Chapters: Sport in Colombia, List of Colombian Records in Swimming, Colombian Professional Baseball League, 1971 Pan American Games, Copa Sony Ericsson Colsanitas, Colombia at the Pan American Games, Coleo, Tejo, Coldeportes. Excerpt: The 6th Pan American Games were held in Cali, Colombia, from July 30 to August 13, 1971. (One source dates the Games from July 25 to August 8.) The then called "Salsa World Capital", located at the foot of the Andes Mountains, hosted a total of 2,935 athletes from 32 countries, who participated in seventeen sports. (One source says 4,000 athletes) The highlight of the opening ceremony was a synchronised dance routine involving 12,000 young girls dressed in native costumes. Host city election At the 1967 PASO meeting in Winnipeg, Cali narrowly beat out Champ, Missouri (Near St. Louis ), USA, for the right to host the sixth Pan American Games. Highlights Venues The main stadium was the Estadio Pascual Guerrero. Some events were held in the Coliseo El Pueblo. Boxing was staged in the Plaza de Toros Cañaveralejo, a Cali bullring. Some complaints were made about the barracks-style housing, which was woefully overcrowded. In an effort to protect the athletes from students who had protested the amount of money that Colombia was spending on the games, security-minded officials surrounded the athletes' village with barbed wire and guards carrying rifles. The overcrowding caused it to be dubbed "Claustrophobia Manor" by the athletes. Other concerns centered on mosquitoes, the altitude, faulty plumbing, dysentery and pickpockets. Medal table Although the usually dominant U.S. team did manage to win heavily in athletics and women's gymnastics, Argentina and Brazil pulled surprise wins in rowing, as did Cuba in basketball.
