by Jeff Salvage & Gary Westerfield


 

13/09/2020   Madrid (ESP): Antia Chamosa and Alvaro Martin are the new Spanish Champions






 

 

 

Today and tomorrow the Absolute Spanish Championships are underway in Spain, now in their 100th edition.
 
Due to COVID-19, the athletics specialties have been divided into four stages to ensure greater safety:
- the throws will take place in Moratalz
- the jumps will take place in Alcobendas
- the speed and hurdles will take place in Getafe
- the Vallehermoso stadium in Madrid hosts pole vaulting, multiple events, middle distance, long distance and walking.
 
The walking races are scheduled:
- women's race: today Saturday 12 September 2020 at 20:30
- men's race: tomorrow 12 September at 20:00
 
The record of Spain, which is also the record of the Championships, belongs to Raquel Gonzalez Campos (absent this year) who set it on 23.7.2016 in Gijon in the historic edition that still sees three of the best all-time times on the distance we propose below
 

 

The best accreditation mark is that of Ainhoa Pinedo with a personal best of 45:44.53 also obtained in the memorable edition of Gijon, while this season she boasts only a 50:21.50 obtained in Torremolinos (ESP) on 29.8.2020.
 
 
 
10.000m track walk women
 
Quite slow start with the compact group up to 2.000m.
First 1.000m in 4:54.70 and seconds 1.000m in 9:43.48 (4:48:38) with the group led by Marina Sillero.
Marina Sillero force between 2.000m and 3.000m. Only Ainhoa ​​Pinedo and Antia Chamosa resist and pass in order.
- 3.000m in 14:30.63 (4:57.15)
- 4.000m in 19:21.47 (4:50.84)
- 5.000m in 24:12.42 (4:50:95)
After half race Ainhoa ​​Pinedo force the pace and only Antia Chamosa can resist, while Marina Sillero irremediably loses ground. For her, the race for gold is over.
 
At 6.000m there are two passing in 29:03.36 (4:50.94) with Antia Chamosa in the lead
Just before 7.000m Ainoha Pinedo has a drop and loses about ten meters which then tries to recover. She still does not know that the turning point of the race has been marked.
 
At 7.000m Antia Chamosa passes in 33:59.92 (4:55.93) with an advantage of about 10m.
At 8.000m Antia Chamosa passes in 38:50.00 (4:50.08) with a roughly 25m lead over Ainhoa ​​Pinedo. The game for gold can be considered closed.
At 9.000m. Antia Chamosa passes in 43:45.16 (4:55.16) has a lead of about 60m over Ainhoa ​​Pinedo.
 
With the last 1.000m covered in 4:50.04 Antia Chamosa (ESP) wins her first absolute championship of Spain in 48.35.20
Second place to Ainhoa ​​Pinedo in 48:49.43
