Ernesto Boardman shows seriousness in his intention to qualify for the Olympics
Ernesto Boardman demonstrated at the National Archery Tournament that his intention to qualify for the Olympics is a serious matter. The archer defeated Iván González, while the bronze medal went to Jorge Nevarez, from Nuevo León.
"My first goal in this National Tournament was to advance to the round of the top 16, and the second one was to become the national champion. Both goals were achieved and I am very happy. Now we must work to be among the four who will compete in the World Cups and then, among the top three for the World Championship to be held in Mexico City in October. The fact that this world competition is an extra motivation obliges us to work and train harder to achieve better results and why not win medals," stated Boardman after winning the national title.
