BarcelonaIt was a few minutes past nine in the morning this Friday when Beatriz Flamini returned to the outside world. It was 510 days ago that this elite athlete was isolated in a cave in Motril (Granada), 70 meters deep. He entered it on November 20, 2021, aged 48, and left it at 50. Unaware of what has happened in the world in the last year and a half, he appeared with sunglasses on to protect his view and a wide smile. And it is that he has not only completed a personal challenge, which he has defined as “excellent and insurmountable”, but his experience has served for a scientific experiment and, in addition, he has broken a world record.
