“It has been a very exciting championship and I am still assimilating itbecause I have not stopped so far. And now that the holidays come, I think I am going to realize a little of what has just happened, because it has really been very exciting, “said the Catalan athlete upon arrival at the Barcelona airport.
In addition to its sports successes, Tió has been recognized by the International Swimming Federation (World Aquatics) as the best artistic swimmer in the World Cup. An award that has received with surprise and emotion: “It has been a dream come true. I did not expect it. Yes I had the feeling that Singapore was going to be very special, but I didn't imagine that so much.”

The Spanish team has achieved a total of nine medals – three golds, two silver and four bronzes – in the championship, thus signing its best historical result in artistic swimming World Cups.
Tió attributes it largely to the work of the new coaching staff led by former namer Andrea Fuentes: “They have helped us to trust ourselves. They have created choreographies with which we feel comfortablewith music that motivates us, and we were going for all, “he said.
However, one of the great moments in Southeast Asia arrived with her gold in the free single, a routine turned into a hymn to the love with which she surpassed the Almighty China. “At first I didn't believe it. I didn't think the judges would dare to put more score than to Chinawhich is sometimes very complicated, “he admitted.
He also wanted to highlight his connection with Dennis González, with whom he achieved another gold in the mixed duo, surpassing the Russian couple. “With Dennis (González) I understand myself very well in the water and thanks to this we have been able to create this duo too. It has been a historic World Cup,” he celebrated.
After a year full of effort and emotions, the swimmer has been ambitious for the future: “It has been a very intense year, but very nice to end it. If we have already achieved this in such a short time with Andrea (Fuentes), imagine what we can achieve later. “
Upon arrival in Barcelona, Tió has been received at terminal 1 of the airport by a multitude of media, something that has lived as a very special recognition: “It's the first time that people come to receive me. I am super happy because she points out that something very big has happened and that people also value it. “
Without more global competitions on the immediate horizon, the swimmer now wants to take a break before thinking about the next European: “I want to undo my suitcase, shower, be calm at home “he said with laughter.
However, its ambition remains intact: “Our goal is to change the synchronized, leave their mark. We will continue to investigate with new movements, create innovative and magical choreographies that impact, “he said.
