The Spanish para-surfing team leads the partial team ranking of the AmpSurf ISA World Para Surfing Championship and will start today, the final day of the event, as the favourite to take home its first world team championship trophy.
Of the 14 Spaniards registered for the tournament, nine are still in contention, seven of them already in the final: Ibón Muguerza, María Martín-Granizo, Paloma Onate, Audrey Pascual, Aitor Francesena, Carmen López and Celia Gramse. Marcos Tapia and Angel Curiel are in the semi-finals of their respective categories, one step away from guaranteeing medals.
Just under 1000 points behind is the defending and hometown champion from the United States, making what happens on the final day key to determining the grand slam champion.
The rest of the Hispanic countries also had good performances and were guaranteed medals:
-From Costa Rica: Jimena Ruiz, Henry Martínez and Roy Calderón made it to the grand final of Ladies Stand 2, Visual Impairment 1 and Visual Impairment 2 respectively. In addition, Baldir Vallejos is now in the semi-finals of Stand 2, one step away from the medals.
-From Chile: Catalina Castro in Stand 1 and Noemí Álvarez in Women's Kneel have already guaranteed medals as they are in the grand final. Meanwhile, Altair Olivares from Chile is in the semi-finals of the men's kneel, one step away from the grand final.
-From Argentina: Zoe Giannini in Stand 1 and Georgina Melatini in Prone 2 are also already in the grand final of their category.
-From Uruguay: Isabella Desseno from Uruguay made it to the grand final of Ladies Prone 1.
