Mexico's Boccia Team Inches Closer to Paris 2024
Mexico's Boccia team shows promise at Paralympic qualifiers. Individual athletes excel, potentially securing spots for Paris 2024. The medal count grows, highlighting sport's development.
The national boccia team integrated by five athletes of the Mexican Federation of Sports for People with Cerebral Palsy (FEMEDEPC), ended its participation with a fifth and a seventh place in the Coimbra 2024 Paralympic Qualifying Tournament held from March 24 to 28 in Portugal for teams and pairs.
The BC4 pair, formed by the Mexican Karla Maritza Manuel Enriquez and Edgar Mora Cano, finished in fifth place in the tournament, after winning their first match 4-3 against Germany, beating Great Britain in the tiebreaker (after finishing 5-5), losing 3-6 against South Korea and losing 3-6 against Spain. The national duo was just one step away from the semifinals on points difference, as they had two wins and two losses, just like the Spanish duo, which in the end won the bronze medal. Brazil came in first place and Malaysia in second.
