Puerto Rico reached a significant milestone at the regional multi-sport games by capturing its 20th medal of the competition, propelled by a gold-medal performance in archery and a bronze medal in surfing. The dual podium finishes bolstered the delegation’s standing during the ongoing events in the Dominican Republic.
The achievement reflects consistent performances across multiple disciplines as athletes compete against top regional rivals. Delegation officials noted that maintaining momentum in technical sports like archery alongside wave sports remains vital for overall medal table positioning.
