The Murcian finished third and Mario García Romo fourth in an unforgettable race won by Briton Jake Wightman ahead of Jakob Ingebrigtsen
Second medal for the Spanish delegation at the World Athletics Championships in Oregon. And he did it in one of the fetish events in Spain: the 1,500, one of the events that has brought national athletics the most success. Mohamed Katir has secured a brilliant bronze medal in a frantic final where he stopped the clock in 3’29”90, with Mario García as luxury lieutenant, fourth with 3’30”20 (third Spanish of all time), in his first World Cup final.
The victory went to Jake Wightman, who with a time of 3’29”23 became the first European to win the 1500 in a World Championship since his compatriot Steve Cram did in 1983. Jakob Ingebrigtsen came close to winning (3’29 47) but was unable to repeat the gold he won at the Tokyo Olympics last year.
With the bronze of Katir, Spain consolidates itself as the European country with the most medals in this discipline. Mohamed’s metal follows in the footsteps of José Luis González, silver in 1987, Fermín Cacho, silver in 1993 and 1997 and Reyes Estévez, bronze in 1997 and 1999.
