GUADALAJARA, Mexico (AP) — Hurricane Jova, which plowed into Mexico’s Pacific coast, has produced heavy rain in nearby Guadalajara and threatened to affect the opening ceremony Friday in the Pan American Games.
Bernardo de la Garza, president of Mexico’s sports and culture commission, says there are no plans to change the date of the ceremony. But he acknowledges portions of the show might have to be altered.
He also says the heavy rain falling on Mexico’s west coast might affect training sessions for triathlon, sailing and beach volleyball, all three of which will be held in the beach resort of Puerto Vallarta.
