The Spanish athlete Ignacio Fontes made it clear that he wanted to participate in the next one Budapest World Cupsafter winning this Monday in the final of the 1,500 meters of the meeting of Marseilles with a time of 3:34.29 minutes.
Mark that allowed the man from Granada, a finalist at the last Olympic Games in Tokyo, to lower the minimum mark -3:35.90- required by the Spanish Federation to attend the World Cup, after running on June 14 in Castellón by moments from 3:35.53.
A “bite” of 1.24 seconds allowed Ignacio Fontes to clearly prevail this Monday in Marseille ahead of Frenchman Bastien Augusto, second in time 3:34.85 minutes, and Kenyan Daniel Munguti, third in 3 :35.34.
For his part, the Sevillian Gonzalo García, a finalist in the European Championships held last year in Munich, finished in sixth position after setting his personal best with a time of 3:35.75 minutes.
One place behind, in seventh place, Álvaro de Arriba from Salamanca completed his performance in the final 800 meters after achieving a time of 1:46.68 minutes, a record not enough to discuss the victory over the British Ben Pattison , who prevailed with a mark of 1:45.05
