Athletes from Morelos have secured eight places in badminton for the 2026 National Olympics (Olimpiada Nacional CONADE), following a strong performance at the national qualifying event held in Guadalajara, Jalisco. This achievement underscores the ongoing efforts to strengthen competitive sports within the state.
The success is attributed to the support provided by the state’s Executive Power through the Institute of Sports and Physical Culture of Morelos (Indem), led by Juan Felipe Domínguez Robles. Indem continues to create opportunities for athletes to compete at the highest level and represent the state with pride.
Mía Ramírez Sandoval qualified in the singles competition for the under-13 age group. Santiago Ramírez Sandoval will compete in both singles and mixed doubles, even as Kiara Mazón González secured a spot in mixed doubles – both in the under-15 category.
Representing the under-17 division are Iván Barrera Cruz, competing in singles and mixed doubles; Dana Jacobo Arroyo, in both doubles and mixed doubles; and Diana Téllez Buenosaires, in doubles.
In the adult category, Sofía Ruiz Toledo will participate in singles and mixed doubles. Emiliano Carrera Gutiérrez also qualified in singles and mixed doubles, with strong potential to repeat his individual medal-winning performance from the previous edition of the National Olympics.
The dedication and discipline of Morelos’ young athletes, combined with the coordinated efforts of coaches, sports associations, and sports authorities, were instrumental in achieving these results. The Indem has reaffirmed its support for the selected state athletes who will represent “The land that unites us” at the 2026 National Olympics, aiming to further establish Morelos as a breeding ground for talent across various disciplines.
