João Vieira did not complete today's race of 50 kilometers of athletic walking, in the 2012 Olympic Games that are taking place in London.
The athlete from Algarve, who represents Sporting, entered the race excited by the 11th place achieved in the 20 km race, but ended up not being able to cross the finish line.
In the men's athletic walking test held this morning, Portuguese Pedro Isidro also participated, who qualified in 40th position.
Today, from 17 pm, another athlete from the region enters into competition, in the same modality, but in 20 kilometers of women's march.
In 2008, Ana Cabecinha achieved a surprising 8th place, in her debut year at the Olympics, and wants to get back to the top ten in London.
In addition to the athlete from Clube Oriental do Pechão, the Portuguese Inês Henriques and Vera Santos will also be in the competition.
