Pan American Games appearances (overview)

Panama competed at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru from July 26 to August 11, 2019.[1][2]

A total of 84 athletes (46 men and 38 women) were named to the Panamanian team, marking the largest delegation the country has ever sent to the Pan American Games.[3]

On July 5, 2019, athlete Alonso Edward was named as the country's flag bearer during the opening ceremony.[4] However, it was later announced taekwondo athlete Carolena Carstens would carry the flag, as Edward would not be in Lima for the opening ceremony.[5][6]

Panama won four medals at these edition of the games, ranking 28th overall.[7] The four medals marked the most won at a single edition of the games for the country since 1987.
