Updated 30 April 2014
Érick Bernabé BARRONDO, Guatemala (20km and 50km Race Walking)
Born 14 June 1991 in San Cristóbal, Alta Verapaz
Coach: Bohdan Bulakowski (Poland)
Born in San Cristóbal, Alta Verapaz, very
close to the athletic city of Cobán, Barrondo soon showed his interest and
conditions to become a high performance sportsman, first as a footballer and
then as a long distance runner.
His parents, Bernardo Barrondo and Leticia
García, were traditional participants at the Cobán International Half Marathon,
Guatemala’s top road race. They both instilled in Erick the love for athletics
together with Jorge Coy, his first coach. “They got me involved in sports as
they were long distance runners. I started running with them to become a
marathoner,” he recalled
After playing football in a plot of vacant
land, kicking an orange as ball and improvised goals, Érick first learned of
his potential during physical education lessons. He realised his endurance and
speed made him among the best runners in his area.
During an edition of the Cobán Half
Marathon, seeing a participant running with the “Guatemala” vest increased his
motivation to tackle the 21 kilometers, training hard to cover the distance in
a respectable time. However, a knee injury destroyed his dreams.
“Jorge started to make me do race walking
as part of my rehabilitation, but I did not like it. I travelled to Guatemala
City for a 10km competition in which I performed poorly. I finished fifth and
cried,” confessed Barrondo, who eventually learned to enjoy the event.
At 18 years of age, Barrondo was spotted by
Cuban coach Lino Rigoberto Medina, who had just been hired to lead the
Guatemalan race walking team after working in El Salvador y Ecuador with good
results. In July 2010, the young walker trained with the new coach for the
first time at the Mateo Flores stadium in Guatemala City, the country’s top
athletics facility.
At the time, race walking in Guatemala was
going through difficult times, after no athlete had qualified to the Central
American and Caribbean Games, in Mayagüez, while race walking had been the
event where Guatemala had been more successful, with Julio René Martinez (who
posted a World record time of 1:17.46, in 1999 over 20km) and Luis Fernando
García (50km bronze medal at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo).
“Érick was a child then. I knew he had what
it takes to achieve great results and I brought him to the team, knowing we
could soon revive race walking in this country with him,” stated Medina, who is
nicknamed Maca by his friends.
On 19 November 2010, at the Cementos
Progreso senior international meet, Érick achieved his first big result,
completing 10,000m in 40:38.74, a new Guatemalan record and the second best
junior mark in the world that year.
This fast time “arrived very early in my
career, but it gave me a good indication of what I could achieve if I worked
hard and gave my best in competition. That result was one of the things that
pushed me to be a better walker,” he explained.
Exactly a month later, on 19 December,
Érick impressed again in his first 20km race during a test organised by the
Federación Nacional de Atletismo de Guatemala (FNA) on Avenida Reforma in
Guatemala City. He won it in 1:23:16, thus securing his preliminary
qualification for the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara.
Barrondo, who had been incorporated into
the Guatemala team, started 2011 on a high note. On 27 February, he registered
his first major international success, winning the Central American Cup in El
Salvador in 1:24.34 in San Salvador, a performance which confirmed his
qualification for the Pan American Games. “I was not satisfied because I knew I
could do better, but what was important at the time was to confirm our great
work with Maca, which many did not believe in,” he commented.
His progress continued on 26 March in
Envigado, Colombia, at the Pan American Race Walking Cup, where he captured
silver with 1:25:56, behind local walker Luis Fernando López, with whom he was
to start a great sporting rivalry. “My nerves betrayed me a bit. I had trained
to achieve a totally different result and a better time. But I knew I was on
the right track and that I would have other opportunities to improve,” he
confessed.
That opportunity arrived on 1 May 2011 at
the IAAF Race Walking Challenge in Sesto San Giovanni, Italy, where he finished
13th in 1:24:32, getting closer to qualification for the London 2012 Olympic
Games.
He achieved his Olympic dream during the
Dublin Grand Prix on 26 June, where he finished fourth in 1:20.58, well inside
the IAAF “A” standard of 1:22:30. That time allowed Guatemala to return to the
Olympic 20km race walking after Martínez had last competed at the distance at
the 2004 Games in Athens.
“Everything changed for me. A dream came
true by making the standard and achieving something big like qualifying for the
Olympic Games. That’s what I was pursuing all my life,” said Érick, whose
desire to improve his marks prevented him from being totally satisfied with
what he had achieved in Dublin. “I wanted to break the 1:20-hour barrier,” he
said.
