Barcelona Synchrotron Park in the race
On last Sunday, Uxio Abuin and Paula García Godino ran on Cerdanyola streets and cycled in the Barcelona Synchrotron Park (BSP). The result is that they are now the new duathlon Spanish champions in the male and female elite categories, respectively.

In addition to them, 1,500 other athletes coming from around Spain participated to the different competitions of the duathlon championships organized on April 2-3 by the Cerdanyola Hockey Club with support from the city council and BSP as main sponsor.

In ALBA synchrotron, accelerated electrons complete about 1 million laps per second around the building. Champions took somewhat longer to complete the competition circuit that ran through BSP but they surpassed themselves as women and men do in the innovative companies BSP gathers around ALBA.

With its bike lanes and its many paths to make a walk o run in the middle of the 200-hectares green areas, BSP also offers people a pleasant environment to carry on any physical activity. With these duathlon Spanish championships, the park aimed at making known this popular place and sharing it with high level athletes.

This event also gave a good opportunity to make BSP commitment known in the territory life: restoration of degraded soils due to past industrial activities or landfills, founding of the Ca n’Oliver museum dedicated to Iberian civilization study and popularization, archeological excavation with the Cerdanyola cultural and heritage department, improvement of the city gas and water supplies guarantees, mobility improvement, …

Congratulations to our new champions!
