In the 2021 Hyundai Archery World Cup season opener in Shanghai, Mexico’s Andrea Becerra had a remarkable performance, scoring an impressive 713 points in the 50-meter qualifying round. This result not only secured her a top seed position but also marked a significant achievement since her international debut in 2018.
Andrea, also known as Maya by her teammates, expressed her pride in the strength of the Mexican team and their prospects in the World Cup Final. The tournament is scheduled to take place in Tlaxcala for the third consecutive year, and Andrea was determined to secure the top spot once again. Despite consistently strong match results, she had never achieved a high qualifier status before this season. Her personal best scores over the years have hovered around 700 points, but she was close to breaking the world record during the qualifying round in Shanghai.
During that round, Andrea came close to breaking the world record, missing out only on a minor error in the third-to-last end. She noticed that some of her shots were just on the edge of the target, narrowly missing the highest points. In a previous World Cup held in Tlaxcala two years ago, Andrea finished fourth as a host nation invitee. This time around, she is determined to earn her spot without any special invitation and become one of the top archers in the world.
Andrea’s ultimate goal is to secure a place at the World Cup through her exceptional archery skills and dedication to the sport. As she continues to compete at this level and push herself further than ever before, she hopes to inspire others and pave way for future generations of Mexican archers who can compete on an international stage.
Overall, Anderson’s performance at this year’s Hyundai Archery World Cup season opener is truly remarkable, and it will undoubtedly be remembered as one of her greatest achievements yet.
