Mexico's New Archery Dream Team Takes Aim at Paris 2024
Mexico's new Olympic archery team emerges after a thrilling internal battle. Alejandra Valencia leads a squad of young talent into major competitions ahead of Paris 2024. The men's team must still fight for their Olympic qualification, adding to the drama of their journey.
The scent of rosin hung heavy in the air, the taut silence pierced only by the thrum of bowstrings and the soft hiss of arrows in flight. It was the final day of a grueling five-day contest at Mexico's National Center for High Performance Sports – a battleground where archers fought not with swords and shields, but with focus and finesse. At stake? A spot on the Mexican National Archery Team bound for glory at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The path to Paris, as these elite archers knew all too well, was paved with sweat, tears, and countless arrows loosed in relentless practice. And now, as the final results were tallied, six archers emerged from the fray: Alejandra Valencia Trujillo, Ángela Ruiz Rosales, and Ana Paula Vázquez Flores for the women’s team, and Matías Grande Kalionchiz, Carlos Javier Rojas López, and Bruno Martínez Wing for the men’s.
