  • History

    Central American games started in 1926. During the 1932 Olympics, Latin American countries proposed for a regional sport event for the entire American continent. They chose Buenos Aires to host the first Pan Am games in 1942, but due to the Second World War it was postponed. The first Pan Am games was held in 1951. The games are governed by the Pan American Sports Organization (PASO). Like the Olympics, this game is also held once in every four years. The 2011 games will be in Guadalajara, Mexico. http://www.guadalajara2011.org.mx/eng/index.asp
