| SANTIAGO, CHILE – It seems like it was just yesterday when the President of Panam Sports, Neven Ilic, declared the Lima 2019 Pan American Games officially closed in front of more than 40,000 spectators, but not without first thanking everyone who made this incredible continental sports celebration possible with a declaration that could be etched in bronze and will forever remain in the memory of millions of Peruvians: “When we started 15 days ago, we dreamed of having great Games, and today I tell you, it was a great reality… We had the greatest Pan American Games in history!”
Tomorrow, 365 days since the most important sporting event ever held in Peru began, Panam Sports will premiere the short film “¡Gracias Perú!”. This incredible 12-minute film shows the most important milestones of these Games, beginning with Lima being named the Host City at the ODEPA General Assembly in Toronto, Canada in 2013, and concluding with the Closing Ceremony at Peru’s National Stadium in Lima on August 11, 2019. The premiere launched Sunday, July 26 at 12pm (ET) through the Panam Sports Channel as well the Panam Sports YouTube channel.
