Question

Based on the geography of Lima, Peru, what Olympic sports can be played?

Answer 1

Answer:

Lima is located between the Pacific Ocean and the foothills of the Andes. It would be well-suited to host the Summer Olympic Games.

Explanation:

Lima's proximity to the Pacific Ocean makes it a good venue for Olympic water sports. The terrain in the city of Lima is relatively flat making it a good venue for road events like cycling, but the foothills of the Andes are nearby as well so the mountain biking events would also have the appropriate terrain. Lima would be better suited to summer Olympic events as the winter is not cold enough to produce the snow and ice needed for winter sports.  Lima recently hosted a successful Pan Am Games in 2019, making many infrastructure upgrades for athletic events around the city including an Olympic-sized pool that would also make it a suitable site for a future Olympics.
