Jorge González, Abel Jordán, Adrià Alfonso, Guillem Crespí, Esperança Cladera, Jaël Besué, Paula Sevilla and Maribel Pérez. There are eight names and two hearts that are strong and fly. They are equipment. They are the Spanish 4x100m relay. How many, and with great brand (38,57s, 11 hundredths of the national record since 2013); Seconds (42,11s) after Holland, 42.08s. When they guarded the Americans, and final explosion in Vallehermoso, fallen already the night after a very hard afternoon.
The strength of the collective one day in which a second and two rooms were the best in the absence of the last day, the selection is sixth (249 points), 7.5 from Poland, third, in a classification in which Italy stands out (290 points), ahead of Germany (266). To assault the podium on the last day, also surpassing the Holland and Britain, which are between Middle, Spain must rely on their strengths: the 1,500m couple, Águeda Marqués and Adrián Ben; Thierry ndikumwenayo in 5,000m, Saltadora Fátima Diame and the mixed relay, and in the ability to overcome his expectations of Ona Bonet in height jump, by Adrià Alfonso and Jaël Bestué in 200m, that Marta Serrano emulates her attaoui moha in the 3,000m obstacles and the whip of Manu Quijera with the javelin.
And in strengthening with what happened on Saturday, and at the feast of the sprinters, who end up Afonics after their squeaky joy and after singing the happy birthday to the great Paula Sevilla, 28, the goddess of the second curve and the solana, which, after being third in the 400m is second in the short relay, and still keeps strength for the mixed.
The Irish green grass and the Lima Green Track are an immense spreadsheet and geometric figures in the eyes of the technical directors of the selections, which add and subtract and compare with the forecasts. What Laura Redondo earns from the hammer circle (seventh, 10 points) loses it Lester Lescay (ninth, eight points) in the rectangle of the length, and in the straight line of 110 meters quique llopis arises atomic, so fast that the fences are thrown over, and jumps them as it can until in the novena it cannot more. Brink the last two, arrhythmic, stumble and I could not launch with force towards the line. Fourth, 13,40s. And on the same straight line, what Llopis loses is won by Xènia Benach, the Villafranca valid of the Penedés that emerges accelerated as the Valencian, but does not get out of control, but, strong, accelerates yet and is not enough for any in the series B and finally achieves at the age of 25, breaking the barrier of the 13s (12,94s), an obsession. Run the race A (Victoria for two thousandths with 12.39s of the Switzerland Duitaji Kambundji over the Dutch Nadine Visser), Benach finally ends eighth of the 16. “You will not believe it,” he says, “but tonight he had dreamed it, which came down from 13s.” El Flaco Delgado (fifth in 400m fences) ends where he waited, but David González (sixth in height, with 2.21m, his best brand always) and Diego Casas, extraordinary room in the circle of the album (64.77m, in an afternoon in which launch was overcome), when he arrived with the ninth brand, they overcome and compensate.
All the cement of the solidity of the equipment is condensed in two images. A beach and a blow.
The goddess of 4 x 400 Spanish in Canton, who went from Olympus to misery in the blink of an eye. The heavens opened for her, fighting for the victory in the final stretch, and a mark, finally, below 55s, when, in the tenth she fence her foot stumbled. He was not on the floor or a second. I could only cry after finishing and giving at least one point. He won two. His time, 58,27s, was not the last, despite everything.
While the debutant María González Suda ink to avoid the tragedy of a third null in Triple, on Instagram sprout images of the European champion Ana Peleteiro, who renounced the team for “personal reasons”, on the beach of Ribeira with her husband and daughter, happy. González Salta 12,85m, who knows Gloria despite leaving her 14th between 16.
The Mediterranean melee, which has already begun to opt for the transalpins in launch and jump that inaugurated the second afternoon in hell, opts clearly when the sun still burns half of the track. And at the same time, the Poland column shines, and Germany explodes.
Alien to calculations and fainting, and sorrows, happy in the heat, Miltiadis Tentoglou makes the grass to the sun the carpet through which he walks with the bare feet between jump and jump, his heart quiet after having jumped 8.46m, the best world brand of the year, in the first attempt. The competition is for the double Olympic champion the opportunity to mark territory against the Italian emerging Mattia Furlani, who defeated him in the World Cup in Nanjing covered track. Furlani takes the duel seriously, which translates into a better jump of 8.07m and three very null very long by millimeters. In the salad, Lester Lescay participates with excitement. Two nulls in the first two jumps force him to be prudent in the third so as not to be eliminated. Jump without taking even table and stays at 7.80m. For a centimeter does not go to improvement. “I did not risk not being the black sheep of the team,” says the young oriental of Santiago de Cuba, bronze in March in the European on covered track.
As for Tentoglou, the kingdom of Anita Wlodraczyk is not of this world, although it is in it, and its commitment to Poland. At 39 he has been able to lose the strength and speed made by three times Olympic champion between 2012 and 2021, the power that makes him still worldwide plusmarchist for nine years (82.98m), but not the competitive tooth. With a very modest fourth launch of 73.34m, Wlodraczyk, it imposes on all young girls.
