Mexico became the first country this Tuesday to surpass the 100-medal mark at the XXV Central American and Caribbean Games, an achievement reached in just four days of competition in Santo Domingo, which solidified its lead with a total of 138 medals.
Of the 138 medals harvested by the Mexican delegation as of this Tuesday, 57 are gold, 47 are silver, and 34 are bronze. The sports that have yielded the most fruit so far in the competition are taekwondo, rowing, gymnastics, equestrian, diving, judo, and cycling.
The Mexicans, who are competing with 646 athletes, are followed in the medal table by Colombia, which has accumulated a total of 90 medals: 34 gold, 33 silver, and 23 bronze.
Surpassing the 100-medal barrier was celebrated by the director of the National Commission for Physical Culture and Sport (Conade), the former Mexican diver Rommel Pacheco.
"100 medals and we continue to make history! Each medal represents hours of training, sacrifice, and the pride of wearing Mexico's colors. Thank you to every athlete for demonstrating that Mexican talent has no limits," said the congratulatory message shared by Pacheco.
It should be noted that at the Barranquilla 2018 games, Mexico achieved a total of 341 medals, and in San Salvador 2023, it reached 353 medals.
