The Spanish athlete
María Vicente
, a medal candidate at the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Glasgow in the
pentathlon event
, suffered a painful
injury to the heel
of her left leg this Friday.
It was during the second test of the competition, the
high jump
, and he had to leave the Emirates Arena track on a stretcher.
At the moment when he was going to jump, we saw how Vicente took a run and his leg gave out.
At that moment, he put his hand on his ankle and, through tears, began to repeat: "Please, no; please, no...".
María Vicente had arrived in Glasgow with the
best time of the twelve registered
and was the
main favorite for gold
, as she demonstrated this morning in the first test of the competition, the 60 hurdles, which she won with authority.
Furthermore, we are in an Olympic year since the games will be held this summer in the city of Paris.
The athlete was regaining good shape after two years of uncertainty due to a quadriceps injury that kept her off the slopes for months.
