Sarah Gallego: "The feeling that I am with the best gives me satisfaction"

Barcelona Sarah Gallegowho said goodbye to Eugene World Cup semi-finals of 400 meter hurdlessaid that the balance of his involvement was “very positive” and that “compete with the best and feel with them” It’s something that makes him happy.

Making his debut at the world athletics championships, he graced the track at Hayward Field in Eugene with a time of 54.49, which gave him fifth place in his series, not enough to qualify for the times.

Gallego, 21, produced a mark of 54.49 that gave him fifth place in his series, not enough to qualify for the times. He is thirteenth in the ranking of participants and his goal in Eugene is to endorse his new status by competing with the best in his first World Championship.

“The balance is very positive. We went to the semifinals, which was something I had in mind and wanted to achieve. I know it’s very difficult to get to the final, very complicated, because I’m also one of the worst semifinalists. At first I saw that the big classification was passed at 54.70, a score worse than I did, which makes me think that I have an option in other years. I will work hard to achieve the impossible”, said Gallego, at the end of his trial.

“I stay happy. This year I have taken a significant step up in level and am competing with the best and the feeling that I am with them is something that gives me satisfaction. I haven’t done my best race yet, there are small details to polish, but I’m not too used to racing with people who are better than me,” he said.

“Next year I have to go out because I need more experience. Facing Munich (August European Championship) I will compete with high-level people, this is our main goal and we will try to get to the final and we will fight for it,” he concluded.
