SANTIAGO
Ecuador’s national team has 23 medals in eleven days of competition at the Pan American Games held in Santiago. This figure is far from what was recorded at the Lima 2019 edition: 32 medals (10 gold, 7 silver, 15 bronze).
During these days of competition in Santiago 2023, qualifications for the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 were achieved by: José Rodríguez and María José Palacios, in boxing; Julio Mendoza, in riding; Diana Durango, in archery; Andrés Torres and María Sol Naranjo, in the pentathlon.
The leader in the medals table is the United States with 171 medals (72 gold, 45 silver and 54 bronze); followed by Brazil, 125 (37 gold, 48 silver and 40 bronze); Canada, 105 (35 gold, 32 silver and 38 bronze); and Mexico 90 (35 gold, 22 silver and 33 bronze). (D)
