At the close of competition on September 15, 2026, the province of Chimborazo reached a total of 30 medals and 854 points in the XVII Juegos Nacionales de Menores Guayas 2026, according to results released by the Federación Deportiva de Chimborazo. Held across 21 days from September 7 to September 27, 2026, the national multisport event brings together athletes representing all 24 provinces of Ecuador.
Following nine days of events in the Guayas-hosted tournament, Chimborazo stands in third place in the overall medal standings while securing fourth place in the province-wide points table, as detailed by regional sports reports. Provincial standings are calculated using accumulated scores across multiple disciplines, including judo, boxeo, karate do, tiro con arco, and atletismo.
Medal Breakdown and Provincial Standings
Data compiled from the Federación Deportiva de Chimborazo shows the province’s 30 total preseas comprise 10 gold medals, 11 silver medals, and 9 bronze medals. In the overall points table led by Guayas with 1,667 points, Pichincha sits second with 1,100 points, and Imbabura holds third with 1,002 points. Chimborazo follows closely behind in fourth place with 854 points, ahead of Azuay in fifth with 775 points and Los Ríos in sixth with 733 points, based on a data cutoff from FEDENADOR.
Because the youth games span nearly three weeks, these figures represent an interim snapshot. Regional sports organizers note that provincial totals will shift as remaining disciplines and athletes complete their respective schedules before the closing ceremonies on September 27.
