María Vicente, on the way to gold after the first day of the heptatló
The Castellón started with a jump of 16.57, fell back to 16.00 in the second turn and finished with his best record, 16.80, which, although 17.00 was required to enter automatically, opened the doors of the end of next Thursday.
"It has been a difficult competition, as are always the qualifications. I started more or less well, with a jump of 16.57, and then I had a jump with a worse feeling and I sank on a support when jumping. In the third I had to overcome my nerves, since I knew I was risking it. That third jump is not technically perfect, but I am very proud"he pointed.
Torrijos, who was eliminated last year at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games with a mark of 16.11, revealed that he has been removed "heavy shoulder weight" when advancing to the final.
"Both in my first World Cup, two years ago in Beijing, and in Rio, in 2016, I was very far from going to the final. Today I have taken an important step forward for myself and for my career and I have lifted a great weight. I am very happy to be able to say that I am a finalist in a World Cup"he explained.
"On Thursday we have to take the next step, which is to be a little higher. I’d like to be in the top eight. The medals? They are very difficult, but I am in the top 12 and I have a choice, even if it is minimal. It’s a bit difficult, but it doesn’t mean that I’m going to fight for it. I will fight to get it. I don’t give up on anything but I know it’s complicated", he concluded.
At just 18 years old, the Catalan María Vicente has written one more page in her golden record this Friday by conquering gold in heptathlon in the European U-20 that is being played in Boräs (Sweden).

The triumph of the best Spanish athlete in the category came after two extraordinary personal marks in the javelin (44.19 when she had never exceeded 40 meters) and 2: 16.23 to finish second in the 800 when her previous best time was above 2:22.
María Vicente has also shattered the absolute Spanish record held by Carmen Ramos with 5,905 points and has become the first Spanish woman to overcome the mythical barrier of 6,000 points.
Despite having a worse mark in the two laps of the track than its two rivals, the one from L’Hospitalet has had a very intelligent race and has had the strength to change on the straight and finish achieving the title with 6,115 points, ahead of the Irish Kate O’Connor (6,093) and the Swiss Annik Kälin (6,069).
And that did not start too well on Thursday in 110 meters hurdles (13.68) and in weight (11.96), although Vicente did perform well in height riding those tests with 1.72 and completed the day with an excellent 200 (23.76).
What happened on Friday was to take off his hat. With 6.25, the Nike athlete was second in length to finish destroying her personal records in javelin (44.19) and in the two laps of the track (2: 16.23).
It is the fourth gold medal for Spain in the history of the European Under-20s after those of Mari Cruz Díaz and Reyes Sobrino in a 5-kilometer march in 1985 (they were tied) and Marta Domínguez in 1,500 in 1993.
María Vicente thus adds her third great success in heptathlon after proclaiming herself the U-18 world champion in 2017 in Nairobi, the European U-18 champion last year and now this U-20 continental title in Swedish lands.

In addition, he broke the world record for the sub’18 pentathlon. And next year it will have the U-20 World Cup, which neither O’Connor nor Kälin will be able to attend due to age, second and third yesterday. It would be the best way to end two stratospheric years.
The McLaren Report was a missile on the waterline of Russian sport. Namely: more than 1,000 athletes involved – whose name and surname have not been made public, because that is not the work of the Canadian jurist – and, what is worse, the confirmation that all this monumental mess was orchestrated with the collusion of the state itself.

That said, it should also be noted that the report leaves the International Olympic Committee (IOC) with shame in the air, the World Anti-Doping Agency very touched in its functions, because it has shown its ineffectiveness in the fight to eradicate what it was born for. -fighting the use of prohibited substances- and, in general, the entire anti-doping system.
Thomas Bach and 1xbet kenya promotions all his entourage of bishops who are part of the Olympic Movement turned a blind eye to Russia, which did participate in the Rio Games, with the exception of the entire athletics team whose international federation (IAAF), chaired by the media Sebastian Coe He did take the bull by the horns and a few other athletes, especially weightlifters …
Thomas Bach, in that permanent forward flight in which the Olympic Vatican lives installed, said this Sunday that now it is "go beyond the McLaren report" to identify all the athletes involved and prevent, for example, drug users from participating in this season’s winter sports World Cups. Good morning …
"All the information is on the table. We already know what is happening -they had to come from abroad to tell them- Now we must apply reforms so that this does not happen again", Bach said at a press conference in Madrid, where he attended the congress of the International Triathlon Union (ITU), Efe reported.
The German leader stressed that the most serious part is the one that shows that a system was organized to cover up the positives. "The manipulation", he stressed. "We have to go beyond the report"he said, because Professor McLaren "specifies that it is not part of its mandate to establish individual violations" of anti-doping laws.
Words, just words …
"Even before the Rio Games we showed that we took the report very seriously. Now our first step has been to order the reanalysis of all the samples of the Russian athletes from London 2012 and Sochi 2014. We hope to obtain from the World Anti-Tiaping Agency (WADA) the names of those involved (according to McLaren). So far only the WADA and international federations know them and we wait for those names to draw conclusions"explained the German leader.
The only positive in light of the report, Bach mentioned, is that "it is clear that the Russian Olympic Committee is not involved, nor is any federation other than the IAAF", in systematic doping and manipulation of results. "This is very important"he added.
"We will have to listen to the Russian side and, then, from the Executive Commission of the CIO we will decide all the sanctions that we can and the federations will have to take the others. They have to take that responsibility because World Cup events are going to be held in which there may be Russian athletes", he remembered.
Thomas Bach said that "It’s too soon" to find out if the Russian delegation will be excluded from the 2018 Winter Games in PyeongChang (Korea). "McLaren report is being evaluated", said.
Russian sport is rotten, according to the McLaren Report
The McLaren report opens a range of doubts
The CIO can’t get away with it so easily. Not the AMA; nor the international federations … The whole system has failed. Much of Russian sport is corrupt and the vigilant forces designed to ensure that everything works within a certain order – there will always be doping – have not been up to the task. Although it is already known that the weakest link in the chain will pay the price, that is, athletes. Does it sound like …?

In response to comments from the athlete, current 400m world champion, the AIU explains that "the investigation into the three omissions in 2019 was ongoing during the Doha World Cups", hence it could compete because "at that time it was not provisionally suspended".
"Once the investigation is completed", clarifies the AIU, "and after a fourth offense in January 2020, a communication of the charges was issued and Naser was subject to an immediate provisional suspension".
