Alejandra Valencia, even with the weather against her, had a great presentation at the Archery World Championship that takes place in Berlin, Germany.
With the task of achieving the Olympic pass granted by this competition, the Tokyo 2020 medalist had a great performance in the recurve bow modality.
The Mexican consolidated herself at the top of the standings, after being the most effective of the afternoon.
He showed his quality in each of his shots, despite the wind and rain that prevailed in the German capital. He finished this first stage with a total of 675 units out of a possible 720.
Although she was tied with the Korean Lim Sihyeon, Ale was placed as the best seed because she shot a greater number of tens, hitting 36 times, compared to 34 for the Asian.
Consequence of achieving the best score, Valencia Trujillo, 28, will not play the first two rounds and will go directly to the round of 16.
I feel happy with the results, especially after the weather conditions, he said at the end of his participation.
Ángela Ruiz, for her part, ranked 40th with 631 points, and will face Tsiko Putkaradze, while Aída Román, with 620, stayed in 58th place and her rival will be the Canadian Kristine Esebua. Both will go automatically to the first stage and will begin in thirty-seconds.
The women’s team, made up of Valencia, Ruiz and Román, reached 1,926 points to rank as the seventh best team, a test in which three spots for the 2024 Paris Olympics will be awarded.
In the men’s category, Carlos Rojas was the best compatriot in the Berlin tournament. Rojas was positioned in 42nd place; Caleb Urbina, on the other hand, finished in 46. The only one who did not make the cut was Matías Grande (116).
The men’s team, represented by Rojas, Urbina and Grande, finished on the 18th place.
Medals will also be fought in the mixed modality, where Alejandra Valencia and Carlos Rojas finished second.
