Pan Am Games Standings

Canadian athletes had their best day yesterday during the 16th Pan American Games, winning five gold medals to take their overall tally to 14. Canada has 45 medals in total and is now third in the rankings behind the United States and Brazil.

Chapala falls into the Pan American spotlight this week during four days of water ski competition at the Boca Laguna Ski Club.   The Boca Laguna Ski Club is located just 10 minutes from our door.  The Waterski Event takes place all  weekend long. We tried to get tickets but they were sold out.  Guess we waited a little too long!

Here are the results so far.............Canada is doing great - in third place.  USA first, Brazil, Canada, Mexico.  These games have brought a much needed boost to the economy here.  We've watched over the past month the many improvments to the area.  Highways are clean of refuse, new lines have been painted, new gardens planted in the central area of Chapala.  The little area looks amazing!
Below is a chart of the medal standings as of yesterday.
