No Catalan athlete has ever run at the speed of Jaël-Sakura Bestué Ferrera (Barcelona, ​​2000). The athlete trained at the Muntanyenc Club in Sant Cugat del Vallès is having the best year of her sporting career, reminiscing and dreaming of standing on the podium at the World Championships in Tokyo. A few months ago, she achieved the Spanish record for the 200 meters in athletics at the European Championships, a mark she had not surpassed for 35 years. The previous record was held by Sandra Myers in 1990. Jaël's time of 22.19 seconds was the best time for a European athlete of the year. A time that would have given her a medal in the 200 meters at the Tokyo Games. She is also part of the 4x100m relay team, which has a chance of winning a medal. The Spanish relay team arrives with the fourth best time at the World Championships. And she, with the ninth-fastest time in the 200 meters, will be aiming for the final this Thursday.
