These results confirm the young talent from Malaga’s steady growth, laying the foundation for further success.

This extraordinary success demonstrates the talent and exceptional qualities of the young Yanguas.
Ivan Ramirez proved to be one of the most important teammates in Yanguas’s career. Together, they achieved their first significant results in 2019 and represented Spain internationally, culminating in their triumph at the Junior World Championship.
