So that makes three south american cities in a row, which have never happened before. Guess the north american nations are not interested anymore.

Realistically only 3 can host in North America atm, and two just hosted within the last 10 years + USA busy with 2028 and possibly a SLC winter bid. Interest would be lukewarm. Though rumours were Montreal were interested, but I guess not.

Hopefully neither tbh. Commonwealth Games are pretty much a dead event after 2022 and there is no "need' for WOG in Canada atm.

 

The IOC need a cheap WOG ... and Vancouver is the best candidate ...

 

Also Panam is more dead event then Commonwealth

Hope they at least don’t use tin for the roof at the athletes village.

What is the story behind this? :p 

I’ll need to do a way back search in some Instagram posts, but during the 2018 CAC Games hosted in that city, Mexican athletes complained and took photos showing the roof of the village was made of tin sheets, with no isolation or covering whatsoever.

 

And while the quality of the sports venues was OK for that event, Barranquilla will need to invest quite the money for most of the venues to reach a PanAm level.

 

Not saying I hope they will fail, but definitely, the OC needs to step up to the task for 2027.
