Ibrahim Chakir managed to become the best Spaniard in the marathon of the Paris Olympic Games. Soriano finished 34th position five minutes from Tamarit Tolarace winner with an Olympic record.
When the tour ends 2 hours, 11 minutes and 44 seconds, outperforming key rivals such as Bekele or Kipchoge, Ibrahim Chakir explains what he went through to get in good shape for the big event. He was overcome with emotion and broke his microphones before being able to finish on a high note.
“I arrived well, I ran well. I enjoyed every meter of the course. It’s inexplicable. I had a bad time these months, at the European Championship in Rome I was fine, butor an accident gave me a crack in my ribs. They criticized me because I was not good, but because of that accident. I swear I trained hard, sick, because I don’t want to miss a day of training. I trained on a crack. I had to keep adding for today. Thanks to Edurne, a physio from Soria who treated me for free these months. Eternal gratitude to everyone who supported me. Forgive me for this fall, but I had a very bad time,” he said to the microphones of RTVE.
Despite this injury that reduced his physical condition, Chakir’s role was at a high level and hence the tears of emotion filled with joy after all the sacrifices.
