Cuba's position in Paris 2024 if medals from athletes under other flags were included.

The official delegation of Cuba ranked 32nd in the final medal table of the Paris 2024 Olympics, with a total of two gold medals, one silver, and six bronze. However, how would the island fare if we included the medals won by athletes who competed for other countries?

First, it is important to remember the main results of the delegation under the auspices of the National Institute of Sports, Physical Education and Recreation (INDER), which celebrated the titles of wrestler Mijaín López (Greco, 130 kilograms) and boxer Erislandy Álvarez (63.5).

Similarly, she praised the silver of Yusneylis Guzmán (wrestling, 50kg) and the bronzes of Yarisleidis Cirilo (canoeing), Arlen López (boxing, 80), Luis Orta (greco wrestling, 67), Rafael Alba (taekwondo, over 80), Gabriel Rosillo (greco wrestling, 97), and Milaimy Marín (wrestling, 76).

Meanwhile, the group of Cubans under other flags, which included 21 athletes, won eight medals, divided into one gold, four silvers, and three bronze positions.

The crown went to the headliner Jordan Díaz (Spain) in a triple jump competition that left a complete podium of exiles, as he was followed by Pedro Pablo Pichardo (Portugal) and Andy Díaz (Italy), in that order.

The wrestler Yasmani Acosta (Chile/Greco, 130), the boxer Loren Berto Alfonso (Azerbaijan/92), and the volleyball player Wilfredo León (Poland) finished their performances in second place, while the bronze went to the boxers Enmanuel Reyes (Spain/92) and Javier Ibáñez (Bulgaria/57).

It is clear that the Cuban diaspora tied in medals with the official delegation. That said, we must answer the question: how would the island fare if we included the medals of the athletes who competed for other countries?

After digging into the official medal tally and making calculations, Cuba would have finished in 22nd place, with a total of three golds, five silvers, and nine bronzes, and even then, the INDER's forecast for its national delegation in Paris would not have been met. Nonetheless, of course, all of this remains in the realm of speculation.
