Spanish race walker Laura García-Caro cut a dismayed figure at the end of the 20-kilometer race at the European Athletics Championships as she narrowly missed out on a bronze medal having celebrated before the finish line. García-Caro looked set to finish in third at the end of Friday’s race in Rome, and, with a Spanish flag draped around her neck and the finish line inside the Stadio Olimpico approaching, she punched the air in delight. But the celebrations were premature.
The first part of the race I suffered, but recover and in the last 10 metres I thought I had it, but I didn’t,” the 29-year-old told local media, according to Reuters, adding: “Now I have to assimilate and heal my heart.” Antonella Palmisano won gold for the host nation in a time of 1:28:08, her compatriot Valentina Trapletti was 29 seconds behind in silver, and Olyanovska was another 11 seconds back in bronze.
