An athlete with limited mobility hopes to make history after completing a marathon in Barcelona.

Alex Roca Campillo, who completed the marathon in just under six hours, describes himself as having a 76% physical disability - and is thought to be the first person of his level of disability to complete such as feat.

The 32-year-old, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at six-months-old, has reduced mobility and communicates through sign language.
