The first joy for the Argentine delegation at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games came from a team.

It was hand in hand with Los Pumas, who won the bronze medal in the rugby 7 tournament after beating Great Britain in the match for third place.

Now, on the 7th of the competition, it offers the possibility of supporting other sports as a whole, where handball, volleyball and men's hockey are played key games.

The first to appear on stage will be Los Gladiadores, who will star in a battle against Brazil.

This Thursday at 9 p.m., the usual final of the Pan American Games will arrive in Japan in which it will be the fourth presentation of Argentina, which accumulates three defeats (vs France 33-27, vs Germany 33-25 and vs Norway 27-23).

To those led by Manolo Cadenas, who will close the group stage against Spain, a new fall will leave them out of the Olympic Games.

In the early hours of Friday, the men's volleyball team will try to string together their second victory in Tokyo 2020. In the fourth match of group B they will collide with Tunisia from 4.25 in Argentina.

Already in the Argentine morning, meanwhile, Los Leones will play.

The Olympic champions added a painful defeat to India that complicated their aspirations and they will be forced to beat New Zealand.

In addition, Exequiel Torres will try to take Argentine BMX as far as possible when the semifinals get underway this Thursday at 10pm. And there will be sailing, boxing and swimming action.
