Spanish National Championships, 11-14 December 2025

No, we are going straight into the programmes for the boys.

Mateo SEXMILO ÁLVAREZ (EUS) was wearing a soldier's desert uniform. And skating to music that is definitely from a war film, but I don't know which one.

Not a bad skate.

And he salutes at the end!

He goes into the lead. Obviously.

The last of the Advanced Novice skaters, Pablo BUENO GARCÍA (MAD), is wearing black shirt and trousers, with silver waistcoat.

He is skating to the weirdest cover of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" that I have ever heard!

Thank goodness the skating was good!

Yep, this is the guy that was sitting with Bibian Esther NAVARRO RICALDI (MAD) 20 minutes ago.

He goes into a MASSIVE lead.

And to finish the day, we go straight onto the Junior girls.

@Walt FSHunter - we are starting with a Ukrainian girl, Kseniia ISAIEVA. Who I believe is from your hometown.

Kseniia ISAIEVA (UKR) is the only skater in this group that is not from Madrid. She is based in Valencia.

She is wearing a black dress that has only one sleeve and shoulder. But she has a glove on her left arm instead.

Don't know the music, and it wouldn't be my own personal taste. But it really worked for Kseniia.

I really enjoyed that.

A good start to the Junior competition.

She seems happy.

CaroLiza_fan
 
Oh, yes! This is what you always want. A set of siblings going back-to-back.

Adriana SEGUÍ JIMENEZ (MAD), followed by Noa SEGUÍ JIMÉNEZ (MAD).

Adriana is wearing a red dress, and skating to "It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World".

To be honest, I wouldn't be fussed on this version of the song. But, my goodness, the skating more than made up for it! She was great!

And her jacket matches the dress! :laugh:

She goes into the lead.

Now for her sister.

CaroLiza_fan
 
Noa SEGUÍ JIMÉNEZ (MAD) is wearing ablack dress with sparklies around her neck. And skating to a female cover of "House Of The Rising Sun".

Again, like I said for her sister before her, I wouldn't be fussed on this version of the song. But, my goodness, the skating more than made up for it! She was great!

I wouldn't want to call this one. It's going to be close. But, if I absolutely had to choose one, I think I would go for Noa.

Oh, Adriana hasn't stayed on. I wanted to see them sitting together, to see just how alike they are.

Yep, Noa takes over the lead from her sister. By 3.11 points.

Daniela LÓPEZ ROMERO (MAD) is wearing a black jumpsuit with silver pattern.

Another rock programme! :rock: Didn't know the first song, but the second was a female cover of Chris Isaak's "Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing"

She had a fall but, on the whole, not a bad skate.

She seems very young. My guess is that she's just up from Novices.

EDIT: Just checked. I was correct. This is her first season in Juniors.​

She is very disappointed.

She goes into 3rd position.

CaroLiza_fan
 
And we finish Group 1 with another rock programme. Mariam MATEO MARTINEZ (MAD) was skating to a female cover of INXS' "Never Tear Us Apart".

And she was another one wearing a beautiful black dress.

That was good!

She goes into 3rd position.

CaroLiza_fan
 
This second group is more diverse. We have 2 skaters from Madrid, but we also have a skater from Andorra, a Basque skater, a skater from Navarra, and a Catalan skater.

Actually, we have already had skaters from all those places in Advanced Novices. But, two of them were via a skater that was representing France! :laugh:

CaroLiza_fan
 
Alexandra KULDISHOV LÓPEZ (MAD) was wearing a very pale turquoise dress that is more like a matching bra and skirt set. And skating to Middle Eastern music.

To be honest, it didn't all tie together for me.

But, the skating was good.

She goes into 6th and last position.

But, she's happy! Laughing and joking away with her coaches.

CaroLiza_fan
 
Andrea PAZOS GUERRA (AND) was wearing a red dress.

She was skating to a cover of Elton John's "I'm Still Standing". And I didn't like it. The guy singing isn't a great singer.

But, she made a good job of it.

She goes into 4th position.

CaroLiza_fan
 
Nora SAEZ de MATURANA SALAZAR (EUS) was wearing a dress in two different shades of blue. It actually looked like somebody had thrown a bucket of water at her. :p

I would never have guessed it from her dress but, like the first skater of the day, she was skating to "Danse Macabre".

She was good. Although, she did have a mishap near the end when she did the splits.

She goes into 7th position.

CaroLiza_fan
 
The last of the Madrid girls today, Estela RUIZ GARROTE (MAD), was wearing an olè 💃 dress. But, it was black, and the top half had a pattern that made it look like a plague of moths had got to the dress.

At times, the music reminded me of "Assassin's Tango". But it wasn't. It was definitely a tango, though. The voiceover at the start told us so!

She was good.

She goes into 3rd position.

CaroLiza_fan
 
Eloisa MERINO SOLA (NAV) was wearing a dress in various shades of pink. And was skating to Vivaldi's "Winter".

No, I can't make the connection either.

But, she skated it well.

She goes into 4th position.

CaroLiza_fan
 
And we finish the opening day with Elsa BONET SATSUKI (CAT). She was wearing a black and red dress.

We nearly made it through the day without "Je Suis Malade"! :drama:

(Oh, hang on, I missed Group 3 of the Advanced Novices. We might have had another then).

But, at least it was a good skate to finish off the day.

She goes into 4th position.

CaroLiza_fan
 
Oh, boys. This is going to be good on Saturday.

After the SP, we have sisters in the Top 2 positions, separated by 3.11 points.

:drama:

I can't wait for it!!!

CaroLiza_fan
 
It's a much earlier start to Day 2, but a familiar start. Because the Advanced Novices are returning to do their Free Skates. They will be followed by the SP's for the Junior Men, Senior Ladies and Senior Men, and then the day concludes with the first action from all four Synchro categories.

The Advanced Novices are arranged into a group of 6 girls; followed by a group of 7 girls; followed by a resurfacing; followed by a group of 7 girls; followed by a group containing 5 girls and 2 boys.

Livestream for the Advanced Novice FS competitions is now on air.

Hope this helps

:cheer: ALL THE BEST EVERYBODY!!! :cheer:

First up is África HERNANDO PAÑOS (MAD), who is wearing a grey shiny top (with a lot of cut-outs) and black skirt.

She is skating to "Mad About You" by Hooverphonic. Which samples Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake".

She had a lot of troubles with landing the jumps. But, on the whole I really enjoyed that.

Put it like this: this is a programme that I would like to see done clean.

She's understandably disappointed with how it went.
