How much does it cost to play sports at the 2023 Pan American Games?

Chile is one of the 10 countries having won the most medals in the Pan American Games Santiago 2023 . Between bikes, paddles, skis, swimming pools, muscles and a lot of energy, the eyes of the whole country are on the athletes, who show the best of themselves, after years of effort, training and practical.

In this line, Many doubts can be generated by the participation of athletes. For example, how many costs practice each sport? What clothes do they need?

These questions were also raised by Rodrigo Soto-Lagos, academic from the Department of Management and Public Policies of the Faculty of Administration and Economics of the University of Santiago de Chile, who in his new free book Sports culture explore the entire panorama of the festival sport that the country is experiencing.

“This is specifically an attempt to mobilize at least the knowledge that Chileans have about the sports that will be present in Santiago 2023.” said the author, whose work begins with the prologue of sports journalist Pedro Carcuro.

To arrive at the following economic references – which represent minimum calculations for practicing the different sporting disciplines – Soto-Lagos obtained the information through the website of a national and global sports store “that has the capacity to sell clothing and equipment for all sports.”
