The Spanish men’s team claimed the bronze medal at the European 10,000m Cup thanks to the contribution of Joma athlete Chiki Pérez, who was the second Spaniard to cross the finish line.
On Saturday, May 24, the French city of Pacé hosted the European 10,000m Cup, one of the most important long-distance events on the continental athletics calendar. There, Joma athlete Chiki Pérez played a key role in the excellent performance of the Spanish team in the A-race, helping secure the team bronze medal.
Chiki Pérez, a key player in spain’s success in Pacé
With an impressive time of 28:26.39, Chiki Pérez was the second Spanish athlete to finish and ranked 10th overall. His performance was crucial for the national team to reach the podium, earning Spain its fourth bronze medal in the history of the competition.
This new achievement adds to Chiki Pérez’s decorated career in Spanish athletics. He currently holds the third-fastest Spanish time ever in the 10,000m (27:45), is the reigning national half marathon champion, and has represented Spain internationally over 20 times.
Joma tech: a key ally in high performance
Since joining the #JomaTeam, Chiki Pérez has relied on Joma’s technical gear to reach his goals. At the European 10,000m Cup, he competed wearing the R-1200 shoes, a performance model specifically designed for long- and middle-distance track events. These shoes feature reactive technology and a lightweight, breathable upper. The FLY REACTIVE midsole system absorbs impact and quickly returns to shape, giving athletes a strong energy return and a powerful push-off sensation.
Joma, proud sponsor of the RFEA and Spanish athletics
In addition to being Chiki Pérez’s personal sponsor, Joma is also the official technical sponsor of the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation (RFEA). The brand proudly celebrates the bronze medal earned by the men’s team in Pacé, which returns to the podium after winning silver in the same city in 2022.
This result strengthens Joma’s commitment to the growth of Spanish athletics, both at the individual and team levels.
