In the first qualifying round of the Hyundai Archery World Cup season opener in Shanghai, 23-year-old Mexican archer Andrea Becerra had a career day. She scored an impressive 713 points, earning her a top seed for the first time since making her international debut in 2018. After the session, she expressed confidence in her team, stating that Mexico is stronger than ever and has been performing at a high level that she hopes will carry them to the World Cup Final.
For the third year in a row, the tour’s grand finale will be held in Mexico, specifically in Tlaxcala for the second time in three years. Andrea, also known as Maya among her team members and on the archery line, was determined to secure the top spot in qualification. Despite consistently achieving match results, she had never been a high qualifier in the past. However, her recent performance had her on track to potentially break a world record, as she narrowly missed only by a few points.
Two years ago, Andrea finished fourth at the Hyundai Archery World Cup Final in Tlaxcala as a host nation invitee. This time around, Maya is determined to earn a spot at the World Cup Final without any special invitations. Her goal is to continue her success and secure a place in the prestigious tournament through her own accomplishments and qualifications.
Andrea has come a long way since making her international debut two years ago. Her consistent performance on the archery line has earned her recognition from both her teammates and fans alike. She is confident that with hard work and dedication, she can continue to achieve great things on behalf of Mexico and bring home medals for their country.
As we head into this year’s tournament season opener in Shanghai, it’s clear that Andrea Becerra is one of Mexico’s strongest contenders for success. With world records within reach and an unwavering determination to succeed, there’s no doubt that this season will be one to remember for this talented young archer from Mexico.
