The day that the shy, the recoleta, the unique iris tió, crossed with, the fusion of the atom occurred. “When I saw Iris as a little I said: ‘Wau!’ In Júnior he won medals but then disappeared from the map and knew me so badly … when I came to Spain I thought that the first thing I would be to give wings to Iris because I really want to discover how to unleash them. ”
Since in October 2024 both began working in the temple of synchronized swimming of the car of San Cugat, there was a chain reaction of unpredictable consequences. This week he hit the minds of the judges of the International Federation, gathered in Singapore to assess the participants. Iris Tió, chosen by the best swimmer in the contest, won six medals, three gold. It was the brightest harvest brooch in the history of Spanish artistic swimming, quantitatively and qualitatively. Spain took nine medals in total – three gold thanks to the only free, free duo and – and left an avant -garde mark of revolutionary proportions with the inclusion in Dennis González’s team tests.
The 21 -year -old Ruby boy became the first man in the history of artistic swimming to get on the podium of the finals by team in a great tournament. He won two bronzes. “Dennis is much better than I thought,” Andrea Fuentes confessed yesterday. “!”
Inspired by the subversive spirit of the coach, Spain passed as a gale by Singapore. In front were Iris and Dennis. Two unrepeatable swimmers. She and he swam yesterday the final of the mixed duo with Led Zeppelin music –Baby, I’m gonna leave you– And they took Russia gold in the morning. In the afternoon, Iris remained in the graduate of acting as a strong man to support the weight of the girls. The other way around. The routine started with the girls catapulting Dennis to a dual deadly fare to the rhythm of Abracadabra, by Lady Gaga, in a futuristic choreography that consecrated the swimmer as the first dancer of the Nymph Company. A divo without complexes.
“It was thought that the boy would enter the acrobatic team to push the girls, nobody thought that the girls were going to push the boy,” said Víctor Cano, who was a member of the gymnastics selection and now specializes in preparing acrobatics. “But it gives the chance that Dennis has incredible coordination and a spatial vision that I have seen in few people. Putting him out was a stay!”
Spain was bronze in the three team tests, always behind China, which under the government of Ana Tarrés obtained three golds with the best scores in its history and is consolidated as hegemonic power. But while China and Russia are disputed by teams from traditionalist and folk postulates, Spain made experimentation its identity. “The medals for the medals are not interested,” Andrea Sources proclaimed just arriving. No sooner said than done. His any were involved in a search project. Iris, with its surprising gesture, was transformed, at 22, into the flag.
“It makes me very excited that Iris has been able to believe in her because in the end what I have achieved is thanks to the fact that she opened her mind,” said the coach. “I have not done anything else. There are no tricks. He has not trained more than the account. We have only told him that it is incredible and. What is still very shy? Let us leave it like this! Now he is aware of his value. But he has to combine it with humility because after all this is only artistic swimming. We do not have to save the world. Feet on earth. He has managed to inspire many people.
