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.
