The Mexican goalkeeper finds his moment
With the label of best national recurve archer, Matías Grande arrived in Puebla carrying expectations. The man from Coahuila, after a path with ups and downs on the world circuit, has just now found the serenity that marks the greats.
The energy of the stands was their fuel. They left India behind and had an impeccable performance in the quarterfinals. A resounding 6-0 victory over Aldar Tsybikzhapov – a neutral athlete – opened the doors to the semi-finals.
“I am very happy, I feel like I am working for this. I would have liked to advance in the teams, I knew it was the last opportunity to go for the medals. Nothing is certain; the focus must be maintained,” he mentioned.
The next challenge has a name: Brady Ellison
Now comes the big thing. Matías will compete for his place in the final against Brady Ellison, the number three in the world. He stressed the key of local support and his desire to give joy to the followers.
“I wanted to turn around and celebrate with the fans. I knew that everyone wanted to take me out; I come prepared. I will go step by step,” he concluded.
Your confidence is at an all-time high. After several occasions missing the podium in Olympic events, this Sunday could be different. Aim and temper are ready.
