In the 18 previous editions of the Games, the U.S. have only ever fallen short of the gold twice — once at the very first games in 1951 and then again in 1991 before coming back to claim the most medals of any country in Games history in ‘95.

How many times has the United States taken part in the Pan American Games?

Las Leñas, Argentina hosted the first and only winter Pan American Games in 1990.
