Euskaraz irakurri: Asier Martinez laugarren sailkatu da Europako Txapelketako 110 metroko hesidun proban
Zizur Mayor’s athlete Asier Martínez This Saturday night he obtained the fourth place in 110 meters hurdles at the 2024 European Athletics Championships, which is being disputed in Rome. Martínez, who was defending the continental title achieved in 2022, has remained at the gates of the bronze medal, but he was overtaken in the last few meters by the Swiss Jason Joseph. The Italian Lorenzo Simonelli has won goldwith a mark of 13.05, and the Spanish Quique Llopis, the silver.
Martínez reached the final with a very good feeling, after winning, with a mark of 13.29, the best he has achieved so far this year, his semi-final, which was the first that has taken place. In the final, however, he encountered two difficulties: first, the yellow card he received, due to a threat of no start, which conditioned his career; and, already in the final stretch of the test, the Navarrese slightly touched the last fence, which prevented him from winning a bronze medal that seemed to be his.
Asier Martínez finished the final with 13.45. Llopis, second, did 13.16, and Joseph, third placed, 13.43.
