Julia Takacs announces her retirement from athletics

BARCELONA, 25 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Spanish walker Julia Takacs announced this Wednesday at the age of 32 her retirement from professional athletics, a sport that has allowed her to experience “exciting moments”, such as the silver medal in the 50-kilometer walk at the 2018 European Championships in Berlin, her great absolute international success.

“Life is made up of stages and mine as an athlete has come to an end. Changes are usually complicated, and they cost us, but they are necessary. I have lived exciting moments, but above all, I have met incredible people, which is what really I take with me to the next stages of my life,” said Julia Takacs in a statement published on her social networks.

The athlete, born in Budapest and with Spanish nationality since June 2008, expressed her happiness at having been able to dedicate herself for so many years “to something as beautiful as athletics”. Also, Takacs thanked the work of his coach José Antonio Quintana. “She noticed me at the time and put up with me for 11 years at Blume”, she stressed, without forgetting Montse Pastor and Jesús Ángel García Bragado, who gave her “professionalism” and the ability to feel “with family”.

Finally, the athlete, who was an Olympian in Rio 2016, extended her thanks to the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation (RFEA), which “always” has helped her “both in good and bad times”, to the Playas de Castellón club , to which he has belonged since 2013, and the UCAM, which gave him the opportunity to “go back to study” in recent years.

“Grateful to the people who in one way or another have
contributed to giving the best of me, more as a person than an athlete. I can’t ask for more from life, I can only say thank you,” Takacs said of his dismissal from professional athletics.
