Fermin Cacho's first notable result came in 1990, when he finished second in the 1500 m at the European Indoor Championship in Glasgow. At the 1991 Wold Indoor Championships In Seville, Cacho finished again second in the 1500 m, behind Noureddine Morcelli.
At the Olympic Games in Barcelona , Cacho was not considered a serious gold medal threat. But the Olympic 1500 m final was run at a very pedestrian pace, and Cacho positioned himself perfectly in the final lap, and outsprinted his rivals to win the gold medal in 3:40.12.
 Fermin Cacho Ruiz(ESP) | 3:40.12 |  Rachid El Basir(MAR) | 3:40.62 |  Mohammed Suleiman(QAT) | 3:40.69 |
