Men edit
* Jhamal Bowen from Panamá, won the silver medal in the men's long jump event of the South American Under-23 Championships.[4][6] However, he was not eligible for gaining a medal at the South American Games, because Panamá did not register for the athletics section of the games.[4]
Women edit
†: The women's 10.000 metres competition was not part of the South American Games, because the minimum number of 4 participating nations was not reached.[7]
Doping edit
