Pan American Games I was reading under the section of sports in this article And it dawned upon me This article mentions the United States hosting several Summer and Winter Olympics not to mention the country winning the most medals at the summer Olympics However what I saw conspicuously missing is that there is no mentioning of the United States actively participating every four years as well as hosting the Pan American Games first in Chicago in 1959 and second in Indianapolis in 1987 Equally American athletes have won the most medals in the Pan American Games So why do the Olympics get mentioning and inclusion yet the Pan American Games do not I would think 1 or 2 sentences wouldn t hurt
