Alvaro Martin is celebrating a medal-earning performance…
The 30-year-old Spanish race walker has claimed his first Olympic medal, taking home the bronze in the Men’s 20KM Walk at the 2024 Paris Games on Thursday.
Martin just barely missed the podium in the same event at the 2020 Tokyo Games, coming in a heartbreaking fourth place.
Martin finished the race with a time of 1:19:11. Ecuador’s Brian Daniel Pintado claimed the gold with a time of 1:18;55, followed by Caio Bonfim with a time of 1:19:09.
At the 2016 Rio Games, Martin finished the race in the same event in 22nd place.
