Antonio Fernández Fernández (born June 12, 1991) is a Spanish competitive archer.[1] He won a silver medal as a member of the nation's archery squad at the 2015 European Games, and also collected two individual titles in a regional competition, spanning the European Grand Prix and the Mediterranean Games, both of which were held in 2013.[2] Since his sporting debut as a teenager, Fernandez currently trains under the tutelage of his Korean-born coach Cho Hyung-mok for the Spanish team, while shooting at San Jorge de Cáceres.[3]

Fernández rose to prominence in the international archery scene, when he and his compatriots Juan Ignacio Rodríguez and eventual individual champion Miguel Alvariño obtained a silver medal in the men's team recurve final against Ukraine at the 2015 European Games in Baku, Azerbaijan.[4] He promptly followed the team archery results by helping the Spaniards secure a full quota spot for Rio 2016 at the World Championships few months later in Copenhagen, Denmark.[2][5]

At the 2016 Summer Olympics, Fernández was selected to compete for Spain in both individual and team recurve tournaments.[2] First, he amassed a total of 1,986 points to hand the Spanish trio an eighth overall spot in the ranking round, along with his individual score of 657 as the thirty-fifth seed heading to the knockout stage.[6] In the men's team recurve, Fernández and his compatriots Rodríguez and Alvariño bowed out to the Dutchmen in the opening round of the tournament, conceding a slick 1–5 defeat.[7] Few days later, in the men's individual recurve, Fernández avenged his team's early exit by dispatching Chinese Taipei's Kao Hao-wen (6–0) and Italy's no. 3 seed David Pasqualucci (6–2) through the opening rounds, before he was beaten with a 3–7 score by Australia's eventual quarterfinalist Taylor Worth in his succeeding match.[8][9]
