So I couldn't sleep hence my posts at all hours of the morning. Here is the start list for today's final day of competition at the 2011 Pan American Games. My predictions: For the Men's Vault, I would love to see Luis Rivera (PUR), Diego Hypolito (BRA) and Enrique Tomas Gonzalez Sepulveda of Chile on the podium. For the Parallel Bars final, I would love to see Colombian Jorge Hugo Giraldo Lopez take out the title, with Mexican Daniel Corral Barron and American Paul Ruggeri III taking out the remaining medals on the event. For the Horizontal Bar, I would like to see Paul Ruggeri III triumph and win the gold, with Jossimar Orlando Calvo of Colombia and Alexander Rodriguez of Puerto Rico rounding out the medals. For the Women: On Balance Beam, I would love to see Guatemalan Ana Sofia Gomez Porras hold on for the gold medal, with Colombian Jessica Gil Ortiz and Canadian Kristina Vaculik rounding out the medals. And on the Floor Exercise, I would love to see Mexicans Ana Estefania Lago Serna and Elsa Garcia Rodriguez Blancas win a medal of some description, along with Canadian Mikaela Dawn Gerber.
