However, the real stars were Tessy Ebosele, Maria Vicente, Fatima Diame and Irati Mitxelena In a competition, he brought together some of the best brands of Spanish athletes, although in some cases will not be recognized when the favorable wind exceeds 2 m/s (the maximum in favor that the protocol allows). However, the distances will have to be recalculated or canceled due to an “involuntary” error, according to the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation.

The organizers of the Spanish Outdoor Athletics Championships held in the Valencian town of Torrent contributed to the great expectation for the level of the jumpers. Aware of the foreseeable force of the wind in the Valencian town of Torrent they decided to change the direction of the pit for the contests.

In any case, it was used for competition and set the gold frontier far away.

From that moment on, the feats of the best Spanish long jumpers followed one another. The demand reached the point that Irati Mitxelenadefending champion, signed her personal record (6.70 meters) and a top-10 jump in the history of the Spanish but had to settle for it fourth place in Torrent.

For her part, María Vicente went home very happy. If in the first attempts he did not find his hole, with the third he landed at 6.21 meters and with the fifth he unexpectedly reached 7 meters, although none were fixed in his record due to having too much tailwind.

Thanks to the final, the Catalan athlete hopes that with the points earned with runner-up can move closer to a place in the world rankings and join Ebosele and Diame, who will be in Budapest thanks to the minimum marks required (6.85 meters). María Vicente enters into the calculations of the Spanish athletes who could be in the World Cups in Budapest, but she will have to wait for the official lists on July 31.

Javier Bragado is an expert in nutrition and other health issues. He tries to keep up with new research to disseminate the latest discoveries and trends on this website. Plus, he’s under pressure from a family of dietitian-nutritionists and crossfitters, so he’d better be precise with what he writes about food and fitness.

On a professional level, when podcasts did not exist, Javier Bragado worked on several radio stations (Onda Cero, Cadena Ser), although now his output is focused on writing on the web. In fact, it is quite common to find him as the author of texts (sometimes extra-long) on ​​sports news after two decades of experience in the EFE news agency and the Colpisa news agency. He pays special attention to the less conventional profiles in sports such as cycling, tennis, soccer and athletics of any kind.

Graduated from the Complutense University, he completes his profile as a journalist with his later career in Geography and History at the UNED, which is why it is common to see him write about great and small characters of humanity, research and studies on the past.

He draws on his scholarly knowledge and respect for professional historians and their sources. Which is not at odds with his eclectic fondness for reading Eastern and Western books and comics.

On the other hand, Javier Bragado is also a lover of experiencing sports firsthand and has practiced a couple of martial arts and combat sports in his youth, although with no experience in competition.

If you have come across a report signed by him about John Wick, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Michele Yeoh and the action film community, know that he is among those who enjoy those choreographies of distributing candy. However, now he has taken to swimming, because he is no longer young and prefers not to get hit on the head while he takes care of his cardio.

If you see an error in one of his texts, you can let him know through one of his social networks because he is always willing to thank you for these notices (and correct when necessary). Just in case, check that the second last name is “Herrero” so as not to confuse him with the excellent photographer from the world of music Javier Bragado. And if you have a problem that you need to solve in other ways, contact Team A, they are the experts in that field.
