Within the project that 42K has been developing for years in athletics and the running world, the commitment to supporting and sponsoring athletes has taken on an increasingly important role. Our commitment covers both young talents who are beginning to stand out on the regional and national scene, and established athletes with extensive experience in top-level competitions. At 42K, we believe in the present and the future, but we also want to continue highlighting the legacy and experience of those who are already part of the history and pride of our athletics.
We’re proud to have ambassadors as charismatic and influential as Fermín Cacho and Javi Guerra; athletes who shine in international ultradistance such as Iván Penalba and Carmen María Pérez; standout triathletes like Alejandra Seguí and Hector Tolsá; as well as young prospects who are making their mark across different categories and who will undoubtedly write new pages of success in Spanish athletics.
Our commitment to the future of the sport is reflected in the growing list of young athletes we work with, including names such as María Valero, Laura Domene, Alex Ortiz and Lucía Santamaría, among others.
Three promising athletes from Valencia Club Atletismo now join this group, and their progress is reason for optimism: Paula Blanquer, one of Spain’s leading 60 m and 100 m hurdling athletes; Elena Guiu, a benchmark in national sprinting; and Evelyn Yankey, a long jumper tipped to go very far. All three are part of a new generation that can leave its mark on Spanish athletics.
Despite their young age, here are some of the most notable achievements they have already reached in their sporting careers:
Paula Blanquer: Valencian hurdler born on July 1, 2003. She has been a seven-time Spanish champion—from U20 to senior—and has earned a senior international cap, winning the bronze medal at the 2024 Ibero-American Championships in Cuiabá. She competed at the Espoo 2023 and Bergen 2025 European U23 Championships, and was also a finalist (6th) at the 2022 World U20 Championships in Cali.
Elena Guiu: Aragonese sprinter born in Velilla de Cinca (Huesca) on June 16, 2004. She is a 15-time Spanish champion—from U16 to U23— and has represented Spain at senior level at the European Team Championships and at the World Relays in Guangzhou 2025. She placed 8th in the 100 m at the 2022 World U20 Championships and competed at the Tallinn 2021 and Jerusalem 2023 European U20 Championships.
Evelyn Yankey: Valencian long jumper born on September 2, 2003. She is the current Spanish U23 long jump champion, both indoors and outdoors. She competed at the World U20 Championships in Nairobi—where she placed 11th—and Cali 2022—finishing 7th—as well as at the Tallinn 2021 European U20 Championships—where she also placed 7th. In 2025, she jumped 6.79 m in Soria, a mark that places her as the seventh-best Spanish athlete of all time.
