Pan American Games sports

The Pan American Games sports comprise all the sports contested in the Summer Olympic Games. In addition, traditional and popular sports throughout the Americas which are not contested at the Olympic Games are also contested such as bowling and baseball. As of 2015, the Pan American Games included 36 sports with 51 disciplines and 364 events. The number and kinds of events may change slightly from one Pan American Games to another.

For purposes of Pan American Games competition, the Pan American Sports Organization (PASO) makes a distinction between sports and disciplines. A sport, in Pan American Games terms, is a single or group of disciplines as represented by an international governing body, namely an International Federation. For example, aquatics, represented at the Olympic level by the International Swimming Federation, is a sport at the Pan American Games that includes the swimming, diving, synchronized swimming and water polo disciplines.

Canoe slalom is the only Olympic discipline not on the Pan American Games program. It was, in fact, scheduled to be held at both the 2007 and 2011 Pan American Games, but due to the small number of countries competing in the discipline, the event was dropped. However, the discipline is scheduled to make its debut at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada.
