Italy, Türkiye and France on the podium one day to go

AA/Alger/Aksil Ouali

The Mediterranean Games Oran 2022 (Algeria) will end on Wednesday July 6. One day before the end, these games are largely dominated by three countries, namely Italy, Türkiye and France.

And the general classification should not change, unless a miracle happens. In all cases, it is Italy that finishes first, with a total of 159 medals so far, including 48 gold, 50 silver and 61 bronze.

Italian athletes seem to be insatiable, multiplying titles for the past week, as is the case on this day when they added 11 new medals to their collective capital. Thanks to its momentum during the first days of the competition, Türkiye secures second place with 108 medals, including 45 gold, 26 silver and 37 bronze. Turkish athletes won four medallions on Tuesday, including two gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze.

Italy and Türkiye cannot be overtaken by any of the contenders. In third position, we find France which totals, so far, 81 medals, including 21 gold, 24 silver and 36 bronze, just three new achievements for this day.

The host country, Algeria, has 53 medals (20 gold, 17 silver and 16 bronze). The Algerian athletes contented themselves, during this penultimate day, with a single silver medal. This country must pay attention to Spain which is slowly returning to the rankings, winning 64 titles, including 14 gold, 25 silver and 25 bronze.

There is also the strong comeback of Egypt which moves to 6th place with a total of 64 achievements, including 14 gold medals, 25 silver and 25 bronze.

Serbia tumbles to 7th place with 29 medals, including 13 gold, 7 silver and 9 bronze. Greece (8th) and Portugal (9th) are in the top 10 with 31 medals (10 gold, 11 silver and 10 bronze) and 25 medals (7 gold, 10 silver and 8 bronze) respectively.

Tunisia, it still remains in 10th place, with 27 medals, including 6 gold, 8 silver and 13 bronze. Tunisian athletes won nothing today. Even if it totaled 33 medals (3 in gold, 13 in silver and 17 in bronze), Morocco does not leave the soft underbelly of the classification. He still occupies the 15th position, due to the too low number of gold medals won.
