Eight years after competing in his first Olympics, Elias qualified for his third Mexican team, as a 31-year-old, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by obtaining a gold medal in the air rifle from the 2005 Championships of the Americas in Salinas, California. He scored a total of 590 targets in the men's 10 m air rifle, by one point ahead of South Korea's Han Jin-Seop from the final attempt, finishing only in twenty-fifth place.Olympic results
