We've received the results from the meet host and have added the individual results to our database now. They will be submitted for top 10 consideration at the end of the year. The relay results weren't included in what we received, but I'll look them up also. Hi Jim, I ended up swimming the Panam games as Brazilian, so maybe you have not added my results to the database. Could you do that individually in my case? I am in the 65-69 years, first place in the 50 free (30.96), 100 free (1.08.68), 200 IM (3.11.80), and second place in the 200 free (2.39.62). I am listed with my complete name Jose Eugenio Guisard Ferraz - my USMS number is 501H-0287X with the abbreviated name Jose E Ferraz. Thanks.

I looked them up Jim. They are listed for 2012, which I believe is correct. thanks again.

Thanks Jim. Are these going to be 2012 times?

I was just going to email my times and a link, to our DV Top 10 guy. The Pan Am times will be listed for the 2012 season I think, so there is plenty of time. I think somewhere in those PDF files is a list of swimmers by country. Could you copy that list and go through the results and run a program that can find their name on the results documents? I think there were 45 Americans at the Pan Ams. Many of us know each other. I know the guys in my age group, Martin, Walker, Miller, Sicard just for starters. It shouldn't be too hard to figure it out, even if you have to do it manually.

Jim, The results in PDF format is in the ABMN site: www.abmn.org.br/.../2011111707579.pdf It is in Portuguese, and it may be hard to separate the 40 or 50 USMS swimmers from the 1650 that have participated in the event.

Jack, In the panam event in Rio I saw that many USMS swimmers did participate. I wonder how and if we could have our results considered for the USMS LMC rankings this year?

Everyone seems to have good things to say about the Worlds when they are in Italy. With the weak dollar Italy will be expensive. Rio was also expensive but but not out of line w/ the cost of the Worlds in Stanford in 2006. Everyday in Rio I experienced something new. It was a vacation, an International meet and an educational experience. It was worth the money.

International meets are quite an experience. The Worlds in Italy will be nice next year, but I really think that Rio was a unique experience. Torino is the only other international meet that I have tenatively planned. My brother married a girl fromTorino so I will have friends to visit while there. I also age up that year - so if I can keep from breaking something right before the meet, I plan to go.

BTW, Rio is unbelievable! Now I really feel bad. I am glad you enjoyed the meet - it looked like it would be a lot of fun. I am afraid that by the time it is held there again, I will be too old to enjoy it.

I am in the Dallas airport waiting to board my flight back to Philly. The Pan Ams were a great meet. They were well run and the facilities were pretty good. The Open Water 3K was also a unique experience. There were about 400 men. We started in maybe a 20 by 20 meter area on the beach and it seemed like we stayed that way for the first 600M of the race. There was a lot of contact, Latin Americans take OW seriously and no one would give an inch. After the race, they had an awards ceremony for the top 10 in each age group. After a week of competition we all pretty much knew each other and getting up on the medals stand was a great experience, everyone was cheering and I have never seen that much enthusiasm at any US Nationals. It was a something that I will never forget. Sarasota will host the Pan Ams in 2013. I think they can have an even bigger and better meet and BTW, Rio is unbelievable!

It sounds like it was a great meet. Results can be found at www.abmn.org.br/.../resultados.php The Open Water event is tomorrow, with almost 800 entrants!

I had planned to go to this meet. What could be better than to go to a meet in Rio? Unfortunately I broke both shoulders skiing in March and was not able to go. I guess it will be a long time before it gets back to Rio ... so it goes.
