Leading Winnipeg Pan Am technicians visit

Terry Wright, executive advisor to the past Winnipeg Pan American Games; Guy Lodge, director of installations; Bob McMahon, director of operations, and technicians Mario Cilenti and Alan Clark, are visiting Santo Domingo. The technicians that are credited with overseeing the best Pan Am Games ever spoke to Dominican sports federation leaders, and organizers of the 2003 Pan Am Games offering tips and valuable advice on what to do and not to do. Advance planning was stressed as well as the importance of getting the most out of selling the television transmission rights. Some 5,000 athletes from 42 countries are expected to participate in the Santo Domingo 14th Pan American Games.
