An exciting end to the Castle Competition
Last Saturday was a day marked by intensity and competitiveness in the world of castles, with the Castellers de Lleida emerging as champions in an exciting outcome. Their victory materialized with the display of an imposing tower of 8 lined, which, surprisingly, they had dismantled during the fourth round of the contest.
A path of perseverance and passion
Marc Giné, the team leader, expressed his satisfaction with the success achieved, stressing that this victory is not just the result of the moment, but the result of hard work throughout the course. The gang has returned with excitement to the tower of 8, a castle they had previously unloaded during the Sant Anastasi festivities, with the aim of shining in an event of this magnitude.
Consolidation in a region with little roots
The Castellers de Lleida, who operate in an area with little history in Casteller traditions, have demonstrated their ability to dominate structures such as 4de8 and 7de8, achieving them on several occasions during the season. In addition, their recent confidence has been reflected in the completion of a 3 of 8, a breakthrough that has allowed them to explore new horizons.
Looking to the future: new challenges and goals
Looking ahead to the final commitments of 2024, the gang is considering making adjustments with the lined tower to recover its downloaded version. Also, they are expected to try again for pillar 6, a structure they recently brought back after a long absence of ten years.
A legacy that lasts
It is not the first time that the Castellers de Lleida have won a castle competition. In the years 1999 and 2001, they won the Vila de Torredembarra Castles Competition, exhibiting structures such as the 5de7 and the 4de7 with a needle, thus consolidating their reputation in the field of castles. These victories were an impetus for its growth and evolution during the first years of the 21st century.
A new era for the gang
With a recent renewal process that has reformed the gang, the Castellers de Lleida aspire to write a new chapter of success and to continue expanding their legacy in the world of castles. Their commitment and passion are evident, and with each performance, they seek to push their own limits.
