Mascot for 2021 Jr. PanAm Games has been revealed: a coatí named "Pana"; a coati is a mammal related to raccoons, whose species' range goes Southwestern USA to Uruguay and Argentina.

 

In Colombian and Venezuelan Spanish, Pana is slang for friend.

Sports program for Cali 2021 Jr PanAm Games has been revealed:

 

30 sports will be featured; among the notable absences from  the Olympic sports program are Equestrian, Football, Sports Climbing & Surfing, plus Water Polo and Slalom Canoe.

 

However Bowling and Squash who were axed from Santiago are included, while Water Ski was excluded alongside Racquetball :(

 

The Games will be contested from June 5th to 20th by U23 athletes, with each continental federation deciding the age of the competitors.

 

Also confirmed, every gold medalist, even those in team sports, will secure a quota for 2023 Pan American Games.

I really don’t understand Pan Am Sports :wacko:. They axe Bowling and Squash, and then race to bring them back. Water Ski at the U23 level is highly competitive in the Pan Am region. Plus, Cali hosted the World Games, so I know they have a venue (same goes for Sport Climbing). Football being omitted is huge oversight as well.

I disagree. The best youth athletes wouldn't compete most likely.

Football still had one of the biggest crowds at the 2018 CAC Games in Barranquilla. It was a U23 tournament just like this one would have been. It would have been a good way to sell the games to the locals.

Sprint, Slalom or both?

Shooting Sport (Pistol and Rifle)

No shotguns? That's a little disappointing :( 

 

No climbing and poor program of team events but beside that I love it.

I do not know. They didn’t publish that information, and I’m not a wizard, so I can’t conjure it up for you. My educated guess would be Sprint only.

Shotgun isn’t contested at youth or junior multi-sports games, at least I can’t think of a time it has.

Sport Climbing was most likely omitted because of a lack of national representation. There’s still only 8/9 Pan American NOCs with active Sport Climbing federations.

 

Football was likely omitted for the reasons discussed above. Water Polo is another discipline which tends to be omitted from youth and junior multi sports games. Same thing for Basketball 5x5. Field Hockey and Rugby Sevens are shocking omissions though, especially since both have featured at other youth and junior multi sports games.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
