Los et\u00edopes Imane Merga y Muktar Edris, primero y segundo en la edici\u00f3n del a\u00f1o pasado, se volver\u00e1n a retar en el Cross Atapuerca que, en su duod\u00e9cima edici\u00f3n, se disputar\u00e1 el pr\u00f3ximo domingo, 15 de noviembre, sobre el circuito del Centro de Arqueolog\u00eda Experimental de la localidad que le da nombre.<\/p>\n
El campe\u00f3n del mundo de cross en 2011, subcampe\u00f3n en 2013 y vencedor de las \u00faltimas cuatro ediciones, Imane Merga, intentar\u00e1 convertirse en pentacampe\u00f3n del Cross Atapuerca<\/p>\n
Tanto Marga, que se qued\u00f3 fuera del podio en el \u00faltimo mundial de campo a trav\u00e9s disputado el pasado mes de marzo en Polonia, como su compatriota Edris, que consigui\u00f3 la medalla de Bronce, ya han confirmado al Instituto provincial para el Deporte y la Juventud (IDJ) de la Diputaci\u00f3n de Burgos su intenci\u00f3n de correr en Atapuerca.<\/p>\n
En 2011 se impuso (27:21) en un apretado final al eritreo Kidane Tadesse (27:22). En 2012, y sobre la misma l\u00ednea de meta, gan\u00f3 (28:07) a Vincent Chepkok, segundo con el mismo tiempo. En 2013 le gan\u00f3 al sprint (28:59) al keniano Emmanuel Bett (29:00). Su \u00faltima victoria fue tambi\u00e9n la m\u00e1s ajustada.<\/p>\n
Tal fue as\u00ed que hubo que recurrir al cronometraje electr\u00f3nico para poder determinar si fue \u00e9l quien hab\u00eda ganado o, si por el contrario, lo hab\u00eda hecho su compatriota Edris Muktar. Ambos protagonizaron un largo y apretad\u00edsimo sprint que les llev\u00f3 a cruzar la l\u00ednea de meta casi en paralelo con un tiempo de 27 minutos y 37 segundos.<\/p>\n
Atendiendo a los \u00faltimos resultados conseguidos por uno y otro es Edris quien parece llegar m\u00e1s fuerte a la cita burgalesa ya que Merga qued\u00f3 fuera de la lucha por las medallas en el \u00faltimo Mundial de Polonia y Edris consigui\u00f3 la de Bronce. Adem\u00e1s, Edris se impuso a Merga en la prueba de los 10.000 metros de los nacionales de su pa\u00eds (Etiop\u00eda) disputados este mismo a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
