This is a fun story, watching it was interesting, as well as on the 2nd day. Thank you Stuart Weir to write this one. Missing you in Tokyo, my friend.
An unexpected marathon medal.
The results of the women’s marathon were as follows.
1 Peres Jepchirchir (Kenya) 2:24:43
2 Tigst Assefs (Ethiopia) 2:24:45
Julia Paternain (Uruguay) 2:25:23
Two East Africans, okay. But in Uruguay. Everybody turns to discover who he is. His own self-description is: “I live in the states but I grew up in England. My emphasis is a little confused. My whole family is from Uruguay. It was Uruguay’s first medal at world champions.
I read on Twitter:
- He has three passports and green cards.
- He was born in Mexico.
- His whole family is from Uruguay, where most of them live, except for his mother and father.
- He moved to England when he was 2 years old.
- He fled to HCA in Pen’s state before moving to Arkansas during Pandranas. He competed for three years for carbohydrates.
He said after the race. “My family sent me messages in Uruguay, making me happy for me. At the end of that race, when it warmed up, I was thinking about Uruguay and running each of those miles of Uruguay. “
In order to win a global medal in the second marathon, he left almost a speech. “I can’t believe. Difficult but wonderful experience. And I am very grateful to all those who helped me get here.
“Everyone I train knows I love running alone. And that’s exactly what happened. So i Think That Was The Perfect Strategy. So I Think He Really Planned That Great, And I Just Had to Go Out there and execute, and yeah “.
Because of the path to run his race, he should have said that he had won a medal. He didn’t know how many people were in front of him.
He received support from Elish McColgan, which tweeted Tweet.
Taking into account that he lived in England, people were social media connections with various UK events such as:
He competed in English schools
He ran for the U23 European Championships for UK
For the first time, who competed to the South Road releases of the Crystal Chamber, he won a marathon medal at the World Cup.
A lovely human story.
