Laura Real, an athletic geek

Laura Real is actually my trainer. She knows everything about athletics and she was very good ahtlete. She works actually in the Tomares school of athletics and she love work with children.


1) How old were you when you started in athletism?
I was 7 years

I did athletism 10 years and since I started junior I spend manu hours to train. I have 10 national medals and over 30 andalusian.


3) In how many teams did you compete? Did you compete with Spain?
I have competed in 6 different teams: PADEM TOMARES, SHERRY CHAPIN, SAN PABLO, SEVILLA ABIERTA RIA FERROL AND CHAIRTOSSAL ALACANT. I made my debut with Spain once in junior and once with the absolute in official competition. Unofficial competitions in 5 more times.


4)Did you do any record? Which one? When?
Currently I have the university record of Spain 4x100 ml and record of Seville in triple jumo. I've also had the andalusian record of 60 ml  and 4x100 ml.


5) Why do you decide to give up your career?
The professional athletics training needs many hours (I trained 5 hours per day) to be above. Tomares school grew and should spend more time so I should decided to continued traning or to followed by traninng school and I thought that training children was better and I believe that I came to my roof sport.


6)Which one was your best experience in athletics?
There are many. My first medal in a national, it was my first time and I did not expect it, the spanish selection debur with absolute, when I did the minimun for the World Championship twice in the same day or when I was second in an absolute competition.


7)Did you compete out of Spain?
No, I have not had a chance, every time I have rated to some international championship finally I couldn't go.


8)Which one was your model of athletics? Why?
Always I wanted to run as a referece was SandranMyers (she has a record of Spain) and international Orina Privalova and Merlene Ottey. I had the experience to run with all of them in the same competition.


I think she was a very complete ahtlete and she learned a lot in her ahtletic career.
