Carla Gallardo

Gallardo is from Palencia, Spain and has studied to become a medical doctor in parallel with her athletics career.[5] In her first global track final, Gallardo finished 7th at the 2018 IAAF World U20 Championships in the 3000 metres.[2] At the 2022 European Athletics Championships, Gallardo finished 16th in the 5000 m. She ran with an infection while taking antibiotics, and she injured both of her achilles tendons at the competition.[3] The injury caused her to miss the 2023 indoor season, and Gallardo ran just one race outdoors.[3] Gallardo is coached by Santiago de la Parte, 1984 Olympian for Spain in the marathon.
