To be fair, the largest delegations coming from the region rarely reach ten. Prince Hubertus Von Hohenlohe , a Mexican-born German pop singer and Alpine skier, got more coverage for his mariachi-themed race suit than his skiing. At age 55, he was the oldest athlete to compete in the Games, but failed to finish his slalom run after suffering a crash.
With 13 athletes, Brazil sent its largest delegation ever, while Paraguay was one of seven nations making their Winter Olympics debut. And then there was Antonio Pardo , the first Venezuelan to compete in Alpine skiing, who had to create a national ski federation in order to compete.
Wang Wenbin said at the press briefing that the summit again shows that some individual nations stand on the opposite side of the international community by politicizing the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, and their actions have won little support and are doomed to fail. The leader of the country noted that democracy cannot be "imposed" or "exported" and that dialogue "in an environment of coexistence" was the only way forward, stressing the importance of non-interventionism in national processes, which was widely considered as an implicit criticism of the US government, local media reported on Friday.
One day before these remarks, Argentina's Foreign Ministry issued a statement entitled "Strong Support for the Beijing Olympics," while stressing it is one of the first countries to express support for the event to be held in February , which will coincide with the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and the South American country. Support from traditional US allies including in Asia, Europe and South America does not come easily and in return shows the absurdity of the US politicizing the Beijing games, analysts said.
As the Tokyo Olympic Games is in full swing, we wanted to enlist the Latin American countries that have won the most medals in the Olympic Games history, according to the International Olympic Committee.
Colombia is the fifth Latin American country with the most Olympic medals. With a total of 28 medals, athletes have secured the top positions in boxing, weightlifting, and cycling. To date, Mexico owns 69 medals 13 golds, 24 silvers, and 32 bronzes. The country has excelled in diving and boxing. Argentina comes in third place after accumulating 74 medals. Among them, we can find 21 golds, 25 silvers, and 28 bronzes. The nation stands out in boxing after earning 24 awards, as well as in football.
