In contrast to the South American Junior Championships, there is a quorum for the South American Games: participation of at least 5 athletes from at least 3 countries is required. If the quorum requirement is not met  for an event, only one medal per country is awarded. The following events were affected: no bronze medal in men's 3000m steeplechase, no bronze medal in women's discus throw, and no silver medal in women's javelin throw. While the Olympic Committees of Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles (until dissolution) are affiöiated to ODESUR, their corresponding athletics federations (Arubaanse Atletiek Bond and Nederlands Antilliaanse Atletiek Unie) are affiliated to the North American, Central American and Caribbean Athletic Association rather than CONSUDATLE. Their athletes compete at the South American Games, but not at the South American Junior Championships .
