The Mexican mixed archery team, made up of Alejandra Valencia and Matías Grande, was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, leaving the country without the opportunity to defend the bronze medal obtained in Tokyo 2020 by the Sonoran and Luis Álvarez.
The Aztec duo appeared on the shooting line to face the round of 16 against the Brazilians Ana Caetano and Marcus D'Almeida, number one in the men's world ranking, whom they defeated 5-1 in a duel that became complicated from the second set, but was defined with two arrows of 10 by Valencia.
