Sebastián Martos, from Jaén, fourteenth in the final of 3,000 obstacles at the World Championships in Eugene, said he was not entirely satisfied with his performance because he could “do better” and his next goal , the European Championships in Munich, he will “give up and fight for everything”.
In a slow final, Martos, a five -time Spanish champion, started the race with courage and led the race for the first kilometer. With five laps remaining, Ethiopian Lamecha Girma and Kenyan Conseslus Kipruto increased the intensity of the race, Martos remained, but after a change of pace he fell off the hook and finished fourth with 8: 36.66.
“I was very good in the beginning, I was able to manage the race until the first 1500 without making a lot of changes, but in the second I didn’t manage it and I wasn’t very happy. They were all very nervous, with a lot of admissions. and going and jumping against the foot, for no reason, lost my concentration, along with a blow to an ankle ”, said Martos, at the end of the exam.
“I’m not entirely happy. I appreciate being in the final because it’s been many years’ work but I think I can do better. Martos remains to be in a final and show what I can be worth,” said the Jaen native, that in less than a month will face another important challenge, the European Championships in Munich.
“To make it up to me. The goal is to be in the two finals. I’m happy with Eugene’s final but not with the position. In European we will fight and why not fight for everything”, he concluded. EFE