His next challenge was the 13th World
Championships in Daegu, Korea. Érick and his countrywoman Jamy Amarilis Franco
were aiming to establish themselves among the strongest on the planet and
Barrondo set out to improve Guatemala’s best performance in World Championships
history, a 12th place finish by Julio René Martínez at 50km walk in Helsinki
2005.
In addition to facing off with Colombian
Luis Fernando López and Mexican Éder Sánchez for the Pan American supremacy,
Barrondo also competed against elite athletes like Russia’s Valery Borchin and
Vladimir Kanaykin.
Inexperience took a high toll on Érick, who
went out too fast from the leading pack and as he could not sustain the fast
pace. He was overtaken by the medal winners, including bronze medallist López.
The Guatemalan finished 10th in 1:22:08.
“I am happy to be among the top 10 in the
world, but I am not satisfied with the time. I failed mentally. I was let
myself be overcome by emotions and my desire to win. It is undoubtedly a lesson
learned for the future,” he reflected on his performance.
His most important race of the year came in
October at the 15th Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. Before the 2011
edition, Guatemala had only achieved seven gold medals and only one in
athletics. It was won by Doroteo Guamuch Flores - known as Mateo Flores - in
the marathon at the 1955 Games in Mexico City. Race Walkers had contributed
with three bronze medals won by Julio Urías (50km) and Julio René Martínez (20km)
in Mar del Plata 1995 as well as Luis Fernando García (50km) in Santo Domingo
2003.
On 23 October, on Avenida Vallarta in
Guadalajara, Barrondo competed in the 20km, against Colombians Luis Fernando
López and James Rendón and Mexico’s Éder Sánchez, and triumphed in a time of
1:21:51. The Pan American gold represented the greatest accomplishment that far
in his sporting career, which he celebrated by crossing the finish line, draped
in the Guatemalan flag and with his arms raised to the sky.
It capped a historic day for Guatemala, as
earlier that day his teammates Jamy Amarilis Franco and Mirna Sucely Ortiz had
taken golden and silver, achieving an unprecedented 1-2 in the women’s 20km.
Six days later, Jaime Daniel Quiyuch walked to bronze in the 50km to seal a
historic performance for Guatemalan athletics at the Pan American Games.
“Today, a small country like Guatemala has
shown how great it can be. We Guatemalans arrived here hoping to win and we
demonstrated what we can achieve when we aim for it. It is an immense joy and
it is the best reward for all the hard work, efforts and dedication, as well as
the work accomplished by coach Medina,” Barrondo said as a newly crowned
continental champion.
Guatemalan society celebrated Barrondo’s
success and those of his training partners and the rest of the national
delegation in Guadalajara 2011. It increased interest in race walking among
many children and youth, who wanted to follow up on his footsteps. The
demonstration came a few weeks later, when Érick and the national team drew
around 300 children and youth on Avenida Reforma in Guatemala City in an event
designed to initiate them to race walking.
Several media outlets selected him among
the best Guatemalan sportspeople in 2011 and the National Sportswriters
Association (ACD) honoured him as country’s best sportsman of the year.
In 2012, Erick set himself several goals,
including breaking 1:20 in the 20km race, an accomplishment which only one
Guatemalan had achieved, Julio René Martínez, who did it four times between
1997 and 1999, including his 1:17:46 in 1999, a World record then and still
standing as Central American and Caribbean and national record.
Before fully focusing on that goal, his
coach Rigoberto Medina decided that his athlete should train and compete for a
debut over 50km, as he was confident Erick could contest both distances at the
London Olympics. The Cuban coach was right. At the 81st Spanish Championships
in Pontevedra, Galicia, on 4 March, Érick made an impressive debut at the distance
with a winning 3:44.59, over 14 minutes inside the IAAF ‘A’ Olympic standard.
In the process, he broke Julio Urías’ 17-year old national record of 3:49:57.
“It has been one of the most important days
in my life. I couldn’t find the words to describe the emotions I felt as I
walked my first 50km. It gives me a lot of motivation to move forward and
improve my times before the Olympics,” he commented.
Two weeks later, on 18 March, Barrondo and
the Guatemalan team contested the 10th Lugano Trophy in Switzerland, one of the
most historical and prestigious stops of the IAAF Race Walking Challenge. Érick
returned to the 20km, with his mind set in improving his personal best.
