It is one of the images of the day. The marching Raquel González, with a passport insured for the World Athletics Championships in Doha next September, has posted on social networks a photo accompanied by an explanation that lets us glimpse a bit the extreme conditions, dangerous to the physical integrity of athletes, who will live in the World Cup in a few months. Gonzalez has detailed what they are doing to accustom and adapt the body to the very high temperatures and the infamous humidity that there will be in Qatar.

A very hard preparation

The Catalan athlete has specified that she is using the facilities of the Air Force to subject his body and his 'gear' to conditions similar to those that will be met in the World Cup.

  • 40 degrees and 60% humidity.
  • Sweat, urine, blood and hydration test.
  • 2h before we take a pill with a thermometer inside to control our temperature at all times.
  • The body reaches more than 40 degrees, as if we had a fever.

The European gold Álvaro Martín has also shared in the networks his peculiar set-up in the facilities of the Air Force. All 'help' is little to reach 100% to an appointment that arrives on an atypical date, when there will be only 10 months left for the Olympic Games in Tokyo and one of the hottest lands in the world.
