Karel Lemes, bronze medal
Irinea Medina, bronze medal
Izan Quintero, bronze medal

The team once again demonstrated its competitiveness in an especially demanding championship, in which each combat was resolved with great intensity and where the level among clubs was very high.
From the technical staff of TAZ Lanzarote, this result is valued as “a new sign of the team's consistency in national competitions”, highlighting the group's ability to adapt to different fighting modalities and continue obtaining top-level results.
The third place by clubs reinforces the work that TAZ has been developing in the training and preparation of its athletes, maintaining itself as one of the referents of the national panorama both in grappling and in Olympic freestyle wrestling.
