The VIII Bolivarian Games (Spanish: ''Juegos Bolivarianos'') were a multi-sport event held between October 15–29, 1977, at the Estadio Olímpico La Paz in La Paz, Bolivia. The Games were organized by the Bolivarian Sports Organization (ODEBO). The Games were officially opened by Bolivian president, General Hugo Banzer. Torch lighter was Athlete Julia Iriarte, who won five gold and three silver medals in the in eight events at the 1947-48 Bolivarian Games. The stadium in La Paz was one of the first in South America equipped with a synthetic track for the athletics running events. Because the stadium is situated 3,650 metres above sea level, and this about the first time that a big international sports event of that size took place at this altitude, there was a substantial medical interest in its influence on both the performance and the health of 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.〔 〕 == Participation == Athletes from 6 countries were reported to participate:〔 * * * * Panamá * Perú * 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「1977 Bolivarian Games」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
