Cochabamba Hosts South American Games
The 11th version of the South American Games are underway in Cochabamba, Bolivia, bringing together athletes from 14 countries.
The Cochabamba event follows on from Chile hosting the Games in 2014. It is the second time that Bolivia has played host, having been the centre of action for the debut Games in 1978. At that time Cochabamba hosted some events, with La Paz the main host.
