Luis Gabriel Moreno has his eyes on the gold medal at the upcoming Games.
At a tender age of 17, Luis Gabriel Moreno is the “Golden Boy” of Filipino archery, thanks to his history-making feat of winning the country’s first gold medal at the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympic Games.
Moreno paired up with China’s Li Jiaman, and the duo overcame the odds to defeat Germany’s Cynthia Freywald and Malaysia’s Muhamad Zarif Syahiir Zolkepeli 6-0 in the Nanjing finals. Aside from the communication barrier between both athletes, the adverse weather conditions also made winning the gold medal all the more a difficult feat.
Moving on from this victory, Moreno is hoping to gain more exposure in international meets such as the upcoming 28th SEA Games held in Singapore. This is the first time that Moreno will be featuring in the SEA Games and he is targeting a medal finish, in order to boost his dreams of qualifying for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games.
