Bruno Hortelano couldn’t help but feel better in his first 200 of the season outside, after winning Wednesday at Joan Serrahima Barcelona stadium with a time of 20.71 seconds and a headwind of 0.3 m/s.
Hortelano, who holds the Spanish record with a time of 20.04 seconds, has not lowered the 21-second barrier since 2018, when he set the national record.
Since then, injuries have prevented Bruno Hortelano, who was declared European champion in the 200 meters in 2016, from regaining his best level, confirmed by the 21.25 seconds he achieved last year as his best time in the doubles event. hectometer.
A negative dynamic that seems to have changed for sure this winter after qualifying for the Indoor World Championships held in March in Belgrade at 400 meters.
Trial in which Hortelano, 30, reached the semifinals in the Serbian capital. Just a preview of what happened in the 4×400 relay, where Bruno Hortelano certainly contributed to the silver medal won by the Spanish team.
A complete victory that seemed to give new life to Hortelano, who on Wednesday lowered the 21-second barrier for the first time in the last four years in control held at the Joan Serrahima stadium in Barcelona.
Even the bad wind of 0.3 meters per second did not stop the victory of Hortelano who, in a time of 20.71, won ahead of Julio César Brito, second with a time of 21.62, and Miguel Gasch, third with 21.80.
That record puts Hortelano in first place in the Spanish classification for the year, although it is still far from the -20.24- minimum required to participate in the World Cups to be played next July in the U.S. town of Eugene.
