The judoka from San Bartolomé de Tirajana Aixel Ramírez wins the Spanish Super Cup

 

The young athlete from the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana Antonio Aixel Ramírez Pérez has been proclaimed winner in the cadet category of the last Isabel Fernández Spanish Super Cup Championship, held last weekend at the Alicante Sports Technology Center.

 

Aixel Ramírez was proclaimed champion in the over 90 kilo category after beating the representative of Catalonia, Carreras Artalejo, by the highest ippon score in the quarterfinals; in the semifinal the representative of Galicia, Noé González; and in the grand final to the Valencian judoka Luis Stefan, also for the highest ippon score.

 

 

The 16-year-old Tirajano juduca, who belongs to the Bushican Sports Club, attended the Spanish Super Cup after a forced four-month break due to a shoulder operation with a difficult recovery. However, the sensations that he has left in said championship are very hopeful for his next sporting events in the cadet category during 2024, such as the Gran Canaria and Canary Islands championships, the European Cups in Berlin and Coimbra and the from Spain and Europe.

 

Aixel, recently recognized along with other teammates from his club by Mayor Marco Aurelio Pérez and the Sports Councilor, Ramón Suárez Ojeda, began practicing judo as an extracurricular activity, at the age of five, at the CEIP Alcalde Marcial Franco. In 2023 he was champion of Spain, bronze in the European Cup in Fuengirola, silver in the European Cup in Coimbra and bronze in the Cadet Olympics in Máribor (Slovenia). In his club, his perseverance and effort stand out.
