Ikarus360 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 Very irresponsable from their part, 3 years to go and they haven't even started building anything yet. This is going to be a hot mess worse than the 2003 Pan Ams in Santo Domingo. In case they're stripped from the games, would Rio or Guadalajara come up as a backup host? Quote

I would think Guadalajara would be the favourite... Quote
yoshi Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 Buenos Aires would've just had the Youth Olympics - plus the benefit of not having hosted the Pan Ams for a fair while. Why are there so many problems in Lima - are Peru not one of the more developed, capable countries in Latin America? Quote

LDOG Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 I think we (Argentina) are not in $$$ conditions to host two consecutive year multi-sport events, also I read yesterday that our NOC president wants to try for 2023 PanAm. Anyway, I think Lima will be ok at the end, so no point bringing this up. Quote

Ikarus360 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 I thought the rules for Youth Olympic Games is that they can't build new venues but I guess they will work on improvements of currently existing venues. Quote
baron-pierreIV Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 Maybe Lima is just over-reaching with all its ambitions? 2016 - the APEC Summit in November 2017 - the IOC meeting in September 2019 - the PanAm Games Quote

Tatsh Posted October 9, 2016 Report Posted October 9, 2016 I know that there's a lot of uncertainty about the orgabization of the games. Sadly, political issues's been involved in this but in a bad mode. Acoording the goverment, the plans are in time, the construction of venues will be starting at 2017 and pression over Lima's major will move everything faster, and media has started to talk about the games in a bad way, but in dispite of this, that's a good new because the games in general now aren't something away from local media. Now that's the last piece of about the games: All venues ready for Mars 2019 http://elcomercio.pe/sociedad/lima/panamericanos-obras-estaran-listas-mas-tardar-marzo-2019-noticia-1937427 Pan American Games 2019: Carlos Neuhaus meets with British trade mission Carlos Neuhaus, president of the Organizing Committee of the Pan American Games Lima 2019, met this week with representatives of 15 British companies that came to Peru to express their interest in carrying out the multi-sport event, reported the British Embassy. Companies in the Peruvian capital were between 4 and 6 October in search of business opportunities to provide experience, knowledge and support in organizing the 2019 Games in Lima. The British ambassador Anwar Choudhury received the delegation and sharing his vision, stressed the importance of ensuring a positive legacy for Peru based on the British experience. http://gestion.pe/empresas/juegos-panamericanos-2019-carlos-neuhaus-se-reune-mision-comercial-britanica-2171945 Quote
