Cuba's position on the podium is secured by the number of gold medals, rather than the total medal count, which gives them an edge over their closest competitors. Although they match Cuba in total medals (52), they are six golds behind in the standings. Leading the Medal CountMexico dominates the medal count with an impressive 57 gold, 47 silver, and 34 bronze medals, totaling 138. Colombia follows in second place with 34 golds, 33 silvers, and 23 bronzes, making up a total of 90 medals. For Oropesa, this title was particularly meaningful, marking her first individual gold in these games after being a runner-up in Barranquilla 2018 and San Salvador 2023, ending an eight-year wait.
