Double Spanish gold in the march of the Europeans of Birmingham: Paul McGrath and María Pérez

Over a hundred walkers invaded the streets of Birmingham's Little Spain neighborhood on a Saturday morning. They walked at speeds of 14, 15, and 16 kilometers per hour. Paul McGrath, 24, from Barcelona, won a European gold medal, adding to his previous bronze medal at the world championships in Tokyo last year. María Pérez, 30, also won her second European gold medal, following her debut eight years ago in Berlin, and also has four world championships and an Olympic gold medal.
