Mexico has achieved a historic milestone at the Central American and Caribbean Games in the Dominican Republic, securing an unprecedented 150 gold medals. This remarkable feat surpasses the nation's previous record of 146 gold medals from the San Salvador 2023 games, underscoring Mexico's continued athletic supremacy in the region.

The success is attributed to the dedication and talent of nearly 700 Mexican athletes. Their commitment has not only broken past records but also demonstrated the strength of various sports disciplines, including artistic swimming, canoeing, modern pentathlon, and athletics, which have been crucial in maintaining Mexico's leading position in the medal standings.

With a total of 346 medals, including 101 silver and 95 bronze, Mexico stands far ahead of its closest competitor, Colombia, which has 77 gold medals. The competition is still ongoing, but Mexico's performance has already cemented its status as the dominant sporting power in Central America and the Caribbean.
