High Jump: Gabriela Agúndez and Alejandra Orozco, close to the medal
The Mexican diving duo that won the silver medal in Tokyo 2020 participated individually in the women’s diving final from the 10-meter platform, one of the specialties of Alejandra Orozco and Gabriela Agúndez.
From the first dives, Agúndez obtained higher scores than Ale Orozco, the flag bearer of the Mexican delegation during the opening of the Olympic Games.
On more than one occasion, Gaby placed first, giving Mexico hope for another medal. However, both she and Alejandra Orozco fell short of the race for another medal for our country, finishing in fifth and eighth place respectively.
Despite not winning a medal, both of them did obtain an Olympic diploma. It is worth noting that this was Alejandra Orozco’s last participation in the Olympic Games, after four editions in which she became a double Olympic medallist.
Equestrian: Andrés Azcárraga bids farewell to Paris 2024 in the final
During the early morning, the rider Andrés Azcárraga took part in the individual equestrian jumping final, he was the 14th competitor to go out on the track with his horse Contendros 2.
The Mexican rider had started his round very solidly by overcoming the first obstacles. However, problems began after the fourth, when he received his first penalties that kept him out of the medal fight.
Unfortunately, Andrés Azcárraga had to withdraw from the competition because Contendros 2 stopped when he was about to jump the seventh obstacle, causing an incident from which the rider emerged unharmed, but which cost him his participation in the final.
The Mexican duo Andrés Azcárraga and Contendros 2 were eliminated from the individual show jumping final in Paris 2024 after an incident in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles.
