Medalists

Archery

Mexico sent archers, two men and two women, to the Olympics for the eighth time, and had yet to win an Olympic medal in the sport. Two men received qualifying places in archery, 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. The two women, Mariana Avitia and Aída Román, both earned their Olympic spots at the Pan American tournament.
