context_page_description: The 2007 Pan American Games, officially known as the XV Pan American Games, were a continental multi-sport event held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from July 13 to July 29, 2007. At the Games, 5,633 athletes selected from 42 National Olympic Committees participated in 332 events in 34 sports divided into 47 disciplines. According to the Rio de Janeiro Organizing Committee for the Pan American Games, 2,196 medals were awarded for every winning athlete, including individuals from teams, during 334 awards ceremonies.
  Thirty-two nations earned medals at the Games, and nineteen won at least one gold medal. Antigua and Barbuda and El Salvador won their first ever gold medals. The Netherlands Antilles, the Bahamas, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Ecuador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, the Cayman Islands, Panama, the Dominican Republic and Saint Lucia improved their position in the general medal table compared to the 2003 Pan American Games, held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
  For the first time since the 1955 Games, American athletes did not win more than 100 gold medals. The United States led the medal count for the 12th time, winning 97 gold medals.
context_section_description: The ranking in this table is based on the official medal standings approved by the executive committee of the Pan American Sports Organization (PASO) on December 18, 2007. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals won by the athletes representing a nation. (In this context, a nation is an entity represented by a NOC). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by IOC country code.
  In boxing, judo, taekwondo and wrestling, two bronze medals were awarded in each weight class. In baseball, atypical rainfall during the games forced the Rio de Janeiro Organizing Committee for the Pan American Games to rearrange the schedule, and the competition for the bronze medal never took place. Mexico had to leave on the previously assigned date without playing for the third position. Therefore, the technical delegate ruled that Mexico and Nicaragua were each to be awarded a bronze medal.
   Host nation (Brazil)
  First ever gold medal
