The safe choice, I don't think Paraguay is capable of hosting such a big event, Just too much money and infrastructure to build for such small country. A big gap with South American games.

I already said this, PAG won't last long. There's just not enough interest to justify the investment. I see a future with only SAG and CACG standing on this side of the world or maybe PAG survives with some form of multiple country hosting.

 

 

I think this will go to Sao Paulo. Read some mentioning Miami since pan am sports is there.

Barranquilla confirmed as the 2027 Pan American Games host.

 

Colombia has failed to pay the first installment to ODEPA. Strong rumors of withdrawal already.  

 

Some say Paraguay has interest in hosting but I think that's very unrealistic.

Are non Olympic sports getting axed for 2027?

 

And what about non olympic events (like some classes in sailing or handing out golds for every apparatus is RG)?

It is highly likely that :ARG will win more gold medals tomorrow than what they won in the previous two weeks as a whole.  

  

The bad part... nobody will pay ANY attention to it because of the stupid Copa Libertadores final. In fact, if Boca Juniors wins it, it's very likely that the only tv broadcaster of these games will focus their programming entirely on the celebrations and skip coverage of most of the finals here :facepalm:we'll have to watch through their shitty app.

We have always been weak in water polo, but our current level is bizarre.

There was an effort for the home olympics but that was it.

It's one of those sports where it's almost pointless to try to break into the elite if you aren't part of it already.

Just found out Chile will play the women's football final without a natural Goalkeeper because the two they had have been called back by their european clubs. They knew Endler was leaving but were confident the substitute would be granted permission to stay but nope.

  

Incredible mismanagement from the coach.

For people who wonder where :ARG

lost those 10 golds...

 

4 in Rowing: majority of rowers retired due to age.  

 

4 in Swimming: Bardach (1) and Pignatiello (3) retired, the latter at just 21 years of age.  

 

1 in TKD: Guzman won silver this time.  

  

1 in Boxing: Leonela Sanchez retired.

At last year’s Women’s and Men’s Field Hockey Pan Am Cup, Chile won silver behind Argentina. 

I think he thought you were talking about Cuba.   

  

  

About Chile: I also think they have good chances in Golf.

Losing the Beach Volleyball semifinal against a brazilian team that wasn't doing great probably wasn't expected. But fighting for 5th in the medal table is pretty great (of course the schedule probably won't be that favorable for them once track and field starts).

They jammed most of their good sports at the start (I guess to make more hype and get the public to attend), but I still feel like they have come a bit short in terms of wins?

In Taekwondo they made one of our girls fight a whole round against the wrong opponent. They suspended the bout midway and had to start the men's final early...

Lmao only 4 of the 10 biggest markets will have live tv broadcast if I understood correctly.  

 

I know this is 2023 and there's streaming and bla bla but this just shows the decadence of the event.

 

I think SA and CAC games have more of a future ahead compared to PAG...

I'm pretty sure there'll be at least one gold not listed here but I opted to not list potential big upsets. Overall, I expect between 15 and 22 golds.

ah yes well I didn't understand the question! I thought it was personal desires

You understood well, it's just that the title is ambiguous: it says "you will add if your country hosts" (which could be interpreted as if you were personally in charge of the decision) when I think the intention was to say "what sports do you think your country would add if they were to host".

There isn’t much government funding for athletes in the US, so I guess we already solved that problem :p

Obviously I meant countries that have no private sector to rely on for funding sport. Basically most countries in the continent.

NOCs really don't want quotas this cycle :facepalm:

 

I wonder how much of it has with this being at the start of the offseason for many athletes? Plus, the very saturated multi-sports games calendar this year...

 

Edit: I would be quite sad for the girls. I thought they looked good (relative to the region) at the CAC Games. They aren't a team that will challenge for the podium, but they aren't going to embarrass their nation either.

Post-covid world governments finally realizing that using taxpayer money to fund the 30th best athlete in the americas is pointless. Was about time.
