Juan Holgado had finished 52nd in the individual ranking at the Olympic Games in Seoul in 1988 and did not reach the round of the best 16 teams with the team. Under their Russian trainer Wiktor Sidoruk , the Spanish archers were unable to compete among the best teams at the 1990 European Championships and 1991 World Championships. In June 1992, however, the Spanish team finished fourth at the European Championship. At the beginning of August 1992 at the Olympic Games in Barcelona , four European teams surprisingly reached the semi-finals. There the Spaniards with Alfonso Menéndez , Antonio Vázquez and Juan Holgado, who had finished 45th in the individual ranking, beat the British with 236 to 234 rings, in the final the three Spaniards prevailed in front of the home crowd with 238 to 236 against the Finns .
