LatinXTC 270 Report post Posted July 11, 2015 In Spanish it Begins with 'E', Spanish is official language. Wait, but don't the athletes walk in by the host nation's official language alphabet??? Canada's is either French or English, or both. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PASO regulations means its Spanish: http://images.toronto2015.org/system/asset_pdfs/863/original/pan-am-regulation.pdf Scott Russell making a lot of errors. Jamaica has a 65 athlete contingent here, but the athletics team it appears isn't marching. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This happens at the OC for the Summer and Winter Olympics. And also some don't have to compete until much later so they're probably not even in town yet. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or they try their best to. I remember in Beijing we heard Guadalajara Guadalajara at the most random times it was hilarious. I find it interesting that the announcer said that Puerto Rico will be a factor in gymnastics when they have a history of being very strong in gymnastics, yet they've never medaled in the sport at the Olympics.

This is the Pan Am Games not the Olympics. Puerto Rico is the defending men's team silver medallists. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ikarus360 592 Report post Posted July 11, 2015 Haven't commented but so far i'm liking the ceremony. It hasn't been a dissapointment like some called it before. And curious that once again the torch was brought in the beggining of the show, just like in the European Games. Is this a new trend? The smoke effect when countries march in is a bit too much though XD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
intoronto 650 Report post Posted July 11, 2015 Only a few more countries till Canada! Haven't commented but so far i'm liking the ceremony. It hasn't been a dissapointment like some called it before.

bairrosfelipe 120 Report post Posted July 11, 2015 #PanAm2015 is trending worldwide on twitter. Is the 1st in Brazil trending right now, and most of the twitter is brazilian. Anyway that's impressive because only one channel in cable TV is broadcasting out ceremony in Brazil now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roger87 201 Report post Posted July 11, 2015 At this moment is a mixed bag. At least it's better than Vancouver 2010, Incheon and Glasgow 2014. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
intoronto 650 Report post Posted July 11, 2015 A big Canadia flag in the crowd. Huge Canadian delegation, I think most of the 719 athletes are here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ikarus360 592 Report post Posted July 11, 2015 Not a bad parade of nations actually. I loved the music and how they used a song for each country (they used Pajarillo when Venezuela marched in ) PS: The rendition of O Canada was so much better than Vancouver 2010 IMO.
