Peru’s Becerra and Carrillo Repeat Mixed 10m Air Pistol Title

The victory signals stability in Peru’s shooting program, with the pair still entered in individual events and Team Perú holding 17 medals at Santa Fe 2026.

Overview

  • The mixed 10m air pistol gold was secured by Annia Becerra and Marko Carrillo, who repeated their South American Games title in a tightly contested final, according to multiple reports.
  • Becerra and Carrillo credited sustained investment, long hours of training, and support from the Comité Olímpico Peruano and the national shooting federation for the result.
  • The result helped lift Team Perú’s overall tally to 17 medals (reported as 2 gold, 7 silver and 8 bronze) as the delegation continued competing across sports.
  • Two other Peruvian mixed shooting pairs — Alexia Arenas with Diego Morin and José Ullilen with Deysi Jilapa — earned bronze in their events at the shooting range.
  • With Becerra and Carrillo still entered in individual pistol events, federations see the bicampeonato as proof of program continuity and a signal that more medals remain possible in Santa Fe.