Italy’s 2008 50km Olympic champion Alex
Schwazer and Frenchman Yohan Diniz were in the fray against Érick, who had a
great day and finished third behind them in 1:18:25, a massive personal best by
over two minutes. He had achieved his goal and came within 39 seconds of
Martínez’s national record. “I know I can improve my time even more,” were
Érick’s first words to the national press celebrating his achievement. “Today
we have shown once again that all the hard work we do with the team and our
coach bears fruits,” he added.
As of 23 July, Barrondo was ranked eighth
on the 2012 world lists, led by Schwazer with 1:17.30, and he was the fastest
walker from the Americas that season.
Almost two months followed without
competition, as Érick and the Guatemalan team focused on their conditioning
first in Quetzaltenango, a city located 200 km west of Guatemala City and at
over 2,000m above sea level. They followed it with a camp at sea level in
Barcelona before the 2012 World Cup in Saransk, Russia.
Barrondo arrived in the Russian city as one
of the top medal contenders in 20km, together with locals Valery Borchin,
Andrey Krikov and Vladimir Kanaykin, as well as China’s Zhen Wang. However, the
race on Bolshevistskaya avenue had a sad epilogue for Barrondo, as he was
disqualified close to the 15km mark when he was in the leading pack.
“It was a tough moment, I have never been
disqualified and it took me a while to accept it. I did not come to Russia to
be disqualified but to fight hard for the top placings, and I was achieving it.
Judges decided otherwise and it was a very painful feeling,” he admitted.
After Saransk, Barrondo and his training
partners spent a great deal of time recovering physically and mentally, as well
as fine tuning their preparation for the Olympics, where Jamy Amarilis Franco,
Mirna Sucely Ortiz and Mayra Carolina Herrera in the women’s 20km and Jaime
Daniel Quiyuch in 50km were also qualified.
Based on his achievements and progress,
Érick was shortlisted by the Guatemalan Olympic Committee (COG) for the role of
flag bearer for the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony, together with gymnast Ana
Sofía Gómez and sailor Juan Maegli, who was finally selected for this honour.
The young walker was confident that his
preparation in the last months leading up to London would enable him to fight
for a podium finish and end Guatemala’s 60-years’ medal drought, since the
country’s Olympic debut at the 1952 Games in Helsinki.
“To sum it, all our hard training is aimed
to peak on race day (4 August). What we have done before will be worth it if I
can walk in the lead and be at the top level. There’s nothing else I want more
in this world than a medal for me and my country,” Érick confessed before
heading to London. Since I was a child I dream of competing for Guatemala at
the Olympic Games, and this time I will have this opportunity in two events. I
am confident I can do my best and return home successful,” he concluded.
His words seemed a harbinger of what would happen
in London, where he again contended with the world’s top race walkers, with the
powerful Russian and Chinese, to the take the lead. Erick fought bravely with
defending Olympic champion Valeriy Borchin and Ding Chen to conquer a historic
silver medal, allowing Guatemala to occupy a spot on the podium for the first
time in the history of the Olympics.
A huge mix of feelings invaded him at the finish
line, which he crossed at 1:18.57, and the first thing he did was look for
Medina, his coach, among the spectators and merge into a huge hug.
"This is an unforgettable day for me,
my family, my girlfriend and my country, it means an enormous happiness,"
said Erick, with many tears, when he received the medal which the Central
American nation had awaited for 60 years. To us who are never woken by the sun,
every day we went looking and found it. This is for life," was a phrase
that Barrondo circulated worldwide to express his feelings to have seen a dream
come true.
The excitement in his hometown and all the
Guatemalan nation was the common theme in the days following his Olympic
success. His arrival back to his country was an event that mobilised thousands
of people in Guatemala City and San Cristobal Verapaz, his hometown, where he
was greeted as a hero.
"This is the way many Guatemalans have
always dreamed to be ... united by a joy, so hopefully we will know how to
forever be a better country, a better society, better athletes and better human
beings," he said with great eloquence addressing a crowd in Central Park
at Guatemala City.
Barrondo received the Order of the
Sovereign Congress, the most important award that a civilian can aspire to in Guatemala
and recognitions from government authorities and many other people. No doubt
his status changed to that of a personality recognised by his countrymen.
After a few months, in early 2013 the
athlete and his teammates got back to competition with the idea of shining at
the IAAF World Championships in Moscow, Russia. As expected his status as
Olympic silver medallist, captured the attention of many in all places he went.
