Mexico in third place with its best performance by far (37 gold, 36 silver and 63 bronze medals) with the highest total in Pan American Games history, so for me these were a great Games to follow.

 

But all in all, I think Pan Am Sports needs to restructure the Games and its events. I understand each edition they try to give away some medals to the host country... but in true, I think what must be done before adding events just to increase numbers, is to reinforce participation in those events in the Olympic program, and then, those who are popular across the continent.

A total of 55 !! new events were contested here. It seemed like every sport that asked got what they wanted. This is not sustainable, and Santiago 2023 already will have less of a program.

Curious enough, 1995 Games remain the one with most events (432).

Now the Santiago 2023 handover ceremony...

 

Nothing can be worse then the handover ceremony from 8 years ago

well, Argentina lost in the end with Cuba for just one gold........a little sad for that, in other hand, is the best Argentinian performance outside  our country, Argentina won 15 golds en Toronto 2015 and in Lima our country wins 32.....a little diference.

Bolivia just can't get a gold medal at the Pan Ams, not even in Racquetball. I've lost all hope in a gold medal for Bolivia and Paraguay, and a medal at all for Aruba, for that matter (unless something crazy happens in sailing, or maybe even in swimming).

 

Well, everything happened so fast! 

Let's see if this works again: I've lost all hope in becoming millionaire by tomorrow.
