GDL 2011 Closing Ceremony Livechat

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 :lol: ) 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.

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! :D

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!

Now 'three little birds'

I don't remember Rio 2007 (due to the lack of coverage :( ) but that is the vibe I get as well.

Well i had the chance to attend to a lot of the venues and competitions :S so i guess it changed my life for the past 15 days :( !!

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.

They had the commonwealth games so anything is possible.

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

Ricky Martin takes the stage, and it seems he will close the show

They ended it so abruptly. :blink:

Nice games, dare I say it the Vancouver level almost. Certainly has helped Guadalajara show it can stage the Olympics. See you in 2017 for the WAC.
