Dennis, silver with Emma García in a mixed duet, leaves the Fukuoka World Cup with a medal of each color. This bronze medal means that the Spanish delegation equals the seven medals it won at the 2013 World Cup in Barcelona, although the program has been expanded to include men’s solos and mixed duets at this event. So there were three silvers in the team routines (technical, free and free combination) and four bronzes in solos and duets (two from Ona Carbonell in solos and another two from Ona together with Marga Crespí in duets).
In Fukuoka, seven medals out of the 11 possible have been achieved. Marina García Polo, Cristina Arámbula, Iris Tió, Alisa Ozhogina, Meritxell Mas, Blanca Toledano, Sara Saldaña and Paula Ramírez have been proclaimed technical team world champions. The other two golds came from Dennis González in free solo and Fernando Díaz del Río in technical solo. The silver was obtained by the mixed duo in the technical exercise of Dennis and Emma García and the bronze this Saturday in the free practice of Dennis and Mireia Hernández.
In addition, Iris Tió has been confirmed as the great relay of the Spanish artist with a bronze in technical solo, and together with Alisa Ozhogina, another bronze in technical duet. Some spectacular results that make us think of big things for the Paris Games next year.
