The 1982 Central American and Caribbean Games were a vibrant showcase of regional sport and solidarity, uniting athletes from Central America, the Caribbean, and parts of northern South America in a festival of competition that ranged from track and swimming to high-energy team events. Beyond medals and records, the Games leaned heavily into symbolism and design, crystallized in the unforgettable mascot Tocopan — a cheerful, upright crocodile caught mid-stride or mid-sprint. Drawn from a species native to the region, Tocopan fused toughness and resilience with warmth and humor, and quickly became the visual soul of the Games, emblazoned across posters, pins, programs, and other official memorabilia.
