Alvaro Martin, double champion d'Europe est devenu champion du monde du 20 km marche ce matin à Budapest. Le Français Gabriel Bordier a pris la 10e place en améliorant largement son record personnel.

"This is the first gold medal for the Spanish team at the world championships. We have a great team with Diego (Garcia Carrera), Alberto (Amezcua), and Maria Perez, of course. I was fourth at the last Olympic Games, I missed the bronze which motivated me to work hard.

In Tokyo, I felt when I was in the fourth position that I could win a medal. Unfortunately, it did not happen and that is why this gold medal is next step towards the next Olympic Games.

I had an amazing race today, I did not expect to finish this fast, it is amazing. I cannot express all my feelings right now, it feels like a dream. I have one of the best coach in the world, Jose, who is one of the best race walkers in the history.

I watched previous championships where Miguel Angel Lopez won and I cried a lot, I was really happy for him. I did the same now. I am really happy and I do not have words to express it. Huge thanks goes to my coach and my girlfriend, this is the medal for the team.

Actually, my whole family came to support me. The next goal is the gold at the Olympic Games but the only thing I want to do now is to cry out of happiness. I am going to enjoy this moment." a indiqué le vainqueur.
