The Chinese Acrobatic Swimming Team emerged victorious at the event in Doha, narrowly defeating Ukraine and the United States in a tightly contested final. The Spanish team remained in the same position as the preliminary round, while Mexico dropped to eighth place. The Chinese team, in which Spanish coach Anna Tarrés works, were favorites from the start but had to work hard to secure the gold medal. The Ukrainians and Americans also put on impressive performances in the final, with the United States making a significant improvement from their preliminary score to secure a spot on the podium.
The Spanish team, despite their efforts, could not improve their performance. The team showcased an acrobatic routine that was a combination of artistry and athleticism, with the hope of qualifying for the Olympic Games. Their routine, which is a fusion of ‘Carmina Burana’ and Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’, has received positive feedback and promises to be improved if they qualify for the Paris Games. According to Sara Saldaña, one of the team’s jumpers, the routine is both challenging and enjoyable, and the team is focused on showcasing their improved abilities in the upcoming technical and free routines. The Spanish team’s determination and dedication to their sport is evident, and they remain hopeful for future success.
