Ikarus360 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 I dunno if you noticed but i think Guadalajara 2011 started a trend for the closing ceremonies. The PASO flag was never handed over on a pole but only the flag alone(at least for the last 30 years). Also, PASO flag changed again (it seems their flag changes all the time at every Pan Ams ) so the ODEPA PASO words are just above the logo and arround it. Handover of the PASO flag at Indianapolis 1987 opening. PS: Correction. The ODEPA PASO words are now below the logo, not above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Mata Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Guadalajara may have been dubbed the best but ours were THE largest-almost-olympic-level Pan American Games which model Toronto's gonna follow! Deal with it Raña! HAHAHA! Guadalajara was a passionate and colorful host and these games were amazing to watch. Jalisco truly embraced the spirit of the games like no others. Kudos, cabrones!

That's EXACTLY what I felt when the 2007 games ended and I missed so much the atmosphere and excitement we had back in those days during the past 2 weeks.

Yeah but that was almost half a century ago but they kinda deserve it because of their contribution in athletics.

Lord David Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 You can watch the whole closing ceremony on the CBC website. I thought the handover was just slightly above average, nothing of real interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
