Don't you think if Latin American countries were more open to diversity, they could win more medals?

Lack of diversity is the last of the problems in latinamerica. They don't have the money to invest an athletes as the first world have.

I think Latin America is dealing a lot more with the societal trauma decades of being an ideological battleground of espionage and toppled governments replaced with puppet dictatorships for the interest of foreign global hegemony.

But if all things were equal among all nations and they didn't have to worry about decades of socioeconomic trauma, I think nations with really high populations will have a clear advantage because they have a much wider selection of potential athletes to pull from.
