UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

The 10th Pan American Games were held in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States.

Santiago, Chile, was originally named the host of the 10th Pan American Games. Due to the political and financial problems, however, the city withdrew in 1984. Quito, Ecuador, was named to replace Santiago. In late 1984, Quito also withdrew. Desperate, PASO held a new election. Indianapolis was planning to bid on the 1991 Games but submitted a bid for 1987. Havana, Cuba, was also interested. Indianapolis won, angering Fidel Castro. PASO appeased him by agreeing to give Havana the 1991 games provided that Cuba participated at Indianapolis
