The Pan American Games, second only to the Olympics as the biggest
international sports competition in the world, are held every four
years (during the year prior to the Summer Olympics) under the
sponsorship of the International Olympic Committee. The first Pan
American games were scheduled to take place in Buenos Aires in
1942, but the outbreak of World War II forced the games to be
postponed. The first Pan American Games were held on February 25,
1951, with more than 2,500 athletes from 22 countries
participating. This book lists the results of the Pan American
Games from their commencement to the most recent games in 1999. The
results are listed by sport (alphabetically), and each listing
includes a chronology of the sport in the context of the Pan
American Games; a list of the gold, silver, and bronze winners for
each year; and charts that show how many medals each country won
for that sport in each set of games. Also included are lists of the
medals by country, medals by sport, sports by years contested,
countries of the Pan American Sports Organization (PASO),
presidents of PASO, and a chronology of the Pan American Games. Los
Juegos Panamericanos, los segundos mas importantes del mundo tras
los Olimpicos, se han venido celebrando cada cuatro anos desde
1951. Se incluye en el presente trabajo bilingue un recuento de los
resultados reflejados en dichos juegos a lo largo de su historia,
desde los comienzos hasta los mas recientes, celebrados en 1999.
Igualmente se presta atencion individualizada a cada uno de los
deportes que han ocupado un lugar en el seno de dicho evento,
presentandose diversas estadisticas que detallan las medallas
obtenidas por cada pais, ademas de informacion sobre la
Organizacion de Deportes Panamericanos (ODPA), y una cronologia
general de los juegos.
