Modern pentathlon at the 1963 Pan American Games
Modern pentathlon at the 1963 Pan American Games was contested at the IV Pan American Games in São Paulo, Brazil. Held in April 1963, the competition featured men's individual and team events. The United States dominated, winning both gold medals: Frank Anger claimed the individual title, while the US team topped the standings ahead of Canada and Cuba. Canada secured the individual silver through Sergio Vergara and team silver, while Cuba took team bronze with solid performances across disciplines. The modern pentathlon was one of two events contested at that edition, following its inclusion in every Games since 1951 except for later interruptions.
