In women's football Mexico was losing the final 0-1 to Costa Rica and then scored 3 goals in less than 4 minutes to win gold

Mexico still looking strong with 86 golds, 40 more than second place Colombia with 46 (Cuba has 38). 1st place seems very likely even if Mexico doesn't have a great second week. Also gets me thinking how well Mexico will do at the next Pan American Games compared to nations from the region, considering Cuba's decline.

Nothing confirmed yet but I see no reason why they wouldn't - other than save some money, of course Brazil participated in the Pan American Cup and South American Games even knowing that chances of qualification were very small.

The video can't be showed in my region, but Win Sports is also streaming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9qWcKmyv7I

Probably they couldn't arrive on time? But unlike 3x3 (which was simply given a walkover), the Handball match is currently rescheduled for July 30th - probably because this tournament will qualify for the Pan American Games and it would be terrible to lose a match for a reason like that...

Joanna Maranhão (Swimming) announced her retirement today. Probably our best female pool swimmer, she finished 5th in 400m individual medley in Athens 2004, the best placement obtained by a Brazilian woman swimmer at all times. Having won multiple Pan and South American Games medals (+ participation in 4 Olympic Games), she is also known for her social work, having inspired a law (against child sexual assault) with her name in Brazil.

A new host with only one year to go I hope everything turns out okay.

I don't know if this was commented here before, but the schedule indicates that we will have a new format in Basketball. Preliminary round goes from July 26th to August 3rd (9 days), with 4 matches per day all in the same arena. That would indicate 3 groups of 4 teams for each tournament, instead of the usual 2 groups of 6. If this happens, I wonder if they will use the same system of Women's Football with the two best 3rd placed teams qualifying to the quarterfinals

I think a playoff will be necessary between Canada and Brazil for the last spot. Of course Canada will win like 10-0, but technically they're not qualified yet

https://www.usada.org/jack-casey-accepts-doping-sanction/ I think it is the 5th case for american swimmers in less than a year.

Ricardinho (Volleyball), considered one of the best setters of all time, has announced his retirement last week. Among the titles, he was Olympic champion in 2004 (+silver in 2012) and world champion in 2002 and 2006.

Another kinda surprising result was Colombia being eliminated in women's football (and last in their group). I thought they could win the whole thing. Really bad year for this team.

What a debacle for Cuba!
