Marta Pérez shoots her heart at 200 meters from her 1,500m semifinal. The Soriana, 32 years and five World Cups behind her, dodges, very alive, to the Ethiopian Hailu, fall on the tartan, and follows her own. For some time it is a halffondist “now I know that, suddenly, they put a very fast 200, I can do it,” he says, dripping sweat, already in the mixed area, after finishing off the race (4m 01,19s) with the same solvency to spend the fifth – they saved the first six –
The Soriana, who was born after the Olympic gold of her countryman Fermín Cacho, in the same stage where the final of the Tokyo Games already ran in 2021. A year after his greatest sports success, Marta Pérez, who finished the medicine race and always surrounded him by the head scientific concerns, looked throughout Spain to a physiologist who understood his body, a person who gave him a person who gave him a person who gave him a person who gave him a person who gave him a person who gave him a person. weakness for premenstrual syndrome. Thus he found Dr. Anna Carceller, the perfect complement to the wisdom of her coach, Antonio Serrano.
“Anna has given me a lot because I have opened a world of possibilities of what physiology is in sport,” explains the Spanish plusmarchist. The Catalan, an expert in sports medicine and with a lot of knowledge applied to cycling, has made the athlete grow, which last year, in the Paris Games, became the new Spanish plusmarquist of 1,500m.
At first they refined nutrition, but then many more improvements came: altitude training, supplementation, drink bicarbonate long before everyone did it … as Marta Pérez is a doctor they speak the same language and understands everything he proposes. And so, wiser, the Soriana already dreams of entering among the top eight in the final of Tuesday.
