طوكيو: دفع العداء القطري عبدالرحمن صامبا، ثمن تألق رهيب لثلاثي المقدمة في سباق 400 متر حواجز الذي شهد تحطيم الرقم العالمي، وذلك ضمن دورة الألعاب الأولمبية الصيفية المؤجلة /طوكيو 2020/ المقامة حاليا في العاصمة اليابانية حتى الثامن من الشهر الجاري.
وسجل صامبا /25 عاما/ العائد من الإصابة، أفضل رقم له في الموسم الحالي وقدره 47.12 ثانية، لكنه حل خامسا في السباق خلف العداء النرويجي كارستن وارهولم صاحب المركز الأول والميدالية الذهبية، الذي حطم رقمه العالمي مسجلا 45.94 ثانية، فيما نزل العداء الأمريكي راي بنجامين صاحب المركز الثاني والفضية تحت الرقم العالمي السابق أيضا بتسجيله زمنا قدره 46.17 ثانية، بينما حقق صاحب البرونزية البرازيلي أليسون دوس سانتوس رقما تحت حاجز الـ47 ثانية وقدره 46.72 ثانية.
ورقم صامبا الشخصي في سباق 400 متر حواجز هو 46.98 ثانية، وحققه عام 2018 خلال الجولة السابعة من بطولة الدوري الماسي لألعاب القوى والتي أقيمت في العاصمة الفرنسية، باريس.
وأكد العداء القطري أنه كان يتمنى الحصول على ميدالية في سباق 400 متر حواجز بدورة الألعاب الأولمبية الحالية /طوكيو 2020/، لكنه ليس حزينا بعد احتلال المركز الخامس لأنه بذل كل ما بوسعه وشارك بقوة رغم أنه عائد من الإصابة.
وقال صامبا، في تصريح صحفي، إن ما حققه اليوم يمنحه طموحا للتحدي في المستقبل رغم أنه لم يحقق الهدف الذي كان يصبو إليه وهو الفوز بميدالية، لافتا إلى أن هناك فارقا شاسعا بين ما قدمه وما يقدمه المتسابقون الذين نجحوا في تحسين مستواهم كثيرا خلال الفترة الماضية.
وأوضح أنه كان يعاني من الإصابة في الفترة الماضية، وأنه حقق رقما جيدا اليوم بعد الإصابة بتمزق عضلي من الدرجة الأولى، مشيرا إلى أن الأطباء كانوا يتوقعون عدم قدرته على اللحاق بالأولمبياد.
واعتبر العداء القطري أن سباق اليوم أصبح من الماضي، وأنه يجب عليه الآن التركيز والاستعداد لقادم الاستحقاقات، وخاصة بطولة العالم في العام المقبل، وبعد ذلك أولمبياد باريس 2024.
