Fermín cacho barcelona 92

Quién ganó los juegos olímpicos de 1988

Fermín Cacho Ruiz (nacido el 16 de febrero de 1969) es un atleta español de atletismo, ganador de la medalla de oro en los 1.500 metros en los Juegos Olímpicos de verano de 1992 en Barcelona y de la medalla de plata en los 1.500 metros en los Juegos Olímpicos de verano de 1996 en Atlanta.
El primer resultado notable de Cacho se produjo en 1990, cuando quedó segundo en los 1.500 m del Campeonato de Europa en pista cubierta de Glasgow. En los Campeonatos del Mundo en Pista Cubierta de 1991, celebrados en Sevilla, Cacho volvió a ser segundo en los 1.500 metros, por detrás de Noureddine Morceli.
En los Juegos Olímpicos de Barcelona, Cacho no era considerado una amenaza seria para la medalla de oro. Pero la final olímpica de 1.500 m se corrió a un ritmo muy pedestre, y Cacho se posicionó perfectamente en la última vuelta, y superó a sus rivales, con una última vuelta sin precedentes de 50,6 segundos, para ganar la medalla de oro en 3:40,12.
En 1993, en los Campeonatos del Mundo de Stuttgart, Cacho terminó segundo, pero al año siguiente se hizo con el título de 1.500 m en los Campeonatos de Europa de Helsinki. En los Campeonatos Mundiales de Gotemburgo, Cacho sólo terminó en octavo lugar.

Gold in 1500 m. in barcelona 92 olympic games

Fermín Cacho speaks looking into his eyes, with clear ideas and the memory fresh, latent, right there, between his hands, as if time had stopped on the afternoon of August 8, 1992, that unforgettable afternoon for him and for everyone, when he won the gold medal in the 1,500 meters at the Barcelona Games.
His story leads to the dizzying moment of the final straight: «With two hundred meters to go, I realized that I was in a state of grace and that I would have won anyway. Herold wanted to pass Chesire on lane two, and Chesire, who was on lane one, opened up to get in his way a bit. I saw the gap and shouted to myself: full speed, Fermin, full speed. Now or never. And I attacked, I attacked with my soul, with my heart, to burst. When I passed Chesire I put my elbow in a little, changed the pace and flew. With eighty meters to go, I saw that I was champion. I am champion, Olympic champion. I won. I have achieved what I was looking for. Fermín won the gold with a time of 3:40.12, worse time than in qualifying and in the semifinal. Moroccan Rachid El-Basir is silver and Mohamed Sulaiman bronze. Noureddine Morceli was seventh.

«In the same media Enrique Pascual Oliva, Cacho’s trainer at the time, has spoken, describing the interview as «orchestrated theatrics». «I don’t believe anything Eufemiano Fuentes said. What I saw in the program seemed to me a well-orchestrated and well-mounted theatrics,» he says, and dismantles one of the bases of the doctor’s words about his relationship with the athlete.  «One of the things he said is false, since Fermín and I did not separate during the time we were at the Games. It is impossible that they met because Cacho and I were together day and night,» he assures.  Fuentes told Évole that he had seen Cacho in the stands of the Olympic Stadium, at least, and that he had treated him with «the usual» at that time, such as «testosterone, amino acids…».

Fermin cacho. gold medal barcelona’92. athletics.

Fermín Cacho, gold medalist in the 1,500 meters of the Olympic Games in Barcelona (1992), criticizes the lack of involvement of the mayor, Ada Colau, in commemorating the greatest sporting event of the city. In statements to Metrópoli Abierta, the ex-athlete from Soria denounces that «Colau stops the acts of homage to Barcelona ’92».
The City Council assures that they summoned Fermín Cacho’s representative to travel to Barcelona, but they immediately clarify: «I think we did not pay for his trip or his stay as other private entities or some media do».
The current municipal government seems to be distancing itself from major sporting events, whose representatives criticize the fact that it has reduced subsidies to Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Barça, for its part, is awaiting a modification of the General Metropolitan Plan (PGM), a long-drawn-out procedure, to activate the remodeling works of the Camp Nou and its surroundings, estimated at 600 million euros.
