Nin Reyes competed at the 2021 Pan American Championships in Rio de Janeiro, his final opportunity to win an Olympic spot. [44] However, an ankle injury limited him to two events, meaning he could not earn the Olympic spot. [18] [45] [44] He finished 21st in the all-around at the 2022 Pan American Championships. [46] At the end of 2022, he injured a ligament in his right ankle, but he chose to not undergo surgery in order to compete for the spot at the 2024 Olympic Games. [2] [18]

At the 2023 Pan American Games, Nin Reyes finished fifth in the all-around final. Because he was the highest-placing gymnast who had not already qualified for the 2024 Olympic Games, Nin Reyes received the individual quota.
