with reserve Santiago Vera Feld On the contrary Santiago Mareinjury, Pumas They went for him Seventh place in front America Perry Baker, the historic North American athlete, will retire from the Olympics (he won six in Paris and 10 at the Games).
With the biggest players from the start for the first time at the Games, Santiago Gómez Cora’s team took the field for their last performance. Revol’s departure was long and he didn’t reach Iscro, which was the summation of what the team was all match. Possession went to the North side who were one step away from scoring, but Lucho Gonzalez saved the try with a wild tackle.
The game was plagued by lapses in possession by both teams. Baker was reprimanded and the opportunity was clear. The Pumas were patient as “Dude” Osatchuk opened the scoring with a 7-0 run at the end of the first period. The final seven minutes in Paris began with numerical superiority. Opening Argentina, Iscro gets it down with both hands. Pumas came from deep and scored again. “Tute”, the SITAS man, supported twice and established himself as the best Argentine of the Games (14-0).
With 3 minutes left in the game, the legend, Gaston RevolLeft the team after an extensive career, more than a hundred positions on the circuit, three Olympic games and more than 1,000 points in the shirt of the national team, he later joined to play a minute.
Mendoza’s Isgro’s effort was a relief. Seventh place confirmed (19-0). Rodrigo is one of those who will be saying goodbye to fifteen more to dedicate himself to rugby. The result was a different face.
The Pumas 7s finished seventh, a bittersweet spot because of the way they arrived. One position, in short, reflects the current situation of how the team arrived in France. Paris is now history for Las Pumas 7s. Nothing will take away all the good they did on the previous path. Sometimes, team moments don’t align with a medal-limited calendar, and that was clear in Paris.
• Pumas 7S and unknown closure in Paris
The Olympic flame went out and unfortunately Argentina rugby was not as expected. It looked like a Mike Tyson right cross to the chin. The fall was huge and moved to the depths of the heart. But as the Sevens were and there was no respite, this group, which had come to Paris as candidates, had to meet the last act; You have to wake up the day after being out of contention for medals. Up front, in motion, there was none other than the All Blacks, who then made a last-ditch effort against the United States.
How curious, right? World Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are out of the fight for the podium.. The thing about this game is that it is so competitive and equal that there are no safe candidates until the umpire gives the order to start play.
Then why is Argentina not on the Olympic podium?
Because he hasn’t done anything he’s done in nearly two years to reach the top of the World Tour.. Disorganized at the start, without good reception in line and scrum, even rucks are not guaranteed. Their strength was timely stumbling and their rivals read them well and did not forgive them.
Not even wins against Kenya And Samoa They left good feelings from the first day of the tournament. Pre-competition Australia It was going to be the thermometer of the match as the pressure was on from the Aussies, who overcame their indomitable heart to overcome every adversity, surprising a team that had no answers and no answers.
Crossing before France So it was important. With the same handicaps as the previous match, there was no tie in the first round. A score of 0 out of 21 seemed decisive. But sports shame and pride got too much for this team, and with a score of 21 to 14 there was one more chance. But in those decisions that passed seconds, this time they chose poorly, giving them returns and victories several times, this time with an individual act that opened the game and left them with what they so dreamed of. Possession was recovered by France to put the cold shoulder towards the end of the match and, to top it all off, DuPont ran out the final score 26-14 with a try for the semi-final.
Today it arrived New Zealand, and it’s the same unknown face of the team. In fact, two “different” teams were seen on the field as the two selected teams did not even play 30% of their potential. Within that harsh reality, Los Pumas 7s survived again not because of their opponent’s virtues, but because of their own shortcomings in extra time (17-12). The team was upset, something that could be clearly seen on the field, without a doubt, by their faces and their gestures, that they were not satisfied or comfortable with what they had done.
Completion before that America Just for statistics, the seventh place no one came looking for. This team came to Paris looking to win a medal that was as distant as their performance on the field.
Los Pumas 7s can’t be faulted all the way, but their version at these Olympic Games can be faulted. Clarifications between campus and staff should be corrected for upcoming issues. The future task of “A Family” is to present again a new, fast, happy and infectious version, which unfortunately did not appear in France.
The same goes for the Olympics, which don’t forgive even the smallest of spills. The Pumas 7s are not what they have been in recent times, and the demands of the competition inevitably make them feel that way.
This result ends a successful cycle for Argentina Rugby (2016-2024) who did not qualify.. We have to mix and give again. This is the same team they listed as worthy of a comeback, their energy intact and that mystique that made them number one in the world for two seasons.
Although reality tells us that today from Paris, Las Pumas 7s left with sadness and pride…
