2015 pan American games

 OK I'm going backwards with this. The 2015 Pan American games were held in Toronto Ontario Canada from July 10th to 26th. 41 nations and 6127 athletes competed in the games. One fewer nation than 2011 as the Netherlands Antilles were dissolved. Golf and canoe slalom were added, marking the first time all Olympic sports were competed at the Pan American Games. 19 different sports had Olympic qualification ramifications. Saint Lucia 🇱🇨 won its first ever gold as Levern Spencer won it in womens high jump.   United States was first overall in medals with 103g, 82s, 80b for 265 total. Host Canada was 2nd with 78g, 70s, 71b for 219 total. Brazil was third with 42g, 39s, 60b for 141 total. Next one is 2011. Here is the logo for 2015.