The first stop was in Slovakia, during the
Dudince Grand Prix on 23 March, where Barrondo competed for the third time in
his career at 50km and reached first place with a time of 3:41.09, broke his
personal best, but also left behind the America's record (3:41.20) that had
belonged from 1978 to Raul Gonzalez, of Mexico.
However, his return to the 20km was not
successful, as disqualifications at the IAAF Challenge Trophy Lugano, in
Switzerland (24 March) and Grand Prix of Rio Maior, in Portugal (6 April),
forced him to work hard on his technique with Medina to keep intact their aims
to earn gold in Moscow.
"I had to make changes, understanding
I was wrong on my steps. Along with my coach we worked hard to improve, the
World Championships means everything to me, not only for the chance to win a gold
medal but to break the World Record," he said before the World
Championships.
Together with Medina and his teammates, in July
Barrondo left for Europe to settle in the Sierra Nevada, Spain, where he
trained with energy before travelling to Ireland to win the Grand Prix in
Dublin in 20km with 1:20.25, on 29 June.
This was his last competition before the
most important one of the year which awaited in Moscow, where he again he again
carried the hopes of a nation to reach the podium at the World Championships.
Barrondo, then barely 19 years old, had
competed at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, South Korea, where his
inexperience cost him dearly, but had still reached the tenth place. Ahead of
the 2013 edition, he was considered one of the favorites and was expected to
fight again for the gold with Chen and the Russian stars.
"We know it´s very difficult to
compete against the World's elite, but we are confident in our talent and have faith
in God that we will take the fight to give another joy to Guatemala," he
concluded before heading to the Russian capital.
However, the story did not end as he wanted
in Moscow, where was in the leading pack and after 15 kilometres, when he was
on the chase of eventual winner Russian Alexander Ivanov, Barrondo suffered the
disqualification that ended his hopes.
"I knew I could finish on the podium,
but did not want a silver medal again, I risked all and this was the result ...
I have no regrets and if I have to do it again I won´t be scared," said
Barrondo, who received the backing of many Guatemalans after his brave, non-conformist
attitude.
After the World Championships, Barrondo
refocused, but this time without the presence of coach Medina, who unexpectedly
resigned, an event which affected the team and especially Érick. "It's a
shame he leaves, but he has his reasons and now we have to move on, because
this does not stop," he said after the news became public and he was
forced to say goodbye to the man who had helped him become a figure of the
global elite.
A few weeks later, Barrondo and with his
teammates trained alone for the XVII Bolivarian Games in Trujillo, Peru, to
which Guatemala was invited, and he lived up to his role as the favourite, winning
the gold medal. The time of 1:23.25 was not what he had hoped, but the victory
helped him to regain confidence and close the 2013 season on a positive note. "I
wanted to give this medal to Guatemala, now I am thinking about the future and
what it takes to improve," he said at the time.
In early 2014, Barrondo’s career took a
major turn with the arrival as Guatemala´s new team coach of Bohdan Bulakowski
from Poland. Bulakowski is one the fellow students of Jezry Haeusleber´s, and is
remembered with great affection in Mexico after having groomed successful race walkers
such as Raúl González or Carlos Mercenario. Bulakowski came with the commitment
to improve the technique of Barrondo and his partners in order to avoid
disqualifications and improve their chances in the upcoming events like the IAAF
Race Walking Cup in Taicang, China, in May.
"I'm sure he will help us a lot in
that aspect, you have to make adjustments to go faster," the athlete
stated.
After several weeks of hard training in
Guatemala City and Quetzaltenango , the first test of 2014 for Barrondo was in
Cochabamba, Bolivia, at the South American Championships, where he reach the
silver medal (1: 26.42 ) after a very tough competition against Ecuadorian
veteran Rolando Saquipay.
The next stage for him was in Switzerland at
the Lugano IAAF Challenge Trophy, where his 14th position in 1:24.05 was a
contrast to his impressive 2012 showing (1:18;25 PB for 3rd), but Barrondo did
not consider this as a step back. "Many think that because I didn´t win a
medal this is a failure, but Bohdan is teaching us new things and it takes time
to get results," said Erick
Alongside Bulakowski, the race walker
continued his road to the World Cup knowing that many eyes are on him and that he
will again cross paths with Chinese stars Ding Chen and Zhen Wang , his podium
partners in London 2012 Olympics. The challenge to be one of the world´s best
was the main motivation for him along his training. "I know well what
awaits me in Taicang, because of that my work has been more intense than ever,
I trust in the work we´ve done with Bohdan to reach a final satisfaction,"
he said.
