He argues the Allianz Jean Bouin in 2021 and fell in love with him. Mohamed Katir (25 years old) made good predictions and achieved success, the second after his debut two years ago, in 100 Allianz Jean Bouinin the great celebration of Spanish athletics par excellence, with the participation of almost 20,000 runners in a most complete morning of athletics on the national and international scene, with a total of 17 races scheduled for professionals, schools, federated and athletes who athletes. Open 5K and 10K tests for popular runners. Esther Guerrero (33 years old) also asserted her claim to be one of the main female assets and got the win.
The great athletics festival of 100 Allianz Jean Bouin started in the best possible way, after the soprano Begoña Alberti and the tenor Oriol Alié It gave everyone goosebumps and more than one tear in their eyes after singing Happy Birthday and the mythical and magical song from the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games performed by Queen singer Freddie Mercury and diva Montserrat. I ride It’s not every day and not every athletic event can say they’re a hundred years old and they do it that well. Is left over Allianz Jean Bouin in a moment.
With emotion on the body and after a shower of confetti, the white tide – the color of the official Mizuno technical shirt of 100 Allianz Jean Bouin– entered at full speed on the streets of Barcelona, debuting a new location and a new route for the two famous 5 and 10 kilometer tests. The changes were a success and were applauded by all the participants.
The first athletes to write their names in golden letters this Sunday in the MD Athletic Classic record were the winners of the short distance 5,000 meters, which, like the first edition of the Allianz Jean Bouin in 1920, finished under of the shadow of Arc de Triomf. A few minutes later, the spotlight went to the first Open 10K qualifiers who arrived again at Avinguda Maria Cristina, thanks to the change of the final route, softer and more tolerable in its last meters.
After the famous events, the leading role in the Allianz Jean Bouin is for the little ones, for the first step of athletics through which young athletes pass who later become great figures in athletics, such as This year’s winner Esther Guerrero, Carles Castillejo, Reyes Estévez or the current FC Barcelona soccer player Salma Paralluelo.
Katir and Guerrero lit the fuse of Allianz Jean Bouin
After the appetizers, the delicatessen plate of the MD Athletic Classic, with an international race dispute. I said to the former Mohamed Katir who dreamed of going down in Allianz Jean Bouin history after winning the centenary edition. He, who already won in the year of his debut, is clearly superior to his rivals on the always tough and elite Montjuïc circuit, where athletes have to do three laps to complete 9,900 meters.
Carried by a fan who never stopped chanting his name, and under the look of respect and admiration of many young athletes who did not want to miss seeing their idol run, the brilliant world runner-up in the 5,000 meters and European record holder in the distance of the can, kept his word and achieved a great victory in a dream season. He said Katir that he, like the best wine, shows his best version as his seniority increases and this Sunday he showed it with his victory in 29:45. “It is an honor to go down in history as the winner of the 100th edition of the Allianz Jean Bouin”he pointed to the finish line.
Katir, gran reserva of 1998, went to a group in the first round, but was sentenced to the second to leave alone. With this, the Spanish athlete already has two Clásica Atlética MD wins and it may not be the last. He likes the dean and he likes Barcelona. Now, as in 2021, the Asics Running athlete will seek to do the double and win Vallecana at the end of the year, to say goodbye with the best taste in his mouth in a year that, far from being the best, should serve as a springboard for this massive athlete against a 2024 marked Olympic accent after the event in Paris.
After him, the Spanish-Uruguayan Santiago Catrofe (30:23). Resident in Girona, Catrofe is once again on the verge of success. Third is the Uruguayan Nicolás Cuesta (30:26).
Victory was closer in the women’s category. There were several candidates for victory and after completing two laps of the selective circuit for a total of 6,600 meters, the victory went to the athlete from Banyoles Esther Guerrero (22:48). Linked to Bouin since he started competing here at the age of nine, he won the main event for the first time. was overcome Laura Rodríguez (23:15) and from Bilbao Judith Otazua (23:21). “It was magical for me to run here. I joined for the first time when I was nine years old”Guerrero remembered at the finish line.
It ended this way a magical 100 Allianz Jean Bouin after a sensational morning of sports after more than six hours of the best athletics, full of emotion and passion and great energy, a vitality that only benchmark and integrated events like the Allianz Jean Bouin can show after a hundred years of history so well run . The secret? The love of athletics and staying true to its roots and its triple proposal of betting on scholastic, elite and popular athletics.
