 Cyclist Conor White and Caitlin Conyers represented Bermuda at the Continental Athletes Forum in Cancún, Mexico.
The Panam Sports Athlete Forum featured an interview with Jamaica's newly-retired former world 100 meters record holder Asafa Powell and a promise of extra funding for all the member nations.
Panam Sports President Neven Ilic pledged to provide an additional $5,000 to the Athlete Commissions of each of the 41 member nations of the continental organization.
Olympic Solidarity makes $10,000 available annually to the NOC Athlete Commissions throughout the world, and Panam Sports' additional contributions will bring the available annual total to $15,000.
NOC Athlete Commissions can use these funds to help start, structure and activate the Athlete Commissions in their country.
