Those who will accompany “Guanajua” as members of the Aztec representative will be Javier Rojas from Queretaro and Bruno Martínez from Coahuila, both finishing with 435 and 261 points, respectively.

Likewise, in the women’s branch, Alejandra Valencia from Sonora led the classification with 522 units, followed by Ángela Ruiz with 449 and Ana Paula Vázquez with 325. But if in the men’s team there was one or another unexpected result, the ladies were no longer left behind. that Aida Román from Puebla and Mariana Avitia from Monterrey will also not be able to attend the upcoming Olympic Games, being two of the most experienced archers in the nation and even already with medals in the greatest event in international sport.
In this way, in the case of Matías Grande, he already has his foray into the individual modality in the bag, now remaining with Rojas and Martínez the Olympic quota in the team event and to achieve this he will have up to three opportunities, first in the continental competition in Medellín, then in the World Cup in Turkey or, via the list managed by the International Federation (World Archery).
