Organizers have built more than a dozen new stadiums in the Guadalajara metropolitan area, in addition to a baseball venue in Lagos de Moreno, 200km northeast of the city. The resort city of Puerto Vallarta, to the west of Guadalajara, will host the beach volleyball, sailing, triathlon and open-water swimming competitions.

Many of the venues have received positive reviews, including the newly build aquatic center in the Guadalajara suburb of Zapopan.

"It's one of the most modern in the world. FINA has rated it above the 'Cube' in Beijing," Martinez said. "All of the swimmers that have been here said that it's one of the best pools in the world."

The swimming venue will be in high demand after the games close on Oct. 30 as the International Swimming Federation (FINA) already has awarded Guadalajara the spot as hosts for the 2017 World Swimming Championships.

Guadalajara had planned to take advantage of its new facilities and bid for the 2017 Youth Olympic Games but problems with financing, however, forced Mexican officials to abandon those plans for now.

All of the facilities will be managed by Jalisco state officials after the Games and used to develop future national-level athletes, Martinez said.

Several of the facilities were not completed until the last minute and the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) did not certify the athletics stadium until Tuesday. Organizers were forced to relocate the facility on short notice to the north side of Guadalajara due to environmental concerns at a previous location.
