In a short presentation, Neuhaus mentioned the key milestones achieved by several Lima 2019 functional areas in recent months, such as Transport, Volunteering and Torch Relay. He praised the team’s commitment and invited people to participate.
He emphasized that each Peruvian must be committed with the success of this multi-sport event, and also encouraged the attendees to promote this message.
“We’re already in Games-time. The Organizing Committee has taken on this challenge, but we must all work together. We’ll heighten Peru’s name.”
Likewise, he mentioned new details on the competitions and stressed the importance of these Games compared to previous editions.
In the last Pan American Games, 12 sports were qualifiers for the Olympic Games, but we’ll have 22 at Lima 2019. This number says a lot about the hard work of the Organizing Committee because we’ll welcome elite athletes. The American swimming team has announced that at least five Olympic medalists will come here to compete.”
