In the social networks, the 26-year-old athlete said he was "extremely grateful to all the people who made and are part" of his sports career. "Alone I wouldn't be where I am, nor have I achieved what I already have," he wrote.
Considering that the road to get here was hard, Manel Kape said it was the persistence and dedication that allowed him to reach the "goals" that he wanted.
"Thank you very much to everyone", he thanked, making it clear that his ambition did not stop there: "my work, my focus and my determination will be redoubled because I have the objective, this year or next year, to become world champion again".
