The Suma League brings 600 players to Calpe

On February 23, the teams of the Valencian Community Rowing Federation will have their sixth regatta at the Real Club Náutico Calpe. This is part of the Suma Fixed Bank League of the Mediterranean. There are only five of the ten regattas that are still planned, so almost 600 athletes are being called to participate in a test that will decide who wins this regional competition. The league is mostly paid for by Suma Gestión Tributaria.
The race course will be out in the open sea, across from the Calpe Marina and in front of the beautiful Peñón de Ifach. A great location in the Mediterranean will make people want to keep a close eye on the race as it goes along the coast and through the port area. The style of the race is Falucho Llaüt Mediterranean, which comes from rowing in the Levante.
The distance of the course changes for each group. The kids’, cadet, veteran and SCM teams (made up of people who have beaten breast cancer) will have to swim 700 meters and make one turn. The junior and senior teams, on the other hand, will have to swim 1,400 meters and make three turns around the buoy. For each group, there will be a preliminary test where the athletes will have to record their times. The first start is set for 8:30 a.m., and rowing will happen all morning in Calpe throughout the day. At 2:15 p.m., the last round is set to begin.
The following twenty clubs are taking part in the VI Regatta of the SUMA Fixed Bank League of the Mediterranean: the Sports Section of the University of Alicante; the Alicante Costa Blanca Nautical Club; the Santa Pola Nautical Club; the Benidorm Nautical Club; the Altea Nautical Club; the Jávea Nautical Club; the Oliva Nautical Club; the Campello Nautical Club; the City of Valencia Rowing Club; the Rem Cía Gandía Club; the Rem Grau Gandía Club; the Rem Marina Denia Club; the Royal Valencia Nautical Club; the Royal Calpe Nautical Club; the Denia Nautical Club; the Alicante Regatta Club; the Torrevieja Rowing Club; the Torrevieja Nautical Club; the Clot de L’Illot El Campello Sea Sports Club; and the Cartago Boga-Santa Lucía Rowing Club.

Woman ran over at a bus stop in Alicante and then attacked with scissors and a knife

Accused of purposefully running over a 35-year-old woman at a bus stop in the rural district of El Rebolledo in Alicante and then attacking her with scissors and a knife, among other bladed weapons, a 37-year-old woman and her 16-year-old daughter were taken into custody by the National Police this week. Days after the two parties argued, the attack took place.
The event happened on Camino del Fardacho in El Rebolledo last Monday at approximately 11 a.m. Following their prompt response after being mobilised by the 091 dispatch team, officers from Grupo de Motos de Seguridad Ciudadana -los “Rayos” (the Citizen Security Motorcycle Group (the “Rayos”)) and the Alicante Central Police Station apprehended the two suspected offenders after the National Police received a report of a hit-and-run and assault with sharp objects at a bus stop.
The victim was hit by a car driven by a mother and her daughter as she was at a bus stop in El Rebolledo with her companion, according to police records. The accused motorist struck the victim in the leg after colliding into the bus stop and then turned around with the intention of striking her once more. After she finally pulled over, the mother and daughter used a knife and scissors to attack the wounded woman.
When receiving an 091 call, the National Police promptly responded and took the two attackers into custody when the victim’s boyfriend stepped in to stop additional beatings.
After arriving at the site, a Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance treated the injured individual and transported her to a hospital, where she received treatment for cuts and bruises to several body regions; stitches were not required.
After that, forensic and judicial police officers showed up at the scene. They discovered the knife and scissors used in the assault when they were inspecting the detainee’s vehicle.

In Benidorm, a repeat abuser breaks into his ex-‘s home and assaults her

A man was given a total term of two years and three months in jail by the Alicante Provincial Court. The punishment was handed out to a habitual abuser who broke into his ex-partner’s Benidorm home and assaulted her. In order to avoid calling a jury to try a breaking-and-entering case, the defendant came to an agreement whereby he entered a guilty plea to the offences.
The man was incarcerated after receiving multiple convictions for abuse and restraining order violations.
On May 6th of last year, the woman was leaving the grocery while examining her cell phone in the first of the events for which he is currently facing charges. The defendant flung her phone to the ground as he came up behind her. According to the verdict, it is established that the defendant completely disregarded the restraining order that forbade him from approaching the victim.
On May 8th, two days later, the defendant jumped through the living room window to enter the victim’s house. “If you’re not for me, you’re for no one,” he said, grabbing the victim by the hair and dragging her into the living room. He then kicked and punched her, threatening her with a screwdriver and screaming that she had sent him to jail and that he was going to kill her first, then kill himself.
During a High Court hearing this week, the man entered a guilty plea.
