So human rights isn't a issue to you then :p

I was going to mention that, but it doesn’t matter in this race. I think Qatar is the better of the two (it’s generally regarded as the “most liberal” of the Middle East powers).

This is interesting. Bermuda has 9 medals from the Pan American Games, according to Wikipedia. However, it looks like they failed to count two (!) more medals Bermuda has apparently won in 1991. MJ Tumbridge won an individual silver in eventing and lead Bermudan team to a team silver as well.

Granted, it's possible that confusion was created due to eventing competitions being held in Atlanta instead of Havana, but still, those competitoins still counted, so I guess Bermuda has 11 medals after all.

 

I'm afraid it's impossible to find complete podiums of those two competitions though. :dunno:

I managed to confirm that Canada won team and individual golds (Page 32), what leaves only the bronze medalists in mystery (and the composition of the Bermudan team).

@dcro @Griff88 There’s no mention of Eventing being held at the 1991 Pan American Games in the official results. The medal tally also does not include Eventing (as only 4 groups of medals were awarded/counted). There’s also no mention of Bermudan athletes on the official entry lists.

Even if Eventing was held, it seems likely that it has never been counted as a official.

So then it is just a local bias.

 

But still, it give me the urge to complete the incomplete since I can't unsee it :lol:

Well, they will never be official medalists since Panam Sports does not recognize them as such. It’s a fun piece of history, but that’s about all it will ever be probably.
