Joan Llaneras is already the best Spanish Olympic

The Spaniard Joan Llaneras this morning has become the best Spanish athlete in the history of the Olympics to get his fourth medal.

Joan Llaneras and Toni Tauler won silver medal in the Madison test track cycling, behind the couple formed by Argentina Juan Curuchet and Walter Fernando Perez and ahead of Russia.

This medal has special meaning for the veteran runner, here puts an end to his Olympic career, because in 2006, during a competition, his constant companion in this discipline, Isaac Galvez died. Then he had as a companion to Carles Torrent, but suffered a fractured left femur and had finally Toni Tauler, which has led to silver and has dedicated, among many other people, sure, your co Galvez.

It's the best news of the day, because what else has been bittersweet. On the one hand Gemma Mengual and Andrea Fuentes practically have the money in his pocket in synchronized swimming and David Cal is still on in canoeing. But Juan Carlos Higuero could not capture a medal in the 1,500 meter final, where victory went to the corridor Bahrain Rashid Ramzi in 3:32.94.

And the girls basketball stayed out of contention for the medals to Russia falling to 84-65, although there was a time when Spain was up by 16 points. A disastrous third and fourth quarter gave the victory to the Russians and sent home the women's basketball issue.
