Pan Am Games postponed until October-November 2003

The president of the Panamerican Sports Organization said the 2003 Pan Am Games will no longer take place from 18 July to 3 August in the DR. He said the opening would be postponed until October or November. The reasons cited are the intense summer heat of the Dominican Republic which could affect athletes’ performance and the clashing of the date with the World Swimming Championship. The Pan Am Games Organization will set a new date.
