Iris Tió, synchronized artistic swimmer: “It makes me happy to see that I reach people’s souls”
La catalana, ganadora de seis medallas en los Europeos, apunta a los Juegos de Los Ángeles
Iris Tió (Barcelona, 23) has become the great Spanish figure of the European Swimming Championships in Paris. The Catalan, already world champion of free solo in 2025, was proclaimed continental champion in technical solo, the modality in which the jury scores the execution of a series of mandatory elements against the open choreography of the free solo.
She swam her routine, set to the rhythm of Mio Cristo Piange Diamanti by Rosalía, with an emotional charge that was reflected in the best artistic impression score of the entire final. That was the factor that ended up tipping the scales: she won by just two tenths over the Belarusian Vasilina Khandoshka, who had presented the highest difficulty card in the field.
