The athlete of Castellón Paul Torrijos He expressed that, despite the recent injuries sustained, he was optimistic and convinced that he could turn around or cross the line of 17 meters with little regularity, although he clarified that he did not know whether it was on the weekend at the Meeting in Andújar (Jaén), in July or August.
