The Paiporta Speed Skating Club excelled in the championship, achieving a total of 18 medals: five gold, seven silver, and six bronze. This result improves their final qualification for the Spanish Championship in various categories. The award ceremony was attended by the mayor of Paiporta, Vicent Ciscar; the Sports Councilor, Susana Moreno, and the General Administration Councilor, Miguel Ángel Ortiz, along with other members of the municipal corporation.
“"This championship has demonstrated the quality and talent of our athletes and has once again placed Paiporta at the center of autonomous speed skating, where our club has improved its results for the next national season, a result of the effort and desire for self-improvement they have shown every day."
The Paiporta City Council's Sports Department has actively collaborated in the organization of this sporting event, reaffirming its commitment to promoting social cohesion through the values and healthy habits that sports foster.
