Live Blog - Wednesday 7th August
10:25pm - It's the U.S.!
The USA wreak revenge on Brazil for last night's men's relay defeat by winning tonight's maiden mixed event, Brazil led for much of the race, but the U.S. took it home with a strong swim from Nathan Adrian and Lia Neal.
It finished:
- USA 3:24.84
- Brazil 3:25.97
- Mexico 3:31.36
A first Pan American Games gold medal for Nathan Adrian and Team USA in the first ever mixed relay race at Lima 2019.
Nathan Adrian, Michael Chadwick, Lia Neal, and Margo Geer win gold in the first ever Pan Am mixed relay.
On a historic day in the water, the U.S. took 5/6 gold medals on offer.
Adrian: "We want to make people sick of the American national anthem"
After the mixed relay celebrations, Adrian had this to say - last night he said losing to Brazil would inspire Team USA:
“I was right, look at that. Yesterday was a good day and today was a great day. So hopefully tomorrow gets better and the next day gets better and better, I think we’re just getting started.”
His goal was simple:
“Keep winning. Make people sick of the American national anthem. That’s the goal.”
Was it a relief when the U.S. touched first after Brazil led for much of the race?
“No I’m more excited. Saying the word relief makes it seem like we had these crazy expectations or whatever but I try to block all that out.
“[I wanted to] really make it about the race that’s in front of me versus feeling the pressure. I’m old enough now to know that that doesn’t help me.”
And how is he feeling after his second race of the Games?
“It feels good. That was exciting in there [at the Centro Acuatico], there was a lot of energy. A lot of countries were having their chants and their songs and all that fun stuff. I really enjoy doing that.”
More swimming coming up mañana, check out what happens, as it happens, on tomorrow's live blog.

9:02pm - Game faces: Off
All this winning can become serious business but there's plenty of space for a few laughs too, here are a few photos of the athletes without their game faces on:

Third step on the podium is shared by Costa Rica and the United States.
7:59pm - Argentina eliminated after kit mix-up
Argentina showed up to their women's basketball group game with Colombia with the wrong shirt and have been forced to forfeit the game, which means they are out of the tournament.
There have been resignations in the Argentine camp, very sad for the players who train hard to get to tournaments like these.
Canada bounced back from their opening day defeat to Brazil with a win against Paraguay: 90-64
The USA eased past the Virgin Islands 103-55.
Brazil v Puerto Rico is coming up in just over 30 minutes, 9pm Lima time, that'll be a good game of ball.
Canada and Puerto Rico currently top their group while USA and Colombia are leading theirs.
7:45pm - Carl Lewis: "One problem"
We had Carl Lewis at the athletics stadium admitting there is one problem with Peru:
"Lima's been amazing, my first ever international event was here, the only problem is that the food is too good and I'm gaining too much weight!"
He was impressed by what he saw, "both 100m were outstanding," and Lewis handed out the medals to the winners.
He was full of praise again for the new facilities built for the Pan Ams:
"This is the best set-up and facility I've ever been to. The world needs to see more of Peru, I'm looking forward to coming back"
His final words on the PA system received a big roar: "Thank you everyone, keep cheering 'em on!"

Second and silver goes to USA's Jordan Geist who through 20.67 and bronze is property of Mexico's Uziel Muñoz Galarza.
One of the images of the day:
6:19pm - "I'm gonna cherish this gold medal" - Mike Rodgers
We also caught up with Mike Rodgers after his 100m win.
"I'm very good, my race was ok, not one of my better starts today but, I stayed focused and went through my phases, had a great transition to top end, won the race very comfortable, got my first Pan Am medal at my first Pan Ams and it was gold, it was very sweet and I'm very very happy."
The 34-year-old U.S. sprinter won his first outdoor individual gold medal.
"This is my first outdoor individual medal and to be at the Pan Ams on a big stage is very good, it's a blessing for me. I'm going to cherish this gold medal."
Despite the gold medal, Rodgers won't be going too crazy on the celebrations:
"I can't celebrate too much, I have the Diamond League finals and the World champs coming up, and tomorrow I want to celebrate double gold."
6:01pm - Thompson building up to Worlds
Elaine Thompson spoke to Olympic Channel after her women's 100m triumph:
OC: Congratulations!

OC: How are you feeling before the World Champs?
ET: I don't have any world championships title, I came second in 2015 in the 200, 2017 I came 5th, so I came out here to build up to the worlds.
OC: You, Shelly-Ann, Natoya, is this the strongest women's Jamaican team you've ever seen?
ET: Ya, I've seen some strong teams, but I think we're strongest here.
5:42pm - First world record at Lima 2019
It's taken until Day 11, but a world record has fallen at the Pan American Games 2019 here in Peru.
USA Archer Brady Ellison took aim at the previous record shooting 702 from a possible 720 in the men's recurve
That beat the existing mark of 700, which was set by Kim WOOJIN (KOR) at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, and makes Ellison only the second recurve archer in history to break the 700-point barrier.
While some of the Caribbeans were shivering in the 17 degree temperatures at the athletics stadium, the weather was perfect for archery.
“I’ve been shooting good enough and I had the weather to do it and it’s nice to finally get it.”
“Boom, boom, boom, I shot 10, 10, 10 for the first three arrows. I was like, 'alright, just three good arrows. You’re not going to miss the gold'
Brady is a three-time Pan American Games gold medallist and is aiming at a fourth in Lima.
“This week I want the gold medal,” he said.
He'll take on Argentina's Kevin Sabado in the men's recurve individual 1/16 elimination round on Friday 9 August.
5:29pm - Long jump: Gold for Cuba's Echeverria
8.27m in his fourth jump was enough to give Cuba's long jump star Pan Am gold.

