So what sports will we see A (top) level athletes competing in (like a majority of A level athletes)?

 

I guess all except swimming, artistic gymnastics, surf, basketball, football, volleyball, beach volleyball, road cycling, men baseball, tennis and golf.

 

In athletics, rowing and canoeing it's only USA and Canada not taking the best but they are the dominant countries in those sports.

In artistic gymnastics, only the US will not send their best gymnasts. In women's artistic, Biles will miss the event, but the other gymnasts are either from their A or B team, so the level will be good. In men's artistic gymnastics all of the guys are relatively unknown, but they seem to be decent. The other teams will be the best of the best.

Yes, but there are many injuries from top level gymnasts I think? I say it's not a great competition at this point.

I understand your point, but unfortunately there's nothing we can do about the injuries. Calvo, Gonzales, Andrade and Moreno will be missed, but the level will still be high even without them.

By the way, has Molinari retired? I hope he hasn't. All I want from this event if for him to earn a medal.

 lost two triathletes too injury (including Flora Duffy)... there goes their best (and possible only chance) at a medal.

I think the surf event may see some pretty good level competition (at least at the Pan Am level) from my understanding.

I just saw the results interface for Lima 2019, and lets just say this will be very good. Its the same as Toronto 2015 with Lima 2019 branding ofc.

Yes! I was a big fan of the Toronto 2015 results website. It was very good to say the least.

ESPN will offer major coverage (maybe even full?) of the games!!! I’m so excited that they’re finally taking this event seriously. I can’t wait to watch with my fellow American fans @bmo @dezbee2008 @catgamer @Rdbc @Maxim Fastovsky
