Canadian hammer thrower Ethan Katzberg is looking to add a Pan Am Games title to the surprise gold medal he won at this year's world championships.
The Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile officially begin Friday night with the opening ceremony, and preliminary competition is already underway in baseball and boxing. It won't be long before Canadian athletes start piling up medals:across the three dozen or so sports on the program, and Canada ranks third all-time in Pan Am Games podiums, behind the United States and Cuba.
Track icon Andre De Grasse and swimming phenom Summer McIntosh are among the high-profile names not taking part in the Games, leaving Canada without its biggest star in the two most popular sports. But the Canadian team still features several accomplished athletes, including 15 who have won Olympic medals.
Starting Saturday, live sports will be streamed on multiple channels each day on CBCSports.ca, the CBC Sports app and CBC Gem. Those platforms will also carry a live show weekdays starting at 6 p.m. ET, hosted by Anastasia Bucsis and featuring a mix of live events and highlights with a focus on Canadian athletes. The CBC TV network will have additional coverage on Saturday and Sunday afternoons throughout the Games, hosted by Scott Russell and Andi Petrillo.