5:15pm - Equestrian: Brazil jump to Pan Am gold
Eduardo Menezes, Pedro Veniss, Rodrigo Lambre, Marlon Modolo Zanotelli secured gold on Day 12 in the team jumping event with Mexico second.
It was a team jumping bronze for Team USA, as Eve Jobs stood on the third step of the podium with Alex Granato, Lucy Deslauriers, and experienced Olympic champion Beezie Madden.
Jobs was smiling on her mare Venue d`Fees des Hazalles after her performance on the first day, but she was, as she said, very nervous before.
“I was a little nervous because I wanted to do my best for my team and for myself. Luckily, my mare was great, I can't be happier for that,” she said.
On Day 11, Tuesday 6th August, Jobs went through the 13 obstacle 570m course in 71.16 seconds to place 6th in the first qualifying round of individual jumping.
“It was my first time participating in the Pan American Games and my first time in Lima. It has been great and I hope it continues like this,” declared Jobs, who studies at Stanford University.
On her second day of performance, Eve helped the team bring home bronze.
Jobs was full of praise for her 14-year-old Belgian Warmblood mare, Venue d’Fees des Hazalles, after her second day of riding:
"I think my mare jumped fantastically and, although I could not jump two fences too well, I did it the best possible. I could not ask my mare for more.”

2:56pm - Table tennis: No sister act final
Today's semi-finals featured two teenage sisters from Puerto Rico, Melanie and Adriana Diaz (18) both came through yesterday's quarter finals.
The two made history when they won the doubles gold medal together yesterday.
The sisters overcame the top seeded United States partnership of Wu Yue and Lily Zhang (7-11, 11-8, 10-12, 11-7, 6-11, 11-8, 11-8) to seal the title and bring unbridled joy to their faithful supporters.
This was Melanie's reaction when she beat Mexico's Yadira Silva 8-11, 8-11, 11-8, 11-8 y 11-5, 10-12 and 12-10 in her quarter final yesterday.
"The family is super happy," said Adriana yesterday, " who would have thought we'd achieve this in the Pan Americans. My mother must be... Today she'll pay for lunch!"
"I would love to play her in the final," Adriana carried on, "although there would be some contrasting feelings. If we do meet, I'll be out to bury her, same as she will be with me."
But there'll be no sister act final as Melanie has lost to USA's Yue Wu, 4-2.
Adriana however, will advance to the final after her 4-0 semi-final victory over Brazil's Bruna Takahashi, where she'll face Wu.
The men's final will be contested by Brazil's Hugo Calderano and Wu Jiayi from the Dominican Republic.
2:41pm - "I have glass pieces in my body"
“I am sad, I have a few pieces of glass in my body right now that I need to get taken care of,” Alvaro Beltran told Olympic Channel after losing the racquetball final to compatriot Montoya.
"The momentum changed after the accident," continued Beltran who won the first set, "that gave him a spark to come back and change the game. All the credit to him.”
Montoya said: "I focused more on my serve, it worked and finally I was able to win the match”
"It was a dream come true because it is the first time a Mexican has won a gold medal in men’s singles," added Montoya.
Beltran also told us that he will play on in the team event.
2:35pm - Together we go further
Some great wall art up for the Lima 2019 in la Videna too.
The slogan reads 'Together we go further'.
Just to the right is the aquatics stadium and to the left the athletics where we'll see six gold medals awarded.
There's an extra incentive for the running events, the 100m for example, as Carl Lewis will hand out the medals.
2:15pm - LA VIDENA
The National Sports Village LA VIDENA is the sports complex purpose-built for the Lima 2019 Pan American Games and it's very impressive in first person.
Boasting three 'polideportivo' all-purpose stadiums, an aquatic centre with an Olympic pool, a velodrome, and a bowling centre.
Handball, Judo, artistic skating, badminton, table tennis, track cycling, artistic swimming, diving, swimming, bowling and all the athletics disciplines have been held within walking distance of each other.
Even Carl Lewis was impressed and Barcelona 1992 gold medallist Leroy Burrell said:
“We visited the stadium and I think it is impressive. There’s no national stadium in the United States like the one you have here (in Peru). It’s something to be proud of,” said Burrell.
Here's the map:
2:02pm - Damian Warner makes a statement
Canada's Damian Warner takes the the first 110m hurdles in the men's decathlon.
He goes 13.68s ahead of Canada teammate Pierce Lepage who clocked 14.15.
Warner is the Rio 2016 decathlon bronze medallist and defending champion from Toronto 2015.
Remember, the decathlon covers ten events, an amazing skill set required.
Strong start to the day.
Cuba's Leonel Suarez wins the second heat, going 14.81.
1.37pm - Mexico racquetball double!
Ok, we already knew that because both men's finalilists are Mexican, but that was dramatic.
Montoya cruises in tiebreak 11-0 to take gold.
Alvaro Beltran smashed the glass wall earlier in the game and was clearly injured.
He gets a silver lining and a lot of kudos from the crowd.
12:55am - Glass smashed in racquetball final!
Alvaro Beltran took the first set over Rodrigo Montoya 15-9, then crashed into the glass, smashing it!
He gets up gingerly but unclear if he'll continue.
He's talking to officials now.
He does carry on, and we have a change of court.
Resuming at 6-2 in favor of Montoya in second set. Montoya wins set 15-6. Decider coming.
11:41am - Racquetball gold for Longoria
Mexico has a chance to sweep all four racquetball gold medals today, and they've made a good start!
Racquetball royal Pao Longoria wins the women's singles 15-7, 15-9 over Maria Vargas of Argentina.
Men’s singles is a guaranteed gold for el tri (Mexico's nickname comes from their flag - the tricolour) as the men’s singles final is an all-Mexican matchup.
They are also in the two doubles finals with a clean sweep on the cards.
11:24am - Track cycling: First gold medal of the day!
Rio 2016 team pursuit sillver medallist Chloe Dygert Owen has won the women's individual time trial.
The 22-year-old U.S. cyclist is already a 5-time world champion and adds Pan American gold to the collection.
Her time of 23:36.51 is comfortably better than silver medallist Teniel Campbell from Trinidad & Tobago who completed the 18.5km course in 24:50.24.
Dygert Owen looks in great shape after suffering a head injury last year.
Canada’s Laurie Jussaume takes bronze in 26:27.15.
11:09am - Big shots
Here are a few of the finest snaps from yesterday's action.
In the women's hockey semi-finals Argentina defeated Chile 3-1 to make the final, and they'll face Canada who overcame the U.S. 2-0.
Also featured here is Eliza Stone who won women's fencing gold in sabre, Argentina's Maria Perez took silver.
Colombia won their first women's basketball match against the Virgin Islands, 69-63, and the USA topped Argentina 70-62.

