473 Canadian athletes, 44 from the Island, will march at National Stadium in Santiago, Chile, for the opening ceremony of the 2023 Pan American Games.
Canada belongs to two worlds, one historical and one geographic, when it comes to the two multi-sport Games it takes part in below the Olympics. Both provide useful glimpses and pointers to the next Summer Olympics but they have vastly different cultural vibes and rhythms.
Canada is a top-three power in both Games, third behind Australia and England in the all-time Commonwealth Games medals table and third behind the U.S. and Cuba in all-time Pan Am Games medals. But Rowing Canada, Triathlon Canada and Rugby Canada – all based on the Island — are sending more in the line of developmental or depth teams because the Pan Am Games are not an Olympic qualifier in those sports.
