Mohamed Katir presented, as expected, his candidacy for medals at 5,000 meters.
He won (13: 30.10) without hurry the semifinal of him, controlling the situation at all times and giving printing his own and strangers, friends and adversaries, that he can aspire to anything.
He is in great shape and believes in himself with a faith held by the brands of him and how to perform them.
No other favorite was out of Friday, including the world silver, Joshua Chepttegei.
In the 1,500 the Spaniards were welcomed to the weight of tradition.
Our three representatives, each in a series, Ignacio Fontes, Adel Mechaal and Jesús Gómez went to the semifinals of the day 5. The first with difficulties and by times (3: 36.95).
Mechaal (3: 36.74), by posts.
In turn, Gómez lived a succession of resolved dramas, with justice, in favor of him.
At the beginning of the last lap, two participants went to the ground.
Gómez dodged Lewandowski and must have been excessively struggling to rewind.
Then, the Qatari Hassan ran the same luck than the unfortunate precursors of him;
and Gómez, unbalanced and, probably, tulth of fighting against the destination, ended in some, under normal circumstances, dishonorable 3: 47.27.
But, recognized the misadventures of him by the jury, he was refusciated.
Asier Martínez produced a magnificent impression on the first round of some 110 orphan fences, alas, from Orlando Ortega.
He won his series with 13.32.
That at the age of 21 debuted in Olympic Games and decorate in this way it produces something very similar to enthusiasm.
The Guipuzcoan is a joy for the amateur.
He has a plant and lip.
He runs with ease and expressed property.
Also, at 400, he went from Ronda Aauri Lorena Bokesa with 51.89, his best brand of the season.
Pablo Torrijos, on the other hand, did not even stay at the doors to get into the end of the triple jump.
They were asked 17.05 and stuck in 15.87.
If there is no explanation of little order less than incapacitating, that record is discouraging.
