ODYTA Summary

Asturian speed skating demonstrated its national level at the Circuito de Antoniutti in Pamplona last weekend, where the Spanish Infantil and Juvenil Championships and the Alevín circuit Spanish Cup were held. The Asturian representation finished with seven official medals: two golds, three silvers, and two bronzes, distributed among athletes from AD Astur Patín, AD Novares, and CP Pelayo. Additionally, independent skater Yaeva Herasymenko achieved a sporting victory by finishing first in the infantile female 100-meter event, though she could not officially receive the medal or the title of Spanish champion due to not currently holding Spanish nationality. Kike Blanco of AD Astur Patín was a standout, reaching the podium in all three events he contested. He was crowned champion in the male Alevín sprint lap and added two silver medals after finishing second in the 1,500-meter line and second in the 3,000-meter points. In the female category, Ainhoa Pozo of AD Novares won bronze in the 3,000-meter points. In the Infantil Championship, Yaeva Herasymenko, competing as an independent, was the fastest in the female 100 meters, finishing first athletically, but her administrative situation prevents her from officially receiving the medal and national title due to lacking Spanish nationality. In the Juvenil category, Asturias earned three more medals. Yoel Álvarez of AD Novares was proclaimed Spanish champion in the male 10,000-meter elimination, one of the standout results for the Asturian team. His clubmate Adrián Romero took silver in the male 100 meters, while Selina Casais of CP Pelayo completed the haul with bronze in the female 8,000-meter points. The final tally leaves Asturian speed skating with seven official medals: Kike Blanco (AD Astur Patín) – Alevín sprint lap gold; Kike Blanco – Alevín 1,500 m line silver; Kike Blanco – Alevín 3,000 m points silver; Ainhoa Pozo (AD Novares) – Alevín 3,000 m points bronze; Yoel Álvarez (AD Novares) – Juvenil 10,000 m elimination gold; Adrián Romero (AD Novares) – Juvenil 100 m silver; Selina Casais (CP Pelayo) – Juvenil 8,000 m points bronze. Alongside them, Yaeva Herasymenko's first place in the infantile 100 meters was a sporting triumph that completed a particularly positive weekend for the Asturian representation.
