Paris, France | August 2026
Spain concluded the European Artistic Swimming Championships in Paris with an impressive haul of eight medals, reinforcing its position as one of the continent’s leading powers in the discipline. The outstanding performance reflects the continued progress of a new generation of athletes who have elevated Spain’s international competitiveness through technical precision, creativity and consistently high-level performances.
Leading the Spanish campaign was Iris Tió, whose exceptional individual performances played a decisive role in the team’s success. Combined with strong results in duet and team routines, Spain demonstrated remarkable depth across multiple events, highlighting the effectiveness of its long-term athlete development program and technical preparation.
The championship also confirmed Spain’s growing ability to challenge the traditional powers of artistic swimming. Through increasingly sophisticated choreography, technical execution and artistic innovation, the Spanish delegation strengthened its position among the world’s leading nations while building momentum for future World Championships and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
Beyond the medal tally, the results reflect the consolidation of a young, ambitious and highly competitive squad capable of sustaining success throughout the current Olympic cycle. Coaches and athletes emphasized that the achievements in Paris represent another important milestone in a long-term process of continuous improvement rather than the culmination of their ambitions.
With eight medals and growing international recognition, Spain leaves Paris with renewed confidence and strengthened momentum. The European Championships have confirmed that the country’s artistic swimming program remains firmly established among the world’s elite, positioning the national team as a serious contender for future international titles.
