The sport almanac in Mexico will have a special section for April 11, 12 and 13. In three days, the Mexican flag won a place in the archery podiums and the nailed, two of the sports that have given the country their best sports joys. Alejandra Valencia, one of the most close arches in the world, has reaped a gold and a silver. The stellar pair of the Mexican nailed, Osmar Olvera and Juan Celaya, put their rivals from China again with a valuable second place.
The selection of Mexican arches and archers broke into the World Cup in Florida with a solid consistency. On Saturday, the Mexican delegation stayed with two gold medals, one silver and a bronze. Maya Becerra trident, Dafne Quintero and Mariana Bernal won their final confrontation against Italy’s team. Individually, Becerra hung another gold after knocking Olivia Dean from the United States. Mariana Bernal reached the bronze. Sebastián García fell in the final against Mathias Fullerton in Denmark, although a silver medal was secured.
Already on Sunday, the Mixed Arc Recurvo team has celebrated in style. Alejandra Valencia’s couple, double Olympic medalist, and Matías Grande dispatched the Spaniards Elia Canales and Pablo Acha. Later, Valencia fought again when he played the individual final, although he fell to the British Penny Healey. That medal leaves good feelings for the one born in Hermosillo.
In Windsor, Canada, the Mexican Nail Squadron competed in another World Cup where Gabriela Agúndez and Alejandra Estudillo’s couple won the silver medal. The dream couple, Osmar Olvera and Juan Celaya, stayed with the money with a rating of 381.72 points compared to 388.05 of the Chinese Jiuyuan Zheng and Yukang Hu. A week ago, in Guadalajara, Olvera and Celaya conquered gold in an idyll day by overcoming China’s power. The good moment of Olvera and Celaya has taken off after winning the silver medal at the Paris Olympic Games.
Last Friday, Mexico also won another medal now in the mixed team mode. The group was led by Gaby Agúndez, Mía Cueva, Osmar Olvera and Randal Willars, who managed to get a silver medal only behind the almost infallible Chinese.
Mexico has made the jumps to the pool and archery its best cards in international sport. In the past Olympic Games, three medals of the five won in those disciplines. The Mexican nails will travel to Beijing next May 2 to compete in the Super Final, one of the greatest evidence.
