Drafting Sports, May 3 (EFE) .- The Spanish artistic swimming continued to collect medals in the World Cup test that is played in Markham and added its fifth gold on Saturday in the Canadian city, after the victories of Dennis González and Iris tió in the final of the free routine of the mixed duo and of Tió and Lilou Lluis in the female duo.
They were not the only metals of the day for the Spanish delegation that, waiting for the acrobatics final that will start at 9:00 p.m., expanded its loot with the bronze that Jordi Cáceres and Aurora Lázaro conquered in the free final of the mixed duo.
Medals that raised to a total of eight, five golds, two silvers and a bronze, the harvest of the pupils and pupils of Andrea Fuentes in Markham, third stage of the World Cup.
An incomprehensible result without the performance of Iris Tió, which closed its contest with three golds and a silver, and Dennis González, which adds three golden metals in the Canadian town.
González and Tió again confirmed their reliability in the final of the free routine of the mixed duo, in which Spanish couple revalidated the gold that conquered last April in Hurgada (Egypt), the second stop of the World Cup.
If in the Egyptian town Dennis González and Iris tió raised with the victory with a total of 273,6421 points, this Saturday in Markham the Spanish swimmers took a new step forward and shot up to 294,6284 points.
Under the chords of ‘Babe I’m Gonna Leave You’ of Led Zeppelin the Spanish couple dazzled the judges, as demonstrated by the 186,0000 points with which they valued the artistic impression.
An unattainable figure for the Chinese very Guo and Jinhan Liu, which despite the greatest difficulty of their exercise, had to settle for the silver medal with a note of 276,9909 points, almost eighteen units less than González and Tió.
The other Spanish couple participating in the final completed the podium, the duo composed of Jordi Cáceres and Aurora Lázaro, who hung the bronze with a score of 268,2267.
A triumph that Iris tió, which had already been silver in the final of only a technician and in that of a free team, added just an hour later a second when imposed in the final of the female duo free routine forming a couple with Lilou Lluis.
Lluis and Tió, which in the World Cup test played last April in Hurgada completed thirds, two positions on the podium uploaded this Saturday after adding a total of 257,9868 points.
Almost five more than the Chinese twins Yanhan and Yanjun Lin, who were relegated to the second step of the podium with a score of 253,0640 units, after being clearly overcome by the Spanish in artistic printing.
The Bronze Medal was for the French Laels Alavez and Romane Lunel, third with a total note of 241,9951 points, more than fifteen units of Lluis and Tió.
Podium that Spain will try to step on the final of Acrobatics that will end the competition and in which the Spanish team will count, if there is no last minute change, with the presence of Dennis González.
The 20 -year -old Ruby swimmer, who made history in Egypt last April by becoming the first man to participate with the Spanish artistic swimming team in an international competition, will look for his fourth metal in Markham.
A city in which González has already hung the gold with Mireia Hernández, in the technical routine of the mixed duo, and with Iris tió, in the free routine, as well as in the final of the free team routine. EFE
