He has broken barriers. He has conquered the unknown. He has become a pioneer and legend. But Carlos Gimeno has ended with a first bitter impression after hanging the silver medal in the 'High During' of the Singapore World Cup.
The Spanish jumper, leader after five rounds of the competition, has seen how the long -awaited gold has escaped in the sixth and final one after an entrance not quite clean in the water. The feet have gone slightly back and it has cost him a few tenths at the end of 'Photo-Finish' that the American James Lichtenstein has won.
Therefore, on a total day of celebration that will be remembered in the Spanish jumps, Gimeno's first impressions have been rage. “I am sad, hurt. But I will come back,” said the Spanish for the organization, with a visibly gesture of rage.
It must last little because its competition in Singapore has been absolutely stratospheric. At thirty -five, Gimeno becomes the first Spanish always to climb a great international podium. In addition, in a world championship and after fighting for gold to the last jump. The story is still written in Singapore.
