mrv86 2,852 Posted May 4, 2020 #31 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Men's and Women's compound team events are now included in the program, which will add 14 individual places, meaning 34 athletes (17 in each gender) will compete in Santiago. They will follow the 2 per team format used at the 2019 Summer Universiade. Source Gianlu33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In defense of Panam Sports and World Archery, the America’s are rather strong in Compound archery. We have a good amount of top ranked archers, and we’ve done well at the World Games. I do wish that they’d figure out a way to bring Bowling and Racquetball back. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I'd love to actually see those sports cut back in the program, plus some adjustment and increase to better balance participation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, it’d be cool to see it on the program, but I can’t help but feel bad for some core Pan Am sports that have been cheated here. thiago_simoes 1 “Sport has the power to change the world.

I hope its shot down. Toronto 2015 proposed cricket (which would have been nice, as some of the smaller caribbean countries could have gotten teams), but that was rejected.

Olympian1010 7,417 Posted July 12, 2020 #40 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Also, what type of Roller Hockey are we talking about here? Inline or Quad? If it’s inline the Americans will be the favorite for gold. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
