Mexico will send archers to the Olympics for the eighth time; the nation has yet to win an Olympic medal in the sport. The nation will send two men, after Luis Velez earned a qualifying spot during the 2007 World Outdoor Target Championships and Juan Serrano added another spot at the Pan American championships.[2] Two women will also represent Mexico, Mariana Martinez and Aida Roman, with both spots being earned at the Pan American tournament.[1]
