According to Wikipedia, the only nations that have yet to win a medal at the Pan American Games are:  

 

The following nations never won a gold medal:                    

 

Do you guys think any of this will change this year? I guess Bolivia has a chance at a Racquetball gold?

 

 

As @LDOG said, Bolivia has very good odds of winning their first gold in Racquetball.

 

If BVI sends McMaster to the Games they will also earn a gold medal in men's 400m hurdles.

 

Aruba has outside chances for a medal in women's laser radial and bowling.

Aruba likely won't compete in laser radial. They haven't qualified and I don't think they would get a wild card (they already have a quota).

 

Nicaragua might have a shot in bodybuilding.

Aruba has a good, If not great, chance in Bowling. Barbados has an outside chance in track cycling

Oh! I forgot. Aruba has a huge chance at gold in men’s RS:X

sadly did not receive a rowing reallocation spot. This likely means they (or ) will have the smallest team at the games....

 

and  all did, meaning 21 nations competing in rowing.

 

Tomorrow also starts the final karate qualifiers. Top two in each category along with top 5 in each kata team qualify.

Actually qualification tournament was held today, and according to Mexican NOC, they obtained 6 quotas out of 9 possible.

Does anyone has a list with the Karate quotas from yesterday?

 

I only know about Brazil's (3 individual + 2 Kata teams)

Starting next Tuesday, Mexican NOC will broadcast the last chance tournament for women's handball.

I think the ticket will be highly contested by all teams, except Guatemala.

[LDOG 2,418]

I think Canada has no chance either. 

 

Chile will get the ticket easily if they have their best team available.
