Pan American Games appearances (overview)

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]
