MADRID, 14 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish skeleton rider Ander Mirambell returned to the podium in the second round of the Copa América, which is being held on the American track of Lake Placid and which ends this Wednesday, after achieving third position in the sum of the two rounds. .
Mirambell said this is “a bittersweet result.” “We have made small mistakes on the descents that have prevented us from being higher.” In any case, third place means continuing to improve points towards the Olympic qualification, his true goal of the year.
The Barcelonian -which was dragging pain in the quadriceps- assures that “today the ice was softer than in previous days and the blades have not slid so well”. The final triumph was for the Australian Nicholas Timmings and silver, for the Israeli Jared Firestone.
“This third place helps us to add more points and recover some of the races where we had not achieved so many to be in Beijing 2022. Hopefully and tomorrow Wednesday we can finish it, although I am worried about the quadriceps injury, which we hope to recover and have it in the best conditions “, sentenced Mirambell.
