intoronto Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 The last time an athlete from the home country won the gold medal in the marathon event was in 2006 for Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpman Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Guadalajara was great hosting the Pan American Games and with a good budget compared to Rio 2007. Looking forward to Toronto 2015. As a big fan of Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games, I think the canadians will do a great job hosting the next Pan Am games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpman Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Time for the speeches (i hope they aren't long) and the handover. There is a joke in some brazilian media circles that Mr. Raña always looks a little "drunk" in those speeches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Did he just say they are going for Olympics? I think they can pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Well, they shown today is not impossible. I mean, if Rio got them why Guadalajara can't? They can host the YOG as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpman Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 I have a feeling the 2015 Games will not be good as Guadalajara but will be good. Why? We all know Toronto will use the games to showcase the potential for a future Olympic bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Well, they shown today is not impossible. I mean, if Rio got them why Guadalajara can't? They can host the YOG as well. Guadalajara probably will be the next new frontier for the IOC in the Americas. When that is anyone's guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Why? We all know Toronto will use the games to showcase the potential for a future Olympic bid.

Ikarus360 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Toronto can easily surpass Guadalajara, though. And I would really like to see Canada hosting a summer games again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyelBrazil Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 In a comp between Guadalajara and Toronto for the next games in North America, Canada is ways ahead... I can't see Mexico beating a Canadian bid for Olympic Games in a near future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Why? We all know Toronto will use the games to showcase the potential for a future Olympic bid. These games with the fan enthusiasm sold me. The venues will be much bigger in Toronto and Toronto does not support any thing deemed a minor event (Pan Ams are compared to Olympics). For ex, the AHL (second tier of hockey) struggles to attract 2,000 fans a game. The Pan Ams can be like the 2007 fifa u-20 world cup or be a complete disaster. I hope for the previous one.
