Official recommendation from our Olympic Committee to all federations is to send young athletes to all sports, although that's not an obligation and some sports might send the "A" team (unlikely for the big sports except maybe Athletics), especially the ones where Brazil is not that good like Fencing. Our young Judo team was announced:

 

Men's

Robson Penna (-60kg)
Michael Marcelino (-66kg)
David Lima (-73kg)
Tiago Pinho (-81kg)
Giovani Ferreira (-90kg)
Leonardo Gonçalves (-100kg)
João Cesarino (+100kg)

 

Women's

Larissa Farias (-48kg)
Larissa Pimenta (-52kg)
Gabrielle Gonzaga (-57kg)
Gabriella Moraes (-63kg)
Bruna Campos (-70kg)
Laislaine Rocha (-78kg)
Luiza Cruz (+78kg)

Argentina is sending a B team in swimming because the NOC denied funds to the swimming federation to make special altitude training for this competition.:(

Is that confirmed?, i read that from Ernesto Rodriguez but i dont see it from another journalist.

These games will be bad though, all the venues are either bad or unfinished + the altitude that will make things hard for many athletes.

 

It's important to rotate countries, but if someone is just not capable of hosting there's no way around it.

Is an unacceptable understimation of this tournament from the Brazilian NOC......but is just my opinion.

Do people in South America really care about the South American Games? I mean, at the time of the European Games really nobody did apart from a few die hard fans, and it never felt like a major competition..

It depends. If you're hosting, you care. But to be fair, in Colombia it has to compete for attention the same years where we go to the games that have Cuba. I'd even say the Bolivarians get more attention because they're seen as a battle against Venezuela and as a measuring stick. 

 

The Panams do matter tho, which are more akin to your European example.

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. 
    • Roki Sasaki has been posted for MLB transfer. Dodgers vs everyone else Part 175?
