  • The inclusion of compound archery in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic program gives Mexico a chance to compete in the discipline.
  • Andrea Becerra, the world champion and top-ranked archer, said an Olympic medal is the only major achievement missing from her career.
  • She aims to qualify directly but must first overcome Mexico’s national selection process.

Andrea Becerra has won world titles and reached the top of the rankings, but one prize still eludes the Mexican archer: an Olympic medal.

The addition of compound archery to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic program has made that goal possible. Becerra, from Jalisco, told EL UNIVERSAL Deportes that competing for an Olympic medal represents the biggest dream of her career.

I dream of the Olympic medal... It is the only one missing from my career and we are working very hard to get it. We want to qualify directly, so we do not make the path more complicated. There are very few places, that is a reality, but we know we have the ability to be there.

— Andrea BecerraBecerra described her Olympic ambition and Mexico’s qualification challenge.

“ I dream of the Olympic medal... It is the only one missing from my career and we are working very hard to get it,” Becerra said. She added that the team wants to qualify directly because the available route has few places and could otherwise become more difficult.

Becerra said she believes Mexico has the ability to reach the top. The path still runs through a demanding national selection process. She said preparation for a medal requires total focus, with everything else taking second place. With 12 teams expected to compete, she said the chance to fight for a medal is high.

When you prepare to win a medal, everything else takes second place because your focus is completely on that goal. With 12 teams, the probability of fighting for a medal is high.

— Andrea BecerraShe explained her approach to Olympic preparation and assessed the team competition.
