2006 South American Games

Athletics events at the 2006 South American Games were held at the Centro Nacional de Alto Rendimiento Deportivo in Buenos Aires, Argentina, between November 10–12, 2006.[1]

This year, participation was restricted to athletes younger than 23 years. The competition also served as the 2nd South American Under-23 Championships. A detailed report on the results was given.[2]

A total of 44 events were contested, 22 by men and 22 by women.

Participation[]

410 athletes from 11 countries (all CONSUDATLE members except Panamá and Suriname) were reported to participate at the South American Under-23 Championships.[3] However, an unofficial count through the result lists[3] resulted only in 266 participating athletes:

There is no hint on participation of athletes from Aruba and Netherlands Antilles (ODESUR members, but not CONSUDATLE members).

Medal summary[]

Main article: Athletics at the 2006 South American Games – Results
Further information: 2006 South American Under-23 Championships in Athletics § Medal summary

Medal winners for the South American Games were published in a book by written Argentinian journalist Ernesto Rodríguez III with support of the Argentine Olympic Committee (Spanish: Comité Olímpico Argentino) under the auspices of the Ministry of Education (Spanish: Ministerio de Educación de la Nación) in collaboration with the Office of Sports (Spanish: Secretaría de Deporte de la Nación).[4] Eduardo Biscayart supplied the list of winners and their results.[5]

Medal winners for the South American Under-23 Championships[2][6] as well as detailed results[3][7][8][9] were also published.

There is no indication for a cancellation of certain events or awarding a reduced number of medals because of an insufficient participation for this year's South American Games as in the years before. Therefore, the results are identical to the South American Under-23 Championships.

Medal table (unofficial)[]

The unofficial medal count is identical to the medal count of the South American Under-23 Championships, and is shown elsewhere .
