With the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics approaching we are continuing our efforts to talk with athletes who will be attending with current or previous ties to the 21st state.
We now turn our attention to Marco De La Rosa, originally from Chicago, now based in San Antonio, Texas. Marco is a para-shooter competing professionally in the 10-meter Air Pistol category. This will be his second Paralympic appearance, after previously competing in the Rio 2016 games.
Marco joins us to talk about his life, how he got into shooting as a sport and his previous experience in the Paralympics.
