Marta García has won the silver medal in the 5,000 meters event. The race, characterized by its slow pace, concluded with Nadia Battocleti's victory, who proved to be unattainable for her competitors.

García, who had been disqualified at the indoor World Championships and faced a back injury in the spring, managed to overcome these challenges and improve her bronze medal result from two years ago in Rome.

The athlete stated that her mindset was ready for the competition, highlighting her strategic performance throughout the race. Despite past difficulties, she achieved a remarkable second place in Birmingham.
