Mexico at the Paralympics

Mexico made its Paralympic Games debut at the 1972 Summer Paralympics in Heidelberg, with a delegation of seven athletes competing in track and field, swimming, weightlifting and wheelchair fencing. It has competed in every edition of the Summer Paralympics since then, and made its Winter Paralympics début in 2006.^[1][2]

Mexicans have won a total of 328 Paralympic medals, of which 107 are gold, 98 silver and 123 bronze,^[3] placing the Top-30 on the all-time Paralympic Games medal table. Although Mexicans did not win any medals at the 1972 Games, they swept up sixteen gold (fifteen in athletics, one in swimming) in 1976, along with fourteen silver and nine bronze, and continued to win medals during every subsequent edition of the Summer Games.^[4]

Among the most successful Mexican Paralympians, Josefina Cornejo won four gold medals in track and field at the 1976 Games, reiterating that result four years later. Runner Juana Soto also took four gold in 1980, as did Leticia Torres in 1988.^[5]

Mexican delegations to the Winter Games, by contrast, have been small (one competitor in 2006, two in 2010, and one each from 2014 to 2026), and have not won any medals.^[6]

Mexican athletes who have won at least three gold medals or five or more medals of any colour.
