At least according to the ICF. I am seeing that now. This sport is likely going to be dropped from future Pan American Games imo. There isn't the demand for it unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don’t get the feeling that PanAm Sports wants to cut it, so it may stay for a while. Hopefully there’s more interest at the next games. “Sport has the power to change the world.

I haven't seen a single image of the Lima canoe slalom venue so far, which may be an indication that it's delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peru definitely has a least one river that meets the requirements I would imagine, same for Chile. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

The qualification event was supposed to be there but they withdrew and its probably because its delayed like you are suggesting. Toronto 2015's canoe slalom course had 0 images till the competition started... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And during competition too Spoiler jk I think this was one of the many sports without broadcast? I remember that I wanted to watch the competition but in the end I could only get the online results.

I knew about the other nations but I've never seen a canoe competition in Peru (I see now that the competition should be held in Cañete river).

Sportv (brazilian tv) had only 2 channels for the Games, so the choices were limited, in part because many sports weren't in the official broadcast service (like Handball, which we could only watch the final thanks to the argentine tv).
