The Spanish SUP and Paddleboard team yesterday rose to second place in the partial ranking of nations in the world championship of the discipline that is being held in El Sunzal, El Salvador.

La Roja SUP won two gold medals thanks to Esperanza Barreras and Itziar Abascal (ESP) who won gold in the SUP and Prone technical race. In addition, Duna Gordillo (ESP) took silver in the junior women's SUP technical race and Carlos Alonso Ruiz took bronze in the men's Paddleboard technical race.

The result left Spain with partial scores of 14922, less than 1500 behind France, which leads with 16322, and above the United States, which has 14762, and already quite far behind Italy and Brazil, which have 13097 and 12903.
