The Achievement at a Glance
Fourth place for the Spanish team at the 2026 CMAS Spearfishing World Cup in Sagres, Portugal.
ISCB PE teacher Esteve Genís competed with David Montero and César Bustelo on 4 and 5 September. After finishing the first day in fifth place, the team climbed one position in the final standings.
Competing at the 2026 CMAS Spearfishing World Cup
The international competition brought together 30 teams, including clubs and national squads, for two demanding days in Sagres, Portugal.
The Spanish team consisted of David Montero, César Bustelo and Esteve Genís, led by national coach Chus Expósito. Physical preparation, technical skill and coordination were central to their performance.
From Fifth to Fourth Place
On the first day, the Spanish team caught 28 fish and finished in fifth place.
The athletes returned for the second day with renewed focus, catching 35 fish and moving up one position to secure fourth place in the final standings.
The result followed two days of demanding competition, with each team member contributing to the collective performance.
The Demands of Competitive Spearfishing
Spearfishing requires physical fitness, concentration, technical ability and a thorough understanding of the marine environment.
Competitions follow specific rules, including minimum weight requirements for each species and limits on the number of fish that may be caught per species.
Success depends on preparation and the ability to work together throughout the competition.
A Competition with a Charitable Purpose
The event also had a charitable dimension: the fish caught during the competition were donated to charity.
This commitment gave the competition a purpose beyond the final standings, supporting social organisations through the donation of the catch.
