It's to avoid conflict with the World Aquatics Championships, especially among the other disciplines since they act as the continental qualifier to the Olympics.

 

Still would it be the end of the world if athletics was on the first week?

Yea I agree, athletics should be the first week of competition, now that leaves no marquee sport in the first week.

And now many matches (mostly from Group A) haven't been played because climate. Not great they chose Sao Paulo as hosts in the month that rains the most in the city

Volleyball qualifiers for the Olympics will happen at the same time of the Pan American Games, so we can expect a subpar competition (more than usual) with many B/C teams - I wouldn't even be surprised if Brazil and other nations send some kind of youth team. Nice opportunity for Peru to try a gold medal here (Women's)?

And in men's Cuba will take the gold. They desisted from participation in OQT after all...
