The men’s compound open division (PCM) features Omar Echeverría Espinoza of Quintana Roo, who also competed at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, joined by Gerardo Olegario Rodríguez Banda of Tamaulipas. The full roster reflects a combination of multi-Games experience and rising competitive talent aimed at securing quotas for the country.
