Both riders competed in the C3 category, and Zaragoza-born Juan Alberto Jimenez came within a whisker of winning gold, finishing just four seconds behind the race winner. Meanwhile, the rider from Tarazona took the bronze medal and was unable to repeat the gold he won in 2022. For Santas, the medal is already his 24th at the highest level of competition.
Eduardo Santas is the leading figure in para-cycling, having won 59 Spanish championships and medals at the Olympic Games in Paris, silver, and Rio, bronze, making him a role model for many in the discipline.
