Even though he's on the list (and would be one of the biggest stars in the Games), Justin Gatlin won't go to Lima anymore. Don't think he'll be replaced, so that makes 642 athletes for USA.

 

I didn’t even see his name on there, where did you see that he won’t go

Brazilian site asked his agent, who said he will focus on World Championships. It's not a great loss since he would only compete in the relay, but the organizing committee must be pissed.

Yeah that sucks for them, but there are plenty of other successful Olympians at the games to highlight.

@vinipereira  643

 

And the number already drops to 642... Endel Ots had to withdrew, and it's too late to ship the reserve.

Also Mexico with two withdrawals, one of them Juan Luis Barrios in men's 10,000m where he had a chance to add another medal to his count  

 

Official number for Mexico is 541.

And lets keep this train moving... two of  athletes withdrew, McBride (800m, possible gold medal favourite) + Ellenwood in the heptathlon.

641 actually. Gatlin isn’t going either.

To continue the announcements, I myself will NOT be attending the Pan American Games to repeat my appearance at the 2015 Games.

Not sure... I think it could be in cycling or karate. Those are the sports which I noticed are using less athletes than those qualified.
