List of all Mexican athletes with medals at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games – El Financiero

Paris 2024 has left many people shouting at the screens in Mexico in the early hours of the morning, others cheering live while drinking an 8 euro ‘beer’ at the venues of the Olympic Games, sprinkled with the excitement of the Mexican divers and athletes who won medals or came very close (but took home the glory of being among the best in the world).

Although there have been no medals, there have been historic participations, such as the return to the Olympic Games of the Mexican artistic swimming team, to the rhythm of Queen, after a 28-year absence and after selling towels and swimsuits to finance their expenses.

“It was useful to sell underwear, it was very useful,” Nuria Diosdado, synchronized swimming captain, told TUDN, referring to Ana Guevara’s criticism and the controversy over the withdrawal of scholarships to aquatic athletes. “Beyond the profits to pay for many things for the equipment, it served to create a great army of people who supported us here,” she added.

Bronze: Women’s team archery.

Silver: women’s judo -63 kilograms.

Silver: Men’s synchronized diving on 3-meter platform.

Prior to the start of the sporting event, Ana Guevara, director of the National Commission for Physical Culture and Sport (Conade), announced that the Mexican delegation is seeking 9 medals in Paris 2024.

Days later, the former athlete who won silver in Athens 2004, told ESPN: “We are already minus four: gymnastics, diving, surfing… These are things that happen and we have to move forward and the team must respond.”

The Mexican delegation has the historic record of 9 medals at the 1968 Mexico Olympic Games, followed by the achievement of 8 medals won in London 2012.

Which country has the most medals in Paris 2024?

The United States and China have been vying for the lead in the Olympic medal table, followed by Australia, France and Great Britain in the top five.

Mexico is approximately halfway in a ranking that includes 80 countries, some like Peru are only 1.

How much do Olympic medalists get paid in Mexico?

Ana Guevara has said that there is a prize pool of around 30 million pesos for Mexican athletes, depending on their achievement:

• 3 million pesos: gold medal
• 2 million pesos: silver medal
• 1 million pesos: bronze medal.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has spoken about the origin of the funds for Olympic athletes: “For the first time, the United States, the Department of Justice, is returning to us money that was confiscated from a politician from Coahuila. And that is the money that is going to be used to support the athletes.”

Under other governments, Mexican medalists already received bonuses for sporting achievements. During the López Obrador administration, these benefits were extended to the entire participating delegation and not just to those who won medals, as at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima or the Tokyo Olympic Games. The figure for Olympic athletes without medals in Paris 2024 has not been clarified.

In December, AMLO said there were about $18 million available from the Institute to Return to the People what was Stolen for high-level athletes and that those resources would be expanded this year.
