Mexico will compete at the 2008 Summer Olympics.
[edit] 
Archery
Mexico will send archers to the Olympics for the eighth time; the nation has yet to win an Olympic medal in the sport. The nation will send two men, after Luis Eduardo Velez Sanchez earned a qualifying spot during the 2007 World Outdoor Target Championships and Juan Rene Serrano added another spot at the Pan American championships. Two women will also represent Mexico, with both spots being earned at the Pan American tournament (by Janeth Garcia and Aida Roman). Mexico has not announced its final selections for its Olympic team.[1]
[edit] 
Boxing
Mexico qualified three boxers for the Olympic boxing tournament. Santos Reyes was the first, qualifying in featherweight at the World Championships.[2] Valdez was the second, qualifying at the first American qualifier.[3] Vargos was the last, earning his spot at the second American tournament.[4]
- Bantamweight: Oscar Valdez
- Featherweight: Arturo Santos Reyes
- Lightweight: Francisco Vargas
