The success of the Mexican team at the 2025 Junior Pan American Games

The Mexican sport shooting team shone at the Asunción 2025 Junior Pan American Games by winning three silver medals, an achievement that features coach Óscar Guillermo Taubig, whose strategy and leadership were key to this outstanding performance.

Mexican athletes stand out in pistol and air rifle

Sofía Ibarra emerged as the most prominent figure by obtaining two medals: one in the individual modality and another in a mixed team with Erick Ruiz, in the 10-meter air pistol discipline. For their part, Hanna Cisneros and Josué Rodríguez also reached the podium with silver in air rifle, consolidating the talent of the tricolor team.

“Success is based on the persistence and character of athletes,” Taubig said. “We work on technique, psychology and values so that they trust in their potential and celebrate each achievement,” added the coach, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive approach in the preparation of young people.

The dreamer spirit as the key to high performance

According to Taubig, the main virtue of these athletes is their dreamer mentality, which allows them to believe in their abilities regardless of the obstacles. “The young people maintain a positive and committed attitude, without looking for excuses to miss training,” he explained. This philosophy has been fundamental for their performance in international competitions.

In addition, the support between colleagues from the stands of the Shooting Range reinforced the cohesion of the team, demonstrating that group work is just as important as individual performance.

This success not only consolidates Mexico as an emerging power in sports shooting, but also lays the foundation for future generations of athletes willing to compete at the highest level.

United States advances to the round of 16 after beating Bosnia

The United States wins 2-0 despite playing with ten men for half an hour.

Agonizing victory with one less man

The United States team secured its place in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup by beating Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 at the San Francisco Bay Stadium. The high-intensity match left moments of tension and an expulsion that marked the development.

The first goal came just before halftime. Folarin Balogun took advantage of a deviation in the Bosnian defense and made it 1-0 in the 45th minute. However, the advantage was complicated in the second half: Balogun himself received a direct red card in the 64th minute after a strong tackle that injured defender Tarik Muharemovic.

Despite playing with ten, the local team resisted and sealed the victory in the 82nd minute. Malik Tillman executed a spectacular free kick with his right foot to make it 2-0.

With this result, the United States will face Belgium next Monday, July 6 at Seattle Stadium. Balogun’s expulsion could have consequences for that match, although the team showed the ability to overcome adversity.
