Nearly a hundred competitors will meet towards the National Olympiad.
TIJUANA, Baja California, January 15, 2026.- The state archery selective process towards the 2026 National Olympics will get underway this Saturday on the field of the High Performance Center (CAR) in Tijuana.
Approximately one hundred athletes, accompanied by ten coaches and nine judges, will experience an intense day of competition starting at 8:30 a.m., when archers from the municipalities of Mexicali, Ensenada and Tijuana begin to shoot their arrows at the targets installed on the 16 shooting lines, in search of reaching the quality mark.
The participants will compete in the recurve bow and compound bow modalities, within the official National Olympic categories: sub14, sub16, sub18, sub21 and sub24. The shooting distances will be 40 meters for the children’s category, as well as 50, 60 and 70 meters for the rest of the divisions.
The program includes two classification series during the morning and one more in the afternoon, in a competition that will allow the technical and competitive level of the Baja Californian archers to be evaluated.
The day will also allow coaches and judges to evaluate the training process that has been developed in municipal clubs and schools, strengthening the detection of talent and the technical monitoring of goalkeepers who seek to consolidate themselves in high performance.
With this type of competition, Baja California reaffirms its commitment to the development of archery, a discipline that has historically provided important results at the national level, promoting an orderly and competitive preparation towards the top events on the sports calendar.
This process is part of the path towards the formation of the state selection, whose second and final stage of evaluation will take place on February 21 in the city of Mexicali, where the representatives of Baja California for the 2026 National Olympiad will be defined.
