Spain best closed World Athletics Championships in Budapest Silver medal from Muhammed Katir in 5,000 meters Contributing to third place on the medal table, thanks to the four golds in the march (two from Álvaro Martín and the other two from María Pérez).
The man of Muleño experienced both aspects of the sport in a week, from the discomfort of the second day’s unexpected elimination in the 1,500-man semi-final to the near-to-gold exhilaration of the final day in silver. Jakob Ingebrigtsen had not crossed him at the same finish line.
From walking in front of the Spanish media, to chatting for more than 10 minutes and apologizing up to twice for his behavior in the past days. “But if sometimes it’s hard for me to even talk to my family, imagine talking to strangers. I am very. I know it may seem selfish sometimes, but I like to go to the corner and cry alone and ask myself what happened to me,” she explained with complete candor.
He’s partially right. Katir lived a monastic life for almost four months in the Sierra Nevada. Except for Thierry Ndikumwenayo, an athlete of Burundi origin who trains at heights and doesn’t interact much with other athletes, perhaps who participated in the European National Team Cup as a Spaniard and was one place behind in the final in Budapest.
That’s why it was so hard for him to accept what happened in ‘milqui’. “It’s hard to absorb getting the second grade of the year and staying out of the finals.. What would be less than being in the final with the level I have?” He explained that while he gained confidence in the face of the kindness of the questions, he was trying to sell his shyness at the same time.
The look and resemblance of what happened as Yulimar Rojas finished eighth with one jump left and took the wise advice and encouragement of legendary coach Iván Pedroso that was the key to achieving his 15.08 and painful new gold medal. Katir also leaned on a very important person around her..
In addition to her coach Gabi Lorente, the square of the 5,000-meter world second’s circle closes it his manager, Miguel Ángel Mostaza, is one of the most important names on the planet. He was responsible for managing the career of one of the biggest stars of Spanish athletics like Fermín Cacho.
“I know Miguel knows how to give very motivational speeches and that’s why I told him to come with me to the warm-up area. He gave me a lot of confidence there, he evaluated me throughout the season, with Florence, Roma. He said he trusted me, made me believe I was, and that I could fight for medals. and I’m one of the fastest of the 5000. It has already helped me a lot,” stressed one of the Alcazarquivir.
Now Mohamed Katir plans to race at the Weltklasse in Zurich next ThursdayOne of the most emblematic meetings of the Diamond League taking place in the new Letzigrun… although the old stadium has more magic. He also wants to attack the Spanish record of 1,500 meters (3:28.76), but quickly turns to reality. She candidly concludes, “I would love to, but my legs are already tired. I don’t know if I can really do that.”
More likes or dislikes, more or less chatty, and more or less human talent, Katir’s silver medal is the award given to the ’employee’ in athletics. Only Jakob Ingebrigtsen could beat him, he was the one who refused to greet him when the Spaniard went to congratulate him. Norwegian is the best but only on the track. Three and a half minutes after the start of ‘Milqui’ or 13 minutes after the shot at 5,000 is the worst.
