The II Bolivarian Games (Spanish: ''Juegos Bolivarianos'') were a multi-sport event held between December 25, 1947, and January 8, 1948, at the Estadio Nacional de Perú〔 〕 in Lima, Perú. The Games were organized by the Bolivarian Sports Organization (ODEBO). Originally, the Games were scheduled until January 6, 1948. However, during the Games, the organizing committee realized that the football competition and some other events could not be finished in time, and decided to extend until January 8, 1948.〔 〕 The Games were officially opened by Peruvian president José Luís Bustamante y Rivero. The ''Colegio Militar Leoncio Prado'' in Callao served as "Bolivarian Village" (''Villa Bolivariana'') to host the athletes.〔 A detailed history of the early editions of the Bolivarian Games between 1938 and 1989 was published in a book written (in Spanish) by José Gamarra Zorrilla, former president of the Bolivian Olympic Committee, and first president (1976-1982) of ODESUR.〔 〕 Gold medal winners from Ecuador were published by the Comité Olímpico Ecuatoriano.〔 〕 Some photos from the cycling events can be found on the webpage in honour of Peruvian cyclist Pedro Mathey.〔 〕 == Participation == As of December 23, 1947, a total of 931 athletes from 6 countries were reported to participate:〔 〕 * (103) * (180) * (78) * Panamá (50) * Perú (400) * (120) Another source reports the participation of only 600 athletes.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1947–48 Bolivarian Games」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
