Martin Gramatikov secured a silver medal in the 10 kilometres race walk (M50) at the 2026 European Masters Championship Non-Stadia, held in Catania, Italy. According to the announcement made by the Bulgarian Athletic Federation on Saturday, Gramatikov recorded a time of 50 minutes and 24 seconds. His performance placed him just behind Poland’s Tomasz Lipiec, who claimed the gold medal in the highly competitive event.
The achievement marks a significant international success for the athlete. Gramatikov has demonstrated consistent high-level performance across various disciplines within the sport. Earlier in the year, he established a notable record by becoming Bulgaria’s first road half-marathon champion.
Furthermore, his domestic prowess was highlighted when he triumphed in the 10,000 metres race at the National Race Walking Championships held on the track in Hisarya. These recent victories underscore Gramatikov’s standing as a premier competitor in the field. His participation in the European Masters Championship solidifies his reputation on the international circuit.
The combination of success in road running, track events, and master-level competition confirms his status as a leading figure in modern race walking.
