Injury before Olympics

His recovery lasted 15 months[7] and he was unable to compete until the 2017 Bolivarian Games, during which he competed in the 62 kg division winning a gold medal.

World Championships

Mosquera won a gold medal in the 62kg division at the 2017 World Weightlifting Championships in Anaheim,[8] this makes him the second Colombian weightlifter to win a gold medal at the World Weightlifting Championships after Leydi Solís also at the 2017 World Weightlifting Championships.[9] He also won a silver medal in the 62kg division at the 2015 World Weightlifting Championships in Houston.[10]
