Guadalajara, Mexico - Mexico snapped up 21 medals, 6 of which gold, as the 2012 Paralympics came to an end with the closing ceremony on Sunday.

Mexico was able to just beat the 20 medal haul they took home from Beijing back in 2008 by clinching two more golds, despite finishing 23rd at the medals table, nine positions below that of their 14th place finish in Beijing.

Amalia Perez took Mexico's first gold of the games in the Women's 60 Kg Power Lifting event, setting a personal record with a lift of 135 Kg, and beating Yan Yang of China and Amal Mahmood of Egypt.

Eighteen-year-old Sanchez Martinez was one of the stars in the pool, despite having disappointingly just missed out on Gold in the Men's 150 medley to Leslie Cameron of New Zealand, he was able to rectify the disappointment by winning gold medals in both the Men's 100 and 200 metres medley races.

Mexico's most successful event in the games was Swimming, racking up a total of 9 medals, with a further gold coming from Juan Reyes in the 50 metres backstroke race.

Mexico also had great success in athletics, taking nine medals, two of which gold, with Angeles Ortiz Fernandez winning the Women's Shot Put and Luis Alberto Zepeda Felix clinching gold in the Men's Javelin competition.

The overall medals table saw China rank on top with 231 medals, followed by hosts Great Britain with 120, and Russia winning 120. The United States came in 6th with 98 medals and Canada in 20th place with a total of 31 medals.
