The Mexican national para-archery team secured six quota places for the Lima 2027 Parapan American Games after capturing two silver medals and one bronze medal in the doubles events at the Para Pan American Championships Lima 2026, Hoy Tamaulipas reported. The continental qualifying tournament runs from October 21 to October 25 in Peru, where the squad met its objective by earning two berths for each of the three pairs that reached the podium.
Double Silver Success in Recurve and Compound Divisions
In the men’s recurve doubles category, Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Paralympian Samuel Efrén Molina Núñez teamed up with Hernán Garza Cuéllar to claim the silver medal.

The continental championship brings together athletes from across the Americas as part of the official pathway toward the upcoming Parapan American Games.
Competition Schedule Through October 25
Action at the continental tournament continues through October 25, while the Mexican delegation heads into the remaining schedule with all six targeted berths already guaranteed.
