What began as a hobby has turned Molina into one of the world’s leading para archers in less than a decade, and his desire to compete in Ahmedabad later this year shows he has no intention of slowing down.
At 44, Molina is far from finished.
Missing out on the gold medal match before losing the bronze medal match at the Gwangju 2025 World Archery Para Championships has only fuelled his desire to succeed.
As well as wanting to win, though, Molina wants to be “great”.
An ambition that means something different to every athlete but, for him, it is about challenging the status quo.
“From the beginning, one of the goals we set was to compete against the able-bodied athletes and give them a good challenge.”
“Sharing the field with them has always been one of my dreams and one of my goals. We’re at a good level.”
“We’ve been working with coach Sandra [Fabiola Loza Tenorio], who’s been guiding me, and day by day we’ve been making progress and improving our scores,” he added. “I think every athlete dreams of achieving something great, and for me, doing well at a World Cup is a major accomplishment.”
