La Paz already organized last year's Bolivarian Games and,
with the necessary infrastructure already being present, hosted the majority of the events. Cochabamba hosted men's basketball, judo, tennis, and men's volleyball, and Santa Cruz de la Sierra, hosted equestrian, fencing, women's volleyball, and weightlifting.
This was the first edition of what would later be the South American Games, organized by the South American Sports Organization (ODESUR).[1]
An appraisal of the games and detailed medal lists were published elsewhere,[2] emphasizing the results of the Argentinian teams. There is a further publication emphasizing on the Bolivian athletes.[3]
The medal count for these Games is tabulated below. This table is sorted by the number of gold medals earned by each country. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next, and then the number of bronze medals.
