Nice gold for Brazil in individual rhythmic gymnastics. Was this unexpected @thiago_simoes?

Nice fight for first place between and , and for third with and . They're all too close, so things will probably change inside this top 4. probably secured 5th place today, and should be 6th by the end.

And here's another entry to the "never celebrate too early" list

Stephanie Balduccini (Swimming) won 7 gold medals and will probably be the biggest medalist at these Games.

Hugo Calderano is always eliminated by a chinese, no matter how far he goes. But QF is already an amazing feat (best ever for a brazilian, just like at the Olympics).

Brazil is doing amazing in Swimming at these Latin... I mean, Pan American Games.

"Palmeiras doesn't have a WC title" is probably the longest running joke among brazilian football fans. Of course I want them to win, but I'm fine as long as the team keeps achieving stellar results like this.

So sad that latin american multi-sports games still use this outdated results system. And while I appreciate Canal Olímpico do Brasil broadcasting this, it's extremely frustrating not having results at all (even the commentators have to wait for some updates from the reporter).

Sadly the level of competition was even worse than I thought.

I was probably more happy for him winning a silver medal with that last trick than the brazilian winning a very predictable gold.

Of course I'm not the biggest football follower, but sometimes I look at the brazilian squad and I can't recognize half of these guys.

Gotta love african football

David Moura (Judo) World silver medalist and Pan Am Games champion, never got a chance to be an Olympian thanks to Rafael Silva competing in the same weight class.

Além da popularidade dela como você lembrou, também acho que contaram os resultados pós-olímpicos dominantes. Mas concordo que Martine/Kahena mereciam mais, afinal ouro olímpico deveria ser o primeiro critério. Não sei ao certo (alguém talvez saiba mais sobre o caso), mas acho que a confederação de canoagem tava com uns problemas sérios? Escolho Isaquias porque historicamente acho que o ouro dele foi o mais importante, mas se for por emoção acho que vibrei mais com Ítalo (primeiro ouro nosso em Tóquio) e Hebert (a forma que ele ganhou foi inacreditável).

AmeriCup Men Women

I don't think it's possible they will deduct points from Brazil, but some expect the points to be awarded to Argentina.

It's sad that we kept hoping that Isabel Clark would improve her results in the next editions, when clearly that 9th place was a once in a lifetime thing.

Rebeca e Isaquias devem vencer facilmente, né?

Yes, but I think Brazil and USA wouldn't have send athletes anyway, so the level would be quite low. Now we'll have some Olympians competing, including Rosa and Angelo Caro.

It's sad that nobody is talking about this competition in Brazil but Pâmela Rosa participation should bring some attention. It's funny that nations didn't care to send anyone to Skateboarding at the main Pan American Games two years ago in Lima to the point that the sport had to be pulled from the programme. Also funny is that Rosa should be one of the oldest athletes competing here at the age of 22.

Logistx is a great name

Especially because in the WC there's no limit of 2 per country

(and to think that before the Olympics someone criticized the fact that D'Almeida name was in the prediction contest, calling him an "unknown" )
