The Colombian figure skating team added its fourth medal at the World Figure Skating Championships held in Beijing, China.

This Thursday, October 30, the national quartet, made up of Brayan Carreño, Jeshua Folleco, Juan José Pino and Isabella Salinas, won the bronze medal in the demanding Senior Quartet competition.

Their performance titled ‘Vento’ secured them a place on the podium, highlighting the country’s successful participation in Asian territory.

On the international track, the quartet executed an impeccable routine, evaluated by six judges in two key aspects: the elements performed and the components of the program.

The Colombians demonstrated their technical skill by achieving a rating of 31.17 in the executed elements, complemented by 32.13 in the program components.

This resulted in an overall score of 63.30, a significant achievement given that they did not receive any deductions on their submission.

The competition was led by the Vortex team from Spain, which took gold with a score of 69.44 (34.00 in elements and 35.44 in components).

The silver medal went to the Portuguese quartet Rolar4SK8, who achieved a total of 67.18 (33.30 and 34.38, respectively).
