Although we do not yet know when the Games will be held, the uncertainty surrounding them is now more clear and we encourage everyone to stay active and stay healthy as we look forward to competing in Japan in 2021. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As your representatives, we will continue to fight for your rights and opportunities and ensure that you continue to receive the support you need and deserve during these unprecedented times. It is in these moments that the voice of the athletes must be heard louder than ever, and we strongly encourage each of you to connect with us and share your experiences, concerns and questions as we navigate this path together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Our team is working with Panam Sports on many exciting initiatives to unite our community in new ways and provide advice and resources to all of you. Please connect with us through the contact form found below or directly through our social media accounts. We will continue to communicate with the IOC Athlete\u2019s Commission as well as other athlete and sport leaders to provide you with the most current information. It is vitally important that we all stay healthy, stay positive and stay prepared to show the world how strong we are!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sincerely,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Aliann Pompey &#8211; President (Guyana &#8211; Athletics)<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Carlos Santiago (Puerto Rico &#8211; Judo)<br \/>\nAdriana Escobar (El Salvador &#8211; Rowing)<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Isabel Swan (Brazil &#8211; Sailing)<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Paola Longoria (Mexico &#8211; Racquetball)<br \/>\nAmber Joseph (Barbados &#8211; Cycling)<br \/>\nTony Azevedo (USA &#8211; Water Polo)<br \/>\nMelissa Humana-Paredes (<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Canada &#8211; Beach Volleyball)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>CONTACT US<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\" id=\"wpcf7-f10438-o1\" lang=\"en-US\" dir=\"ltr\" data-wpcf7-id=\"10438\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-sport\/10444#wpcf7-f10438-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" aria-label=\"Contact form\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<fieldset class=\"hidden-fields-container\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"10438\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"6.1.7\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"en_US\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f10438-o1\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p><label> Your Name (required)<br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-name\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"your-name\" \/><\/span> <\/label>\n<\/p>\n<p><label> Your Email (required)<br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-email\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-email wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-email\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"email\" name=\"your-email\" \/><\/span> <\/label>\n<\/p>\n<p><label> Your Message<br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-message\"><textarea cols=\"40\" rows=\"10\" maxlength=\"2000\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-textarea\" aria-invalid=\"false\" name=\"your-message\"><\/textarea><\/span> <\/label>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"main-btn\">Send<\/button>\n<\/p><p style=\"display: none !important;\" class=\"akismet-fields-container\" data-prefix=\"_wpcf7_ak_\"><label>&#916;<textarea name=\"_wpcf7_ak_hp_textarea\" cols=\"45\" rows=\"8\" maxlength=\"100\"><\/textarea><\/label><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"ak_js_1\" name=\"_wpcf7_ak_js\" value=\"35\"\/><script>\ndocument.getElementById( \"ak_js_1\" ).setAttribute( \"value\", ( new Date() ).getTime() );\n<\/script>\n<\/p><div class=\"wpcf7-response-output\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear friends, The Panam Sports Athlete Commission supports the IOC decision to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10138,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"news_sports":[69],"class_list":["post-10444","news-sport","type-news-sport","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news_sports-press-releases"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
