The athlete from Mula, who was about to win again in the 5,000 meters category a day after his exhibition, signs an excellent Spanish championship after hanging two metals
Mohamed Katir will not return to his city, Mula, only with the gold medal won this Saturday in the test of the 5,000 meters of the Spanish championship. The athlete from Muleño wanted more this Sunday and won silver in the 1,500 meters National competition that takes place in Nerja (Málaga). “I hope my family and my neighbors enjoy the final,” Katir said on Saturday. So it was.
Like Mariano García in the 800m, Mo Katir was very close to winning the 1,500, so much so that Mario García overtook him in the final meters to leave the athlete from the Murcia region without the gold medal. After a somewhat hesitant start, Mula’s man managed to secure a spot on the outside of the track to reach the top positions as quickly as possible. Katir pulled the group from the last kilometer. Behind it, Mario García and Adel Mechaal tried to keep up with him, but the Muleño man seemed to have enough legs to accelerate his arrival at the finish.
It looked like the afternoon would end with a new gold metal hanging from Katir’s neck, but again, the last few meters and an extraordinary Mario García Romo caused the medal to change material and go silver. De Muleño finished on the second step of the podium in Nerja, with a time of 3:35.85, followed by Ignacio Fontes, who finished third.
