Are non Olympic sports getting axed for 2027?

 

And what about non olympic events (like some classes in sailing or handing out golds for every apparatus is RG)?

Honestly, it still seems pretty unclear. There was all that talk of cuts after Lima 2019, and in the end, there were only a few. If they do cut the non-Olympic sports, I think should go the ODEBO route and create an event for those sports specifically.

In 2022 Panamsports said 34 sports, 3 from the host, 28 'core sports' and 3 from panamsports (which would mean boxing/weightlifting and MP are not guaranteed). Recently rumours suggest only Olympic sports. 

 

We shall see.

4 new medals, 2 Golds, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze added to the medal tally for team in the penultimate day of the Games.

 

Fun fact of the day: Ecuador became yesterday the very first ever winner of the Race Walk mixed marathon competition in history, as the discipline was competed for the very first time ever... logically the triumph meant also setting the establishing new World, Continental and National Record of the discipline, the female member of the team Glenda Morejon won her 2nd medal of the games in Santiago, after her Silver in the 20km event, this time a gold she will shares with the flagbearer Brian Pintado.

A clip of the mascot twerking feels like the perfect way to end these Games
