Controversies
Wrong time at the Women's March
The women's 20 kilometres walk was marked by controversy as the official distance was short of 20 kilometres. Kimberly Garcia of Peru had originally won the event in a time of 1:12.26, more than nine minutes below the world record.[4] Organizers realized the course was short after the event had been completed.[4] Athletes believed the course was approximately three kilometers short, with the winner Garcia noticing the distance and time were not matching after the first kilometre.[5] Due to the error, the times were erased and athletes could not receive world ranking points towards the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.[4] The organizing committee blamed the error on the Association of Panamerican Athletics and the person who they hired (Marcelo Ithurralde) to accurately measure the course.[6] The executive director of the games, Harold Mayne-Nicholls later claimed the incident was an embarrassment.[6]
