Date:

The Castellón cyclist Sebastian Mora explained that recently bronze medal obtained at the European Championships in Munichin the test of omniumhas been very special after two months of immense sacrifice to recover from his broken collarbone suffered in June.

Mora, 34, said it was “happy, I’ve never had an injury this significant. Everything I experienced and everything I had to do in the weeks before the European Championship was new for me. And the truth is, it was very difficult, I only “prepared” the tournament for the last four weeks. Being in Munich is already an achievement. To get a medal, the best”.

In the statements to the FER Project, the long-distance runner from Vila-real pointed out that it always hurts not to win and added that when everything is very tight and the podium is decided at the last minute and, moreover, when the six The medal he won in the previous European was gold.

“But hey, third place in the omnium of a continental competition is a great result. They told me a month ago, and I would have signed it without hesitation”, added the FER athlete, admitting that his injury conditioned him.

“In the first place, because I didn’t make it all the way and, secondly, because, as I accumulated efforts, I suffered more discomfort. For example, in the last round of the omnium, in the scoring, I lacked stability in my arm and back, my scapula hurt, I tried to get off the bike to sprint and I couldn’t…”, he recalled.

in Munich, Mora is the fifth Madison to form a couple with Albert Torres, which he hasn’t competed in since the Tokyo Olympics a year ago. “We blame that long parenthesis. Before every big event, we prepare madison thoroughly. This time, between my bad luck and Albert’s road cycling obligations, we weren’t able to do it the way we wanted”, he said.

“In terms of rapport, looks or gestures, we don’t notice much, but technically, yes, quite a lot. All in all, if we had not experienced the two breakdowns we had in the middle of the race, we could have chosen the podium”, he pointed out.

Finally, Mora proved it “Regarding the World Cup, the expectation is good. We have two months ahead and I will come much better. In addition, there will be more levels, we will need to prepare it perfectly. As for the Games, this is the great goal, but there is a long way to go “

“But what this bronze medal from Munich conveyed to me the most is that there is no better recipe than work, perseverance, sacrifice and fighting for a goal”, he concluded.
