Bruno Hortelano announced on Tuesday his resignation to the World Athletics Championships in Qatar, which will begin on the 27th, due to an injury to the Achilles tendon from which he has tried to recover "until the last moment". "I communicate that I will not participate with the national team in the World Athletics Championships in Doha. We have tried until the last moment, but together with the medical services of the Federation we have decided that it is preferable not to risk the improvement of the injury in the Achilles tendon, "Hortelano announced through Twitter.
"I am very sorry that it is so and from now on I will work to get to Tokyo 2020 in the best conditions," added the sprinter, who wanted to thank the support received. "Thank you all for your messages of support, encouragement and friendship these days, they are very helpful," he added.
Hortelano is the Spanish record holder in the distances of 100, 200 and 400 meters. His greatest international success was the gold medal he won three years ago in the 200-meter test at the Amsterdam European Championships, but his progression was halted by the traffic accident he suffered after participating in the Rio Olympic Games de Janeiro
