I’m an athlete, I have to march, and they’re judges, they have to make a judgment. Don’t think any more”, The brave Spanish marchers were satisfied.

The real redemption has come to Budapest… and it could be a win-win race, because on Thursday he will run the 35km, the distance he holds the world record for (2 hours, 37 minutes and 15 seconds).

Meters passed, kilometers advanced, the solid front remained, except for the Columbia Arenas, where she was slowed by two warnings in a row. That’s how the test gets halfway there. Mouths change, nerves start to lurk…but everything seems to be the same. Perez walked to his companion’s left in his own mental world. Evaluate your options and sharpen your teeth. Since Ecuadorian Morejon joined from behind, eight walkers have won three medals … but only one has won the world title.

As if a spring jumped inside Maria, she decided to bang on the table. The brutal change of pace caused several companions to suffer. This is the first notice.
