The women’s team has won silver and men’s bronze after two very solid performances
The Spanish marathon teams have added the first medals of the European Championship in Munich. The women’s team took a brilliant silver medal, while the men’s team took bronze after two very solid performances, led by Marta Galimany (11th) and Ayad Lamdassem (6th). Aleksandra Lisowska and Richard Ringer were the individual champions after two exciting finals, with a handful of athletes battling for the medals in each event.
The first final of the European Championship has been decided with the second collective place of the team formed by Galimany, Irene Pelayo, Elena Loyo and Laura Méndez. The Catalan, the Spaniard with the best record of the participants, has been in the leading group in the first half of the marathon, while Loyo from Alava has adopted a more conservative tactic and stayed in a second group.
In the final stretch, Galimany has fought to get closer to the top ten, while Poland’s Lisowska has solved it for the dance of positions with an attack two kilometers from the end that led her to gold. But from behind the Croat Matea Parlov has come back to take the silver, while the Dutch Brinkman has achieved a very difficult bronze.
In the men’s race, Landassem, Dani Mateo, Yago Rojo and Jorge Blanco are embedded from the start in a leading group that lost 30 units on the way to kilometer. Landassem, the best of the competitors with that Spanish record of 2.06 .25 , moved the race at minute 36 with an attack to which Terefi, Petros, Ayale and Navarro responded, but shortly after the German Ringer came back and reached the avant guard group.
Ringer and started firing to leave Landassem with no options, who threw in the towel in 41st and had to settle for sixth. Ahead, Teferi has attacked along with Parlov in search of victory, but the German has sunk and a Ringer has surfaced on the other side that has claimed his athlete’s top speed of 10,000 to overtake the Israeli a hundred meters from the finish.
For the rest of the first day of the morning, Carlos Tobalina is eliminated in the weight standings, while Eusebio Cáceres and Héctor Santos have won the pass to the long final, as well as Belén Toimil in the shot put.
