Everything about 1951 Pan American Games totally explained
The
Pan American Games originated in
1932. At the Games of the
X Olympiad in
Los Angeles,
United States, officials representing the National Olympic Committees of the Americas discussed the staging of an Olympic-style regional athletic competition for the athletes of the
Americas.
During the Pan American Exposition at
Dallas in 1937, a limited sports program was staged. These included
Athletics,
Boxing, and
Wrestling among others. This program was considered a success and a meeting of Olympic officials from the Americas was held.
At the Pan American Sports Conference held in 1940, It was decided to hold the 1st
Pan American Games at
Buenos Aires,
Argentina, in 1942. The Pan American Sports Committee was formed to govern the games.
Avery Brundage, President of the USOC and Vice-President of the IOC, was elected as the first President. However, the
Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor brought much of the Americas into
World War II, thus forcing the cancellation of the 1942 games.
A second conference was held in 1948.
Avery Brundage was re-elected as the President of the PASC. It was decided that
Buenos Aires would still host the 1st
Pan American Games, this time in 1951.
