Enrique Lopes, from billergaard, on the Costa de la fiesta in Valencia, Although it was before his birth in 2000, he remained at the gates of the medal in 110 hurdles. Eleven hundredths separated him from the American Daniel Roberts and the Jamaican Rashid broadbill, who, as expected, finished with his best mark this season (13.09). Roberts was silver by three thousand. If the 23-year-old could have been on his marks at the Stade de France, a fast track, where Sidney McLaughlin had just minutes before scored 400 obstacles in the world, he would have arrived with them.
I found another great sprint, coached by Tony Puig, Also a coach of the Spanish relays. Valenciennes, European silver in Rome, took the baton of Orlando Ortega, silver in 2016, and Asier Martinez, Tokyo 2020, as the third Spaniard in a row in an Olympic final at 110, the distance she discovered in the past with Javier Moracho and Carlos Sala at 80.
Lopes, trunk 1.87, takes time to become vertical due to its height, But in the final reaction well, in the year 144 millesimus, the sensitivity that allowed him to face the first steps. He entered the first fence very well, but in the second passage of 10 obstacles looked past. Down 2nd Street he had a good signal on his right at Roberts, who was shooting a fight for Holloway. To his left was the slave, the Olympic Campen, who was rubbing his shoulders.
“Don’t run as fast as you want. We stayed away from medals. The sensations were very bad at first and I had a little touch. It didn’t turn out the way I liked,” he later admitted.
From the third fence, the Spanish are already at cruising speed Start coming back. It was not the cleanest race for her, although she hardly cleans fences. In an Olympic final of such a high level, where the field falls 13 seconds, to be on the podium required the man who fascinated in Rome when he was the European runner-up. He did not reach this level, but his presentation to the world high society was great. The fourth place that guarantees his future , as in the case of the Indoor World Cup in Glasgow, is another, much smaller war than Thursday’s. “In the last fences I could desire to cut,” he explained. “I knew I had to run at my best. The warm-up was undoubtedly the best, but I don’t have to be unfair, we stayed in one place and I’m happy.”
Before that, Holloway would have won the gold medal because it was the one he lost and that profile of the Champions, insatiable, don’t let two chances slip away. He left in Tokyo 2020, without an audience, because the Jamaican slave got the race of his life-although he was also beaten a year ago in Xiamen diamond-but having been the world champion and eleven races undefeated this season, this time he will not fail. He is an athlete built for this test. “He is not tall, but his high hip is crucial for him to go well over the fence,” believes Acer Martinez, absent in the final.
The American investigated and was confirmed as an obstacle at dcada In the Olympic final the fastest since Aries Merritt 12.92. Broadbill, who arrived in Paris with a mark of 13.18, occupies the position corresponding to Lopes.
