It is claimed that with the Pan American Games featuring a record 23 disciplines offering Olympic qualification, world-class competition will be ensured as the Americas' finest athletes seek to book their ticket to Tokyo 2020.

The Olympic qualifiers are in the sports of archery, artistic swimming, athletics, badminton, equestrian, diving, field hockey, handball, karate, modern pentathlon, sailing, shooting, skateboarding, surfing, swimming, table tennis, tennis, triathlon, water polo and weightlifting.

Equestrian is split into dressage, eventing and jumping, while karate is made up of kata and kumite. 

"With just under 100 days to go, Lima's attention is turning from the hugely successful work of preparing venues and readying the city, towards the wonderful sport that is now just around the corner," Lima 2019 President Carlos Neuhaus said.

"The images of completed venues are what enable the best athletes in the Americas to visualise where their performances will be.

"The competition schedule allows them to also prepare for when.

"And this schedule means tens of thousands of spectators who have been waiting patiently to plan their own experiences of Lima 2019 can now make their own preparations, ready for when tickets go on sale at the end of May."
