- Hortelano. Renounces the Spanish championship
- Vallehermoso.Deception on the return
Bruno Hortelano is not competing in the Spanish Athletics Championships that conclude this Sunday. It was expected, after his disappointing reappearance in the re-release of the Vallehermoso stadium.
His participation in the World Cup in Doha begins, which begins on the 27th, and in which he always thought of being part of a 4x400 relay that has also weakened with the long injury of Lucas Búa and the recurring discomfort of Oscar Husillos (45.66 in indoor track, but only 46.17 outdoors). The 400 meters, inmates of these setbacks and a general decay, present a ranking devoid of relevant brands. No one has dropped from 46 seconds. Nor has it approached that border. We will see what happens in the final of the Spanish Championship.
Hortelano could, on day 6, run in Andújar to try again and get hooked on the last chance to get the World Cup minimum (45.26). If he succeeded, he would break that kind of dark spell that fell on him in September 2016 and almost cost him his life. It is true that, in his reappearance, almost two years later, he broke, in June 2018, the national record of 400 meters (44.69). And, in July, the one of 200 (20.04). But the double success abruptly lacked continuity.
In August, Bruno, who defended the title, was fourth in the 200 of the Berlin European. He kept, however, the guy. His mark (20.05) was only one hundredth worse than that shared by silver and bronze: 20.04. The same record as his national record a month earlier. Then, in the company of Óscar Husillos, Lucas Búa and Samuel García , he obtained the bronze in the 4x400 relays. Within the undeniable general merit, his post, in which he went from a prominent first place to a disappointing third, was a kind of sudden return to the uncertain gloom, in which, a year later, he remains.
His recalcitrant injury to the Achilles tendon that he (he) has in vilo would be only a lazy gaje of the trade if it were not because it rains on wet. The body and mind accuse the weight of lost time which, in the case of an athlete, is more unrecoverable than in any other activity. The profession of athlete is the shortest of all. Those 21 empty months because of the traffic accident in the powerful, unrepeatable athletic equator of 25 years are the Gordian knot of Bruno's trajectory, which next day 18 is already 28. In his labyrinth.
