The competition ran for nine days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Spanish team achieved its best ever junior result there, and the figures released by the <strong>Spanish Kickboxing and Muaythai Federation<\/strong> give a good idea of the level of the event:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>26 medals<\/strong> in total: six golds, six silvers and 14 bronzes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>14th place<\/strong> in the medal table, ahead of countries with a strong kickboxing tradition such as Ukraine, Ireland and Germany.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Six world titles<\/strong>, including Andrea&#8217;s in low kick, in the -48 kg category.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her gold is all the more remarkable for one reason. In spring 2026, Andrea had never competed in the ring: her goal was to make her debut in the discipline and qualify for the Spanish Championships. A few months later, she has won world gold in the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_Benifaio_to_the_BoxSafor_tatami\"><\/span>From Benifai\u00f3 to the BoxSafor tatami<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andrea comes from <strong>Benifai\u00f3<\/strong>, in the Ribera area, and has practised kickboxing since the age of three. She started almost by chance, going along to the gym with her brother, where the coaches quickly spotted her potential. She has been a member of BoxSafor Club Gandia since <strong>2021<\/strong> and travels from her home town almost every day to train with the club&#8217;s technical director, <strong>Jos\u00e9 A. N\u00fa\u00f1ez<\/strong>. Her parents and grandfather take care of the journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She combines training with an intermediate vocational course in sport in Valencia, and she is clear about her future outside the tatami: she would like to become a nutritionist. In her own words, &#8220;the most important thing for me is to grow as a person&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her record was already impressive before Jesolo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Spanish champion<\/strong> in 2023, after several years of narrowly missing out on gold, and again in 2026 in <strong>Point Fight<\/strong>, the title that opened the door to the World Championships.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Two golds at the European Cup<\/strong> and a <strong>bronze at the European Championships<\/strong> held in Italy, already as a member of the Spanish national team.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Number one in the WAKO world ranking<\/strong> in her category in March 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BoxSafor_Club_kickboxing_based_in_Gandia\"><\/span>BoxSafor Club, kickboxing based in Gandia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BoxSafor Club works with athletes from across the Safor area from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/BOXSAFOR+CLUB\/@38.9675536,-0.1940869,1047m\/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0xd61e929bbdaa6b9:0x2c359c3cc36ef12c!8m2!3d38.9675495!4d-0.191512!16s%2Fg%2F11vdhn8xk1?entry=ttu&amp;g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDkyOC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/BOXSAFOR+CLUB\/@38.9675536,-0.1940869,1047m\/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0xd61e929bbdaa6b9:0x2c359c3cc36ef12c!8m2!3d38.9675495!4d-0.191512!16s%2Fg%2F11vdhn8xk1?entry=ttu&amp;g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDkyOC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">its home base in Gandia<\/a>.
