David Cal became the first Spanish athlete in any sport to win five Olympic medals when he took the silver on Wednesday in the C-1 1,000m category despite trailing right up to the 750m mark. “I don’t feel as if I’ve made history, to be honest. I just want to enjoy the medal,” said the Galician after the race. “I hoped to be further ahead at the start but I saved energy for the final stretch and it served me well in the last few metres.” He had previously won gold in Athens in the same event and silver in the C-1 500m. In Beijing, he took silver in both disciplines.
