Mexico City (APRO) – Two-time Olympic medalist Alejandra Valencia has denounced on social networks that the sports scholarship awarded to her by the National Sports Council (CONA) was reduced after she finished third in the women’s archery team at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“I came to sign my scholarship documents but I found out that due to the operating rules of CONADE, they lowered my scholarship after I won an Olympic medal. No, thank you very much,” he wrote on his X account (formerly Twitter).

The archer received a scholarship of 46,000 pesos before the 2024 Paris Olympics for winning a silver medal at the 2023 Berlin World Championships, but, according to the Conade operating rules in Annex 4, only the most recent result, in this case the bronze medal, is considered for the scholarship.
According to the Conade table, the goalkeeper will now receive 36,000 pesos per month, like her teammates Ana Paula Vazquez and Angela Ruiz. In 2023, Conade published new rules for the operation of scholarships, in which medals in individual events in any international competition are more valuable than those in shared format.
As for individual medals, silver medalists Marco Verde and Prisca Awiti will receive a monthly scholarship of 52,000 pesos, while athletes such as Emiliano Hernández or Randal Willars, who placed fourth individually, will receive a monthly scholarship of 41,000 pesos.
