Portugal achieved a record of 32 medals at the Mediterranean Games, of which half were gold, surpassing initial expectations. This result was achieved at a sporting event that took place recently.
The Portuguese performance opened good prospects for the upcoming Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, demonstrating the potential of the Portuguese delegation in large-scale international competitions.
Athletics and swimming were largely responsible for this success, standing out as the strengths of the Portuguese team during the competition.
On the other hand, canoeing and judo, two traditionally strong sports for Portugal, did not contribute as much to the medal tally due to significant absences in these areas.
