Mexico will make history in artistic gymnastics at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games by competing for the first time with three athletes.
The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) certified Ahtziri Sandoval’s classification after his great performance on the uneven bars during the Antwerp 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.
I am very grateful, very excited, and this would not have been possible without the support of my entire family, my coach Adrián Meza and my entire team that has been throughout my sporting career; This is just beginning, to give everything and represent Mexico with great pride, said the gymnast.
The woman from Jalisco was number 27 in the world in the previous round with a score of 13,366.
The other two places went to Alexa Moreno in all around and one more for teams.

The American star achieved her third victory and immediately the fourth gold medal at the 2023 Artistic Gymnastics World Cup by winning the balance beam and floor finals in an overwhelming manner on the last day of the competition.
In Antwerp, where she began her collection of 23 world titles a decade ago as a 16-year-old, Biles returned to the international stage.
The American also won a silver medal in the horse vault after winning her sixth title in the all-around competition to become the most decorated gymnast in history, man or woman. She also led the United States team to achieve a seventh consecutive victory.
Biles has a record total of 37 medals in the World Cups and Olympic Games.
