73rd Descent of the Sella
Keep adding to the legend: Julio Martínez claims his eleventh victory in the 2009 International Descent of the Sella, cementing his status as the undisputed king of this iconic canoeing race in Asturias.
Heavy rains in the days before the event raised the Sella River’s flow, promising a fast and thrilling day. Julio Martínez, alongside Miguel Fernández Castañón, not only won convincingly in K-2 but also set a new course record with a time of 1 hour, 1 minute, and 14 seconds.
A historic year for the Descenso del Sella that confirms this legendary duo’s dominance and enhances the prestige of one of Spain’s most celebrated river races.
