* There is a mismatch between the unofficial medal count above and the published medal count. This is explained by the fact that the source reports that in the women's 20 km race walk competition, Magaly Andrade from Ecuador won the silver medal and Luz Villamarín from Colombia won bronze. However, all other sources and a special report on the race walking competitions list Luz Villamarín second and Magaly Andrade third.
