Sometimes it’s good to be the underdog. No pressures, nothing to lose and a lot to gain. Daniel gave it all. In the semi-final, he found already the favorite of the event Ioseba Fernandez, and for just 0.2 seconds difference, he passed the line first. Jorge Luis Martinez, Simon Albrecht and Juan Camilo Perez, were his opponents in the final. The final was really tight. But Daniel with the crazy time of 9’439 won over the others.
