Jaume Ferret reports a world record and a European record by two Spaniards on 20 and 21 March.
On his 85th birthday, 21/3/2021, Manuel Alonso Domingo ran the 800m in 3:08.06 to improve the indoor world record in his new age category M85 by almost 3 seconds. So he gave himself a nice birthday present. He improved the previous world record of the famous Earl Fee from Canada, who held the 800m indoor world records in the age groups M70 – M90.
The day before, on 20/3/2021, athlete James Atten Fernandez (M45) set a new European indoor record in the 400m at Gallur Track in Madrid with 50.66 sec. The time of the previous record holder Juan Luis Lopez Anaya (ESP) was 50.72.
The picture of Manuel Alonso Domingo is from the Spanish club championship in February 2020.
