"The pre_race plan had to be simple because the race was so long.
I started slowly for the first km, watching for Garcia, Rodriguez and Kononen.
I made my surge at km, thinking this is the decisive moment.
The second warning was a shock for me: Barcelona on my mind!
It is a pity not to have been given a Polish flag after my arrival.
Nobody was there..."

Stretchered out of the stadium by medical staff.
"Until about km, I felt very good.
Thenk my abductor muscle started to hurt me and I couldn't follow Korzeniowski anymore.
However, I am glad to be among the best in the world!"
-Miguel A. Rodriguez (MEX) - Bronze
"The great heat favoured me, I was well prepared for it.
My respect to all the competitors who got through!"
