Basque pelota competitions at the 2024 Bolivarian Youth Games in Sucre, Bolivia were held from 4 to 6 April 2024 at Complejo de Raquetas Conrrado Moscoso.[1][2]
Four medal events were scheduled to be contested: frontball for both boys and girls, doubles frontenis for girls and individual hand fronton 36 metres for boys. A total of 22 athletes (9 boys and 13 girls) competed in the events. Athletes had to be born between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2008 to be eligible (ages 16 to 19).[3]
Teams
A total of 4 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) registered athletes for the basque pelota competitions.[4] Each NOC was able to enter a maximum of 8 pelotaris (4 per gender), with up to two pelotaris for each boys and girls singles events and one only pair for the girls' doubles event.[3]
Numbers in parentheses indicate the number of pelotaris entered the competition by each NOC.
Although the frontball and hand fronton 36 meter events were individual competitions, each NOC could enter a single team of two pelotaris with one starter and one alternate in each match. Girls' doubles frontenis allowed a third pelotari to be entered as an alternate in each match. Pelotaris were allowed to compete in up to two events.
The following pelotaris participated (and/or were alternates) in two events:
