Background knowleage:
The Pan American Games are a continental version of the Olympic Games, which includes both Olympic sports and other disciplines suggested by the competition organization and approved by PASO. Held every four years, always one year before the Summer Olympic Games, the first Pan American Games were held in 1951 in Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina. However, the origin of the Pan American Games dates as far back as 1932, during the Los Angeles Olympic Games.

Inspired by the first Central American Games, which had been held six years before, representatives of Latin American member countries of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) proposed the establishment of a competition that would bring together all the countries in the Americas and encourage sport in the region.

The idea resulted in the First Pan American Sports Congress, held Buenos Aires in 1940. Initially the Congress decided that the inaugural Games would happen in 1942, in the capital of Argentina. The plan, however, had to be postponed because of World War II.

After the War, a second Pan American Congress convened in London, during the 1948 Olympic Games, and confirmed Buenos Aires as the host city of the first Pan American Games, scheduled for 1951. The competition started on February 25th and brought together 2,513 athletes from 21 countries, competing in 18 sport disciplines.

Over more than 50 years, the Pan American Games have been held continuously and were taken to numerous cities in all areas of the American continent: From as far North as Winnipeg (Canada), host of two Pan American Games, in 1967 and 1999, to the extreme South, in Mar Del Plata (Argentina), which hosted the Games in 1995. The competition also took place in Mexico City (Mexico), Chicago (United States), Cáli (Colombia), San Juan (Puerto Rico), Caracas (Venezuela), Indianapolis (United States), Havana (Cuba), Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) and São Paulo (Brazil).

The Games were first staged in Brazil in the fourth edition, in 1963, held in the capital of São Paulo state. The event was a huge success and attracted 40,000 people to the Opening Ceremony, in Pacaembu Stadium.

Gradually, the Pan American Games gained importance and significance. In less than a century the number of countries, athletes and disciplines has doubled, and the Pan American Games have become one of the leading competitions in the international sport calendar.
