With 69 days to go until the Olympic Games, Ecuadorian race walker Daniel Pintado is in top form, inviting us to dream of a possible medal in the French capital.
With a time of 1h17:52, Pintado finished in fourth place in the International Cantonese Race Walking Grand Prix (La Coruña) just 7 seconds behind the winner, Kazuki YamanishiThe Ecuadorian fought until the end for victory, being overtaken by the first three in the final meters of this race.
Pintado was the best Ecuadorian in this event, which included six representatives from our country. Unfortunately, in the women’s competition, race walker Johana Ordóñez was just a few seconds short of the minimum mark for the Olympic Games.
Daniel Pintado is going through a great sporting moment, as last week he was crowned champion of the Rio Maior International Grand Prix in Portugal.
Daniel Pintado and Glenda Morejón are the main medal contenders in the Olympic race walking trials in Paris.
Great Daniel Pintado!!
