The 1999 Pan American Games, officially known as the XIII Pan American Games, were a continental multi-sport event held in Winnipeg, Canada, from July 23 to August 8, 1999. At the Games, 5,000 athletes selected from 42 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated in events in 38 sports. Twenty-seven nations earned medals during the competition, and eighteen won at least one gold medal.
Medal table
The ranking in this table is based on medal counts published by several media organizations. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals won by the athletes representing a nation. (In this context, a nation is an entity represented by a NOC). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by IOC country code.
