, Bolivia). But I think it will take more time to have a Women's World Cup in SA.
