Smiling and still landing from the cloud of sensations to which he climbed in Glasgow after hanging the European gold of heptalón on the indoor track, Jorge Ureña arrived at his university, the UCAM, to thank José Luis Mendoza, president of the teaching institution, his support to combine the high level competition and the studies he is studying in the Degree in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences.
A support that now translates into a great international success without having to renounce his academic aspirations: "Thanks to the Catholic University I have a margin to not leave the training." The active life of an athlete is short but thanks to the UCAM I go little by little studying and when I finish I will have a university degree to face the next step ".
For the moment, and at the height of its physical capabilities, Ureña is already focusing its next big sports goal, which, like any athlete, will come with the great outdoor competition of the year: "We must prepare the Doha World Cup and once there enjoy and get as much as possible. "
To prepare for that appointment, this medal places him already on the exit ramp of candidates to fight in the first positions but that does not mean more pressure: "This medal gives me more motivation because although you can not get more than a gold what it looks for is that there is more competition and more presence of athletes in these combined tests ".
And beyond the great Olympic event in Japan: "Everything aims to get a good result in Tokyo although I am aware that the medals will be very difficult and to overcome that money of Peñalver de Barcelona 92 ​​is very complicated but we will go there to give everything and see what comes out. "
