Spain stagnates: In the evaluation we do not even reach 5

Spain's performance at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham has been described as stagnant, with experts consulted by ABC noting that Spanish athletics left a poor impression compared to dominant nations like Italy and the UK. Spain secured eight medals and had 29 finalists, matching their results from the previous edition in Rome 2024. The country ranked sixth in points and seventh in total medals at these championships, which did not include Russia. Despite hopes expressed by María Pérez that the march event would rescue Spanish athletics, the overall outcome suggests little progress.
