An unavoidable reality of the great cycling tours with kilometer-long stages and hours on the saddle is that cyclists must hydrate, something that the International Cycling Union (UCI) accepts and promotes within the rules. Another reality is that this hydration must be released, which makes cyclists need to urinate. And they do so, usually, on the same bicycle and in precarious balance, to avoid stopping and losing seconds and rhythm in the race. And in this regard, the UCI has its reservations.
When Andrea Fuentes, coach of the Spanish artistic swimming team, heard Rosalía’s ‘Berghain,’ she considered making her team’s new creative proposal revolve around that piece to continue revolutionizing the world of artistic swimming. And she changed the initial plan. She discarded keeping the choreography that won two bronzes in 2025, at the European Artistic Swimming Championships in Funchal (Portugal) and at the World Swimming Championships in Singapore, to the rhythm of Lady Gaga’s ‘Abracadabra’ and created a new choreography. Spain will officially debut its new routine in exactly two weeks at the 2026 Artistic Swimming World Cup in Pontevedra, which will be held from May 29 to 31.

The coach made the decision this Sunday to leave the club at the end of the current season, fed up with the lack of demand he detects in the entity and the numerous unfulfilled promises by the section leaders and the board. His destination will be the Middle East, specifically an exciting project like Dubai Basketball, already established as one of the teams in the EuroLeague, which guarantees him the financial muscle necessary to tackle more ambitious goals than those currently managed by the team of his heart.
