MADRID, 31 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spaniards Olivia Smart and Tim Dieck have occupied this Friday the seventh position of the rhythmic dance in the European Skating European Championship, which is being played in Tallin (Estonia), after having achieved 76.13 points.
On the track of Tondiraba Ice Hall, Smart and Dieck they premiered in this championship as a competitive duo. However, both know what it is to participate in a European with previous couples and their debut together has already generated expectations, even looking towards the podium.
“Their good work this season has allowed them to obtain the bronze in the Skate America 2024 of the Isu Grand Prix circuit and in the Nepela Memorial, in addition to the gold in the Iberdrola Spanish Championship,” said the Royal Spanish Federation of Ice Sports (Fedhielo ) in its analysis prior to this contest in the capital of Estonia.
The best result for Spain in dance in pairs during a European was the fourth position obtained by Smart itself with Adrián Díaz, in 2022 and also in Tallin. Now, his free routine with eighteen has theme of the literary and cinematographic saga ‘Dune’.
Thanks to this seventh place in the rhythmic program, the Spanish duo advanced to the free program with the other 19 best couples. They lead the Italians Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri with 84.23 points, followed by the French Evgeniia Lopareva and Geoffrey Brissaud (82.75 pts.) And the British Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson (81,57 pts.).
