Bruno Hortelano Voluntaria 8 (inglés)

This globetrotter, known as the Spanish Bolt, was born in Australia, raised in Canada and studied in the United States. He has prioritized studies in athletics for years (his parents are molecular biologists and he, who since childhood was clear he wanted to study science, studied biological engineering with a major in biomedical engineering).

He chose Cornell University (in the state of New York) because he was one of the best in this field, not because of his sporting offer, but there he also trained as an athlete with the competitive mentality of the American school; The way to train himself is not very different from the Spanish but it is more competitive (Thus under pressure, he excelled better).

Bruno Hortelano has a wide record, which led him to beat the Spain's record for “300 meters smooth” on indoor track under a record of 33.94 seconds. He then again beat the record of Spain in “200 meters smooth” in the world athletics of Moscow of 2013 with a mark of 20.47.

Although it was possible to emphasize his performance as a Spanish athlete in his last season, where he made history placing the gold medal in the European championship of athletics in a test of 200 meters smooth (Spain never had a sprinter that obtained such registers: 20.45 )

And so, because of a blow of bad luck in the draw of the semifinal round of the series of “200 meters smooth” during the Rio Games, He did not pass this stage, getting 10th place, but did Pulverize his personal record and lower it to 20.16.

The moment he received the news that he won the gold in the European Event, it became viral, but this only transcurred due to his opponent being disqualified in first place.
