2011 Panamerica Games in guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta is pleased to be co hosting, along with Guadalajara, this year’s PanAm games… and if the traffic is any indication, the games are a huge success 🙂 I had a look at the medal tally for the Pan American Games this morning and was pleased to see Mexico holding 3rd place (behind the USA and Brazil) for the total number if medals won.
Mexico has won a total of 29 medals – 9 gold, 6 silver and 14 bronze – as of this morning in events like pentathlon, rowing, cycling, mountain biking, squash and taekwondo. And congratulations are in order for Cynthia Valdez who has brought home five (!) silver and gold medals in Rhythmic Gymnastics!
Mexico is only 1 gold medal behind Brazil – which has 10 gold, 9 silver and 11 bronze , so we will be watching closely to see if we can take second position in the competition… we’ll have our work cut out for us if we want first place as the USA has a healthy lead with 24 gold and 63 total medals!
Canada is also showing well and is currently in 4th place with 30 total medals, 6 of which are gold.
There is still plenty of competition to go, we will be watching closely and rooting for the home team!
