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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bermuda_at_the_Pan_American_Games http://www.royalgazette.com/article/20150710/SPORT31/150719975 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. Anyway, I found it: https://useventing.com/resources/documents/1991_archive_results.pdf Scroll until North Georgia 3 Day Event held 6-10 Nov 1991. They didn't show the countries of the athletes, though. mrv86 and dcro 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job @Griff88 Thanks to your data, I found that it was Mexico who won 3rd place in the teams competition, with all four riders being members of the Armed Forces @dcro https://www.gob.mx/sedena/acciones-y-programas/juegos-panamericanos-habana-cuba-1991 According to the page above, the Mexican Army also counts that medal as being achieved at the Games, so in the end, only Panam Sports might be able to solve this confusion.

Individual bronze went to USA's Abigail Lufkin, who got an "official" bronze medal in Winnipeg 8 years later and it's now a sports psychologist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equestrian_at_the_1999_Pan_American_Games https://useventing.com/news-media/eventing-tv/video-sport-is-played-with-the-body-but-won-with-the-mind-with-abigail-lufkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrv86 2,924 Posted May 6, 2020 #734 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Completed the missing podium for the 1991 Pan American eventing competition. Event Gold Medalist Silver Medal Bronze Medal Individual Eventing Nick Holmes-Smith Ruder Pest M.J. Tumbridge Bermuda's Option Abigail Lufkin Flexible Flyer Team Eventing Canada Nick Holmes-Smith Ruderpest Edie Tarves-Gourley Socrates Jamie Smart Glendevlin Stuart Young Black Von Perrier Bermuda M.J. Tumbridge Bermuda's Option Peter Gray Anton Carol Ann Blackman WatersmeeT Garry Rogue Casemate Mexico Jaime Velazquez Suárez Mary Lucas Rafael Garzon Arias Azteca Vicente Peralta Meraz Acapulco Rogelio Hernandez Acicate Gray & Blackmann competed at Seoul, the former also appearing at LA four years earlier. I found this article on Rogue, which states that he was born and did some eventing in Bermuda. Moreover it seems both Canada and Mexico had a fifth rider (Samantha Majendie and Fernando Parroquin, respectively), both of whom probably competed as individuals, as most of the American riders on the list. It seems Mexico's medal came by pure luck as those US riders named for the team competition didn't finished. As only 4 nations competed, that could be the cause this event was not on the official tally, as the old PASO rules stated that at least 5 countries must enter for the event to be considered in the official Games' program.
