Media representatives wishing to cover the 2007 Pan American Games to be held from 13 to 29 July 2007 in Rio de Janeiro (BRA) should contact their National Olympic Committee no later than 8 January 2007.

Conducted every four years, the Pan American Games began in 1951 in Buenos Aires. For more than 50 years they have never failed to take place and have traveled from Winnipeg (CAN) in the north of the American continent to Mar Del Plata (ARG) in the extreme South. The Games have also visited Mexico City (MEX), Chicago (USA), Cali (COL), San Juan (PUR), Caracas (VEN), Indianapolis (USA), Havana (CUB) and Santo Domingo (DOM).

Horsesport – Eventing, Dressage and Jumping – will be one of the 28 sports on the programme of the 2007 Pan American Games, where no less than 5,500 athletes from 42 countries are expected to convene.
