Archer Overcomes Injury to Qualify for Paris 2024
Mexican archer Ana Paula Vázquez overcame a severe shoulder injury to qualify for Paris 2024. Her journey from American football to archery, marked by resilience and determination, makes her a true inspiration.
Rising from the ashes like the Phoenix is a feat that few can boast of, and in that select group is the Mexican archer Ana Paula Vázquez Flores, who arrives at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after overcoming a considerable injury and shoulder surgery that kept her away from high performance for almost a year.
“Ana Paula Vázquez is a very eager person in many things, she has many dreams and some of them are all the upcoming Olympic Games. It is not only about winning, but about leaving a positive mark on sports, women and the population in general, because it is the only thing we leave in this world. I like to feel that I am doing something to achieve it and not just waiting for it to arrive,” she said.
