As of Monday morning, 17 Hispanic athletes from six countries had won Olympic hardware in Brazil.

Flash back to the 1968 Mexico City summer games - the last time Latin America played host - and only 16 medals were awarded to predominately Spanish-speaking nations. Cuba had four; Argentina two; Venezuela one; and Mexico nine, though their single-digital medal count remains a record-low for a host country.

Latinos primarily earned their gold medals in either boxing or swimming events. Today, they excel in everything from gymnastics to tennis to track and field.

The first week of the Rio Olympics brought the first-ever Puerto Rican tennis gold medalist, Argentina's first-ever judo gold medal winner, and a weightlifting Colombian who promptly retired after winning gold.

That doesn't even factor in contributions from Cuban, Venezuelan, and American Olympians who took part in medal ceremonies. Here's a look at where Latin American countries stand with a week left in Rio.

Here's a look at the other Latino Olympic winners.

Mexico Shut Out

Mexico, a nation with over 100 participants, has not made a dent on the medal count.

No individual has made it to an event final. The men's Olympic soccer team, which placed first in the London games, didn't make it out of the group stage in Rio.

Adding insult to injury, 22-year-old Alexa Moreno was body shamed by Twitter users who didn't believe she fit their image of a gymnast. Social media users flocked to Moreno's defense, posting motivational tweets reminding Moreno that she was an inspiration to Olympic hopefuls all over the world.
