Worth remembering from this episode
Ordered by what we think matters most.

pontoon, floating platform used as a starting docknoun (m)Los atletas esperan en el pontón antes de que suene la señal de largada.The athletes wait on the pontoon before the starting signal sounds.vamos
let's go, come on (used as encouragement or a call to action)expressionWhile literally the first-person plural present of 'ir', in Argentine Spanish 'vamos' functions as a multi-purpose encouragement shout at sporting events and in everyday conversation to cheer someone on or urge action. Its high frequency here as a crowd-cheer word gives it a specific energetic, sporting register.
¡Vamos, que ya falta poco para llegar a la cima!Come on, we're almost at the top!donación
donationnoun (f)Hicieron una donación muy generosa para ayudar a reconstruir el club.They made a very generous donation to help rebuild the club.arriesgar
to risk, to take a risk (in competition: to attempt a high-difficulty move)verbEn el último turno, decidió arriesgar con un truco difícil para subir su puntaje.In the last round, he decided to risk a difficult trick to raise his score.visualizar
to visualize, to mentally rehearseverbAntes de salir a la cancha, el jugador cerró los ojos para visualizar cada movimiento.Before going onto the field, the player closed his eyes to visualize every movement.no da
it's not cool, it doesn't work, that's not the thing to doexpressioncolloquialA very common evaluative expression in Rioplatense Spanish. 'Da' here comes from 'dar' used to mean 'to be appropriate or acceptable'. The opposite, 'da', means it is fine or acceptable. Widely used by young speakers to reject an idea or action as socially off or unsuitable.
Llegar tarde a una primera cita no da, realmente.Showing up late to a first date is just not cool, seriously.mirá
look, hey look (attention-getter or emphasis marker)expressioncolloquialThe vos imperative of 'mirar'. In Rioplatense Spanish, 'mirá' is extremely frequent as a discourse marker to draw attention, signal a shift in topic, or add emphasis. It often does not literally mean 'look at this thing' but rather functions like 'hey' or 'listen'. The written accent on the final syllable is characteristic of vos conjugation.
Mirá, no sé si es buena idea salir con este frío.Look, I don't know if it's a good idea to go out in this cold.me estás cargando
you're pulling my leg, you're kidding meexpressioncolloquial'Cargar' in Rioplatense Spanish means to tease or mess with someone. 'Me estás cargando' expresses disbelief, similar to 'you're joking' or 'are you serious?' The literal meaning ('you are loading me') gives no hint of this.
¿Ganaste el torneo sin entrenar? ¡Me estás cargando!You won the tournament without training? You're kidding me!
