Álvarez was selected as a member of the Mexican male archery team to compete at the 2012 Summer Olympics at London, after winning the 2012 Archery World Cup in Ogden, United States. This was the first Olympic games for the Mexican archer.[1][2] At the 2012 Olympics, in the men's individual event, he was ranked 30th after the ranking round. He then beat Yavor Khristov in the first elimination round, before being beaten by eventual gold medallist Oh Jin-Hyek in the second round.[3] In the men's team event, Mexico beat Malaysia and France before losing to Italy in the semifinal. Mexico lost out on the bronze medal, losing the bronze medal match to South Korea 215–219.[3]
He won the bronze medal with Alejandra Valencia in the inaugural archery mixed team event at the 2020 Summer Olympics.
