Biography

Martín Fiz is a Spanish distance runner and the 1994 European and 1995 world marathon champion. He won world marathon silver in 1997 and represented Spain at three Olympic Games: the 5,000 metres at Barcelona 1992, fourth place in the marathon at Atlanta 1996, and sixth in the marathon at Sydney 2000.

His career spans track, cross-country and road running.
