María Pérezthe best Spanish athlete of all time, is also 20 kilometers champion in the World Cups in Tokyo. Two years after the double in Budapest, the double in the Japanese capital. If the 35 kilometers was an exhibition, in the short march the recital was not far behind. The last five kilometers made them alone and with a sense of overwhelming authority. Gold is his seventh medal in a great international championship. There are four World Cup golds, two Olympic medals, gold and silver in Paris, and a European champion title.
The headboard was defined very soon. Among the chosen ones were all those who had to be mediated. The only significant absence was that of Antonella Palmisano, the grenadine training partner. Maria made a first selection surpassed the fifth kilometer. The second screen came the race mediated. Between the Spanish and Peruvian Kimberly García left the group reduced to half a dozen athletes with a rhythm between 4: 10-4: 20 per kilometer. Alegna González, the Mexican, was the name that Andaluza had given as the main threat. And between them they were in charge of bursting the race, but Maria wanted more. And in the absence of just over four kilometers the final attack arrived. The change of rhythm was scandalous. In less than a kilometer, he won the Mexican in five seconds. He folded the difference immediately and that allowed her to taste her second gold in Tokyo. He reached the goal with 1: 25.54 and Antonella Palmisano was in charge of giving it the Spanish flag.
Thus we have lived the gold of María Pérez in the 20 km female march of the Tokyo 2025 Athletics
