For the first time, a minimum participation of 4 nations per event was required to award a full set of medals. Men's triple jump and women's 4 x 400 m relay events were concerned, where athletes coming in third did not get bronze medals.[2] Women's marathon was completely cancelled, because there would have been only athletes from host country Ecuador.[3]

Medal summary

Medal winners were published in a book by written Argentinian journalist Ernesto Rodríguez III with support of the Argentine Olympic Committee (Spanish: Comité Olímpico Argentino) under the auspices of the Ministry of Education (Spanish: Ministerio de Educación de la Nación) in collaboration with the Office of Sports (Spanish: Secretaría de Deporte de la Nación).[2] Eduardo Biscayart supplied the list of winners and their results.[4] Further results were published elsewhere,[3][5][6][7][8][9][10] or can be found in athlete's IAAF biographies.[11]

All results are marked as "affected by altitude" (A), because the stadium in Cuenca is situated 2536 m above sea level.
