The Spanish Paralympic Team will try to maintain its good medal momentum on Friday, the ninth and penultimate day of the Paris Games, where it has already won 36 medals, 37 virtual, and thus get closer to its next goal, which would be to reach the figures of London 2012 with 42 medals.
Spain has already ensured that it will improve its numbers for Tokyo 2020 after a Thursday in which it won four medals, although the gold medals are still somewhat difficult to achieve and remain at seven, which prevents it from moving up in the medal table where it is thirteenth, but the ninth country in total medals.
This Friday, the clearest options seem to be once again in the pool where Marta Fernández will swim, seeking her fourth medal in Paris in the 50 butterfly S5, where she won silver in Tokyo, Anastasiya Dmytriv, who is also aiming for her fourth medal and will swim the 100 butterfly S8, and Toni Ponce, in the 50 butterfly S5.
A feasible possibility will be at Roland Garros where Martín de la Puente and Dani Caverzaschi will fight for bronze in doubles with the French Stéphane Houdet and Fréderic Cattaneo, while on the ‘tatami’ Sergio Ibáñez, silver in Tokyo in -66 kilos and now in a higher weight (-73), and Marta Arce close the participation of judo, and in cycling the only participation will be that of the Galician Damián Ramos, bronze in the time trial, in the online test of classes C4-5.
In addition, the Galician Judith Rodríguez will try to repeat in the épée what she achieved in foil, where she won bronze, while, without any chance of a medal and only in qualifying series, Adrián Castaño (KL1), Inés de Felipe (KL2 and VL2), Juan Antonio Valle (KL3), Higinio Rivero (VL2), Araceli Menduiña (KL3) and Adrián Mosquera (VL3) will make their debut in canoeing.
