Spain won the European Youth Championship
With golds from Kai Odriozola, Annette González-Etxebarri and Daniela Sevillano
The Spanish junior team won the European Junior Championship which concluded yesterday in waves of Santa Cruz, Portugal with waves consistent with one metre in size.
The victory of Kai Odriozola in under 18, Annette González Etxebarri in under 16, Daniela Sevillano in longboard, the second place of Lucía Machado in under 18 and the third of Alfonso Zamora in longboard were key to the victory.
In six categories contested, Spain took home three golds, one silver and one bronze.
"A result that will remain in the Spanish Surfing Federation's trophy cabinet and that would not have been possible without the points added by: Janire Gonzaléz-Etxebarri, Ibone Gómez, Jacobo Trigo, Manuel Fernández, Carmen Garay, Hans Odriozola, Alejandro Sancho, Noor Mentado and Alfonso Suárez," wrote the Spanish federation in a press release.
At the ISA Junior World Championships, Spain was the second best European nation by a small margin, while France came fourth with 5600 points, compared to La Roja's 5100 points.
The Spaniards won two medals: Lucía Machado silver in the under 18 category and Hans Odriozola copper in the under 16 category.