Ready for more collective and solo glory today?
Here's the Brazil team showing how it's done in rhythmic gymnastics:
What to look out for on Day 12
Cuba's 'Black Panther' Juan Miguel Echevarria in the final of the long jump at 3:35pm today, the young rising star could become best on the continent.
Remember when he nearly cleared the pit in 2018?
Pan American Games 2019 Women's 100m
The women's and men's 100m marquee finals are also up, in the absence of big guns like Justin Gatlin, Noah Lyles and Christian Coleman, there's an opportunity for others to shine.
The two fastest women in the world decided to troll live bloggers by trading places right before the start of the 100m semi-finals yesterday, Tuesday 6th August.
Reigning Olympic champion Elaine Thompson ran the 100m semi-final and was the fastest qualifier finishing in 11.36sec.
Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce will run the 200m semi-final on Thursday. Or at least that's the plan.
Trinidad and Tobago’s Michelle-Lee Ahye recorded an 11:37 just behind Thompson, but anyone beating Rio 2016 champ Thompson would be a big shock.
Men's 100m Lima 2019
The fastest man in the semi-finals was Brazilian Rodrigo Pereira Do Nascimiento who clocked 10.27secs.
But it's a tight field with Pereira's Brazilian teammate Paulo Andre Camilo de Oliveira, USA's Michael Rodgers, Antigua's Cejhae Greene and another U.S. sprinter Crayvon Gillespie all in the mix.
In other athletics events we'll see men's shotput, men's decathlon, men's long jump, and the women's 800m with Jamaica's Natoya Goule being the clear favourite.
Table tennis finals
There's a Tokyo ticket each there for the taking for the winners of the men's and women's finals, the semi-finals start at 10am and the finals are in the evening: 7:30-8:30pm.
Equestrian jumping final
We'll see medals tomorrow in equestrian jumping. Eve Jobs is out to make the individual final, her two-time Olympic champion teammate Beezie Madden is leading the individual from the 1st qualifier.
The 2nd qualifier starts at 10am this morning, as does the jumping team round 1 and the team medal final starts at 2pm.
Road racing begins at Lima 2019
Men's and women's time trials are sure to get the blood pumping on Wednesday, women's starts at 9am, the men's at 11.
Fencing
Women's Epee and men's sabre takes the stage today, the competition begins at 10am and culminates in champions being crowned - women at 6:10pm and men at 6:45pm.
Greco-Roman wrestling
We'll see medal events throughout the day from 60kg up to 97kg.
Archery begins tomorrow, as does women's volleyball while women's basketball enters its second day, basque pelota gets closer to the medals stages, and rowing, sailing, and women's softball continue their march towards the podium.
Set it to lock on the live blog to keep up with the best of the action.
MEMES!
We've selected a few funnies from the Lima 2019 Pan American Games that made us giggle.
Hope they make you do so too!
