Pan American Games appearances (overview)

Racquetball and squash competitions were the only sports without Brazilian representation at these games. With this, the delegation sent to represent Brazil, made up of 619 athletes, broke the record as the largest ever sent abroad in a sporting competition, 29 more than the record reached in 2015 Pan American Games, where 590 represented the country.

Olympic medalists in 2020 Summer Olympics, the swimmer Fernando Scheffer and tennis player Luisa Stefani were the country's flagbearers during the opening ceremony. Meanwhile, table tennis player Hugo Calderano and rhythmic gymnast Nicole Pircio were the country's flagbearers during the closing ceremony.

For the first time in the history of the Pan American Games, Brazil took the lead in the medal table for a few minutes. The feat took place shortly after Rayssa Leal won the gold medal and Pâmela Rosa won the silver in women's street skateboarding, as a discipline of roller sports. At the end of the Pan, Brazil finished second in a row in the medals table, surpassing the Lima 2019 record with 66 gold medals, 73 silver medals and 66 bronze medals, with the majority of medals won by women.
