Nooooo! Natalia Gaudio wins according to the tie breaking system, but I believe Barbara deserved the medal more than Nartalia. Nooooo.

One of the Mexicans or Imbeau-Dulac will likely be left out of the final... probably the biggest shock in the competition.

Very well for the USA in their last dive. Too bad they let it all to their last attempt.
 
And Brazil will get a medal in this event. Congratulations to them @vinipereira @thiago_simoes
 
Excellent dive from the Canadians, but as with USA, those intermediate dives greatly hurt them.
 
And Mexico, thankfully, does good in their last dive, so it's another gold for this delegation.

Here's the top 10 medal table of the 2015 Pan Ams using events already competed here.
 
 
1.   Canada - 30 - 23 - 16
2.   United States - 26 - 22 - 28
3.   Cuba - 23 - 13 - 9
4.   Colombia - 15 - 6 - 19
5.   Brazil - 10 - 10 - 19
6.   Mexico - 7 - 14 - 18
7.   Venezuela - 3 - 12 - 8
8.   Argentina - 3 - 11 - 13
9.   Guatemala - 3 - 0 - 2
10. Chile - 2 - 2 - 5
 
Canada obviously took a hit in the gold medal column thanks to not sending its strongest team, but also suffering here are Cuba, Colombia and Venezuela. On the flip side Brazil, Mexico and Argentina are performing better, but Mexico is getting an extra boost due to the new events added to the program where they have currently won five gold medals from their current total of 17.

Even he was the best ranked athlete, this gold is one of the more surprising for me considering his bad results from the last several months.

I have made my opinion in the last 17 years. I'm not lying, Cuban sportspeople in general have no respect for sportmanship or fairness when things don't go the way they like.
Do I remind you the sad spectacle of Valodia's kick to the referee at the 2008 Olympic Games?
 
Like I say, there are a fair number of Cuban athletes whose performances speak for themselves, and which I admire, but in combat sports or appreciation sports I really don't support them.

Disgusting behavior by the cuban boxer in the final against Brazil 
 

I was taking a look at the historic medal table, and apart from  & , the countries that have been more time without any medals are:
 
 since 1979
 since 1995
 since 1999

Only 11 medal events today. Such an action-packed day
 
In comparison, the last saturday will have 71 events.
 

4 / 4 / 3 to top the medal table with our best performance ever in this sport.
 
Sadly, the women's team only managed to win those 3 bronzes, but that was expected after the many problems prior to competition.

Yes, with 2 seconds left and 3 points ahead the wise decision would be to stand there and allow the american to attack
 

Great day for Brazil in artistic gymnastics, already a better result compared to 2015 with apparatus finals still to come.

7 medals and 2 golds. What a tournament for Taekwondo. 

Disappointing end.  took the coward’s way out, but she is one gold medal richer so...

If I recall correctly, qualification tournament was in Nicaragua, that's how they got so many quotas. Now we see the reality...
 

From those, I only expected a bronze in Rugby sevens and maybe a bronze in Beach volleyball. Brazil is either not great at these sports, or have a weak team here (beach volley). You don't get a medal just for showing up.
