I wonder why, if they increased quotas in other sports, couldn't they add a couple more individual spots, given that fencing has seen some growing in the continent during the last 5 years.

Especially modern pentathlon... increased in 2015 then 2019... Literally every country competing in qualifiers will compete in Lima. One of the most powerful sports admins used to be a modern penathlete (Ivar Sisniega) so no surprise there lol. Originally they had 5 individual fencers per event but CPE decided against it.

I know, it's excessive for modern pentathlon, just select best 20 athletes, max 2 per country... but as you said, Ivar Sisniega is one of the masterminds behind the program so no chance for a reduction there. I'm surprised about CPE decision tough

2019 Pan American games quotas

 

Men's Sabre:               +  Julian AYALA & Ricardo ALVAREZ

 

Women's Epée:               + Anabella ACURERO GONZALEZ & Sofia MCGOFF

What can I say? USA still lightyears ahead of their competitors; however, Argentina did great preventing a complete swept of the podiums, and obtaining other significant results. Canadians maintained their level, but the biggest dissapointments are Venezuela and Mexico; in concrete our men's sabre team finishing 11th .  Hopes this increases the backlash against our federation president and force him to resign.
