Imane Merga, pentacampe\u00f3n en el Cross Atapuerca entre los a\u00f1os 2010 a 2015, volver\u00e1 a competir este domingo, 12 de noviembre, en el circuito permanente del Centro de Arqueolog\u00eda Experimental-CAREX de Atapuerca, con la clara intenci\u00f3n de volver a reencontrarse con la victoria.<\/p>\n
El atleta et\u00edope, que se gan\u00f3 de la afici\u00f3n burgalesa a base de cinco victorias consecutivas el apodo de ‘Rey de Atapuerca’, se vio superado el a\u00f1o pasado por Aweke Ayalew y Timothy Toroitich (25:05), que se la jugaron en un apretad\u00edsimo esprint, releg\u00e1ndole a una tecera posici\u00f3n (25:12).<\/p>\n
La confirmaci\u00f3n de Merga por parte del Instituto provincial para el Deporte y Juventud (IDJ) de la Diputaci\u00f3n de Burgos, pone la guinda a una participaci\u00f3n de r\u00e9cord que superar\u00e1 ampliamente los atletas inscritos en la pasada edici\u00f3n. Sin duda alguna, y pese a los grandes atletas africanos que se postulan como favoritos al triunfo, Merga tendr\u00e1 a su favor el perfecto conocimiento del circuito, un palmar\u00e9s imponente con cincto vicotiras consecutivas en Atapuerca y, adem\u00e1s, el calor de un p\u00fablico que se ha ganado en los \u00fatlimos a\u00f1os tanto dentro como fuera del circuito.<\/p>\n
La participaci\u00f3n en la prueba \u00e9lite del XIV Cross Atapuerca queda cerrada con tres atletas internaiconeles m\u00e1s. Se trata de los portugeses Rui Pinto y Licinio Pimentel, Oro y Plata en el nacional de cross de Portugal, y el eritreo Yemane Haileselassie, que fue 11\u00ba en los 3.000 obst\u00e1culos en los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos de R\u00edo y que viene de ganar el Cross de La Yecla.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
