The Spanish delegation, still without a prize, awaits the appearance of its best assets, while Ingebrigtsen exhibits itself in the 1,500m final.
Any competition whose results are measured in gold, silver and bronze medals aspires to surpass those achieved in the previous edition. If Spain got five in Torun 2021, he should get at least six in Istanbul 2023. Six to start. Then you will see the value. You have to hurry up and wait, mainly Adel Mechaala Quique Llopisa Adrin Bena Jorge Ureaa Scar Spindles (now we will go with him).
There was no prize on this second day. Two left. In the 1,500s he did not go around with little girls Jakob Ingebrigtsen. He grabbed the head from the first meter, imposed a brutal rhythm and left successive victims behind him in various states of agonizing impotence. Jess Gmezafter a small hook at the beginning of the test that did not influence the result, he stuck as best he could and until he could to a trio formed by the cruel Norwegian, the British Neil Gourney and the french Azzedine Habz.
The three have always beaten him, so Gómez, fourth with 3:38.11, gave in, now without a fight, between resigned and satisfied, to logic. Ingebrigtsen (3:33.95) was unfazed by a timid final acceleration from Gourney (3:34.28), while Habz, a little further on (3:35.39), was happy.
In about 3,000 dominated by the two Germans, Hanna Klein (8:35.87) surprisingly prevailed over Konstanze Klosterhalfen. They lacked options Martha Prez (seventh with 8:49.19) and martha garca (tenth at 8:54.92).
recovery capacity
Husillos continues to aspire to the podium. He got into today’s final of the 400. Third in the semifinal won by Karsten Warholm, made 45.86. It goes down regularly from 46 seconds. But the others too. Especially Warholm, who did 45.75 in the morning heats and 45.43 in the afternoon semifinals. Oscar, defending champion, is fine. But it should be a little better to grab metal. The recovery capacity of both will be important, because they will have run a little less than full three times in 24 hours. This reflection does not pray with Warholm.
The day was born breech for those 400. Iaki Caal he was injured after winning (46.25) in his qualifying heat. In his effort to finish first to earn a good fairway in the semifinals, a huge factor on the banked indoor track, he threw himself against the finish line. The blow was inevitable. In order not to fall on his face, he twisted his body in a gesture of protection. He hit his shoulder and bruised his clavicle. Subluxation. Farewell to arms. Manuel Guijarro came out with his right thigh bandaged. It was painful for him to run. He came last with a mark close to a minute (49.77).
Caal and Guijarro’s injuries were two individual dramas and, in addition, a collective one. The medal options of the 4×400 relay, one of the main assets of the Spanish expedition, which loses two bastions, are reduced to almost impossibility.
moments of splendor
Not all were sorrows. Esther Guerrero y gueda marqus will compete in the final of the 1,500, in which Laura Muir seems intractable.

Nataliya Dobrynska.
