Spain claim fifth Euro Junior title of the LEN Junior Artistic Swimming Championships in Alicante


 

Hosts Spain claimed the only gold medal on the penultimate day of the LEN Junior Artistic Swimming Championships in Alicante with victory in the Team Technical final.

The eight-strong team – Carmen Beato, Maria Bofill, Aitana Crespo, Mercedes Diaz, Meritxell Ferre, Marina Garcia, Lilou Lluis and Valeria Vine – scored 84.6081.

France (83.6897) took silver, with Italy (76.7675) claiming securing bronze.

This latest success for Spain was their fifth title of the competition, extending their lead over second-placed Ukraine who have three gold medals.

The visiting nation look well-placed to add to their haul though on the final day of competition after double European junior gold medallist Daria Moshynshka topped the standings after the completion of the female Solo Free Routine preliminary round.
