The London qualifying competition was held in August 2011 in London at [[Stoke Mandeville]], with Rodríguez competing to try to earn Spain one of the twenty qualifying spots on offer. There was no funding for him and other Spanish archers to compete at the London-hosted event because [[Federación Española de persones con Discapacitad Física]] refused to prioritize the sport after poor performances by Spanish archers at the previous world championships held in Turin. Funding to attend instead came from regional sports federations.[{{cite web |url=http://lacomunidad.elpais.com/tiro-con-arco-adaptado/2011/8/16/sergio-llamas-stoke-mandeville-busca-una-plaza-para |title=Comunidad El Pais » tiro-con-arco-adaptado » Sergio Llamas a Stoke Mandeville en busca de una plaza para Londres 2012 |publisher=Lacomunidad.elpais.com |date=2011-08-16 |access-date=December 1, 2013 |language=es |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203025315/http://lacomunidad.elpais.com/tiro-con-arco-adaptado/2011/8/16/sergio-llamas-stoke-mandeville-busca-una-plaza-para |archive-date=December 3, 2013}}] The 9th Toralín Ponferrada Archery Challenge was held in December 2011.
