Martin Gramatikov secured a notable achievement at the 2026 European Masters Championship Non-Stadia, held in Catania, Italy. The Bulgarian athlete competed in the men’s 50-year-old category (M50) 10 kilometres race walk. According to an announcement made by the Bulgarian Athletic Federation on Saturday, Gramatikov finished the demanding event with a time of 50 minutes and 24 seconds.
This performance earned him a well-deserved silver medal. His strong showing in Catania saw him trail only the gold medalist, Tomasz Lipiec of Poland, in the highly competitive field. This latest result underscores Gramatikov’s current form and standing among international competitors in the discipline.
The victory at the European Masters follows a period of consistent success for the athlete. Earlier in the year, Gramatikov established himself as a leading figure in Bulgarian athletics. He achieved the distinction of becoming Bulgaria’s first road half-marathon champion.
Furthermore, his prowess on the track was recently confirmed when he triumphed in the 10,000 metres race at the National Race Walking Championships held in Hisarya. These recent accomplishments highlight Gramatikov’s versatility across various distances and formats within the sport. His ability to perform at the elite level, culminating in a silver medal finish in the challenging 10 kilometres race, solidifies his reputation as a premier competitor on the international stage.
