Mat Dominance: Quintana Roo Gladiators Shine with 14 Medals at the 2026 Mexican Open Wrestling Championship

The Quintana Roo delegation reaffirmed its status as a national powerhouse following a historic performance at the **2026 Mexican Open Wrestling Championship** held in Mexico City. With a total of **14 medals (3 gold, 5 silver, and 6 bronze)**, the Caribbean wrestlers demonstrated the results of a high-performance training process backed by CODEQ. This event, sanctioned by the Mexican Federation of Wrestling Medalists (FEMELA), served not only as a talent showcase but as the first qualifying filter to form the national pre-selections for international commitments in the 2026 cycle.

Among the most notable results, the Greco-Roman style was key to the medal haul. Quintana Roo athletes exhibited refined technique and superior physical condition, managing to prevail in categories traditionally dominated by central Mexican states. The consistency shown by figures like the gold medalists underscores the effectiveness of training centers in municipalities such as Benito Juárez and Solidaridad. This sporting success translates into a competitive advantage for the state, positioning its athletes at the top of FEMELA's national ranking.

Participation in this national championship is essential for the development of young gladiators, who now have their sights set on the upcoming stages of the CONADE National Games. Institutional support has been decisive in ensuring the logistics and technical equipment necessary for this level of competition. With these results, Quintana Roo sends a clear message to the rest of the country: the breeding ground for wrestlers in the southeast is stronger than ever and ready to provide the core of the Mexican national team for future Pan American and World competitions.
