United States Sailing Association | US Sailing Announces Toronto 2015 Pan American Sailing Team: US Sailing has released the 2015 US Pan American Sailing Team roster. Fourteen American sailors will compete in nine classes* at the world’s third-largest international multi-sport Games this summer in Canada from July 10-26, 2015. Exceeded in size by only the Olympic Games and Asian Games, the Pan American (or “Pan Am”) Games represents a chance for over 7,000 athletes from 41 eligible member nations to compete in 36 sports, including sailing. Overall, the United States Olympic Committee will send approximately 630 athletes to compete across a range of sports in Toronto. “A formidable team of sailors will represent the United States at the Pan American Games in Toronto this July, including members of the US Sailing Team Sperry and three Pan Am Games medalists,” said Josh Adams, Managing Director of US Olympic Sailing. “We are preparing for top international competition in Toronto across the Olympic and non-Olympic classes. Several USA athletes will be racing for the podium. For the young sailors on this team, the experience of competing alongside veteran teammates like Paige Railey and Augie Diaz will provide a unique opportunity in their sailing. Members of the U.S. Pan American Sailing Team will be supported by US Sailing with coaching from the US Sailing Team Sperry (Olympic program) staff, weather analysis, physio support, as well as a logistics operation before and during competition...” Since sailing was included in the Pan American Games in 1955, the United States has won 78 medals in sailing: 33 gold, 27 silver and 18 bronze.
