The first one has arrived. This Thursday, the Spanish delegation opened their medal counter at the Paris Paralympic Games. He did it thanks to Ricardo Ten, who achieved bronze in the C1 category of the track cycling pursuit to increase his legend.
In a Vélodrome National dedicated and a great spectacle, the Valencian cyclist beat the German Pierre Senska in the head-to-head battle he had to overcome to enter the podium. It was in the morning that he left great sensations in the preliminary, where he with authority surpassed his rival in a qualification where China closed the doors of gold and silver.
In the afternoon he repeated those good vibes and, at 3:45.152, he did not give an option to his rival, who stayed at 3:50.926. Ten has dominated the race at all times to open his medal table in a Games where he entered five events between the track and the road.
So he completed a day in which he started as one of the main medal options of the Spanish team and in which he showed his condition from the start. In the morning he was third with two seconds ahead of Senska and in the afternoon he confirmed his status as the favourite.
Ten took off from the start, where he opened up a gap with respect to Senska after taking advantage of his greater power output. Since then that advantage has not diminished, which he was able to control perfectly to add his second medal at a Games in track cycling. This is the first individual, after the bronze in team speed achieved in Tokyo 2021, so the Valencian removed a small thorn in his side.
