Spanish cycling continues to attract attention thanks to new names. This time it was Paula Ostis, representing Navarra, who stood out on the European stage. In just one week, she achieved two major successes, strengthening her position among the continent’s top young athletes.
Last weekend, Ostis competed in Rwanda, where she became the world champion in the junior road race. In addition, she finished second in the individual time trial, which in itself was a significant result for the Spanish team.
However, the athlete’s achievements did not end there. On Wednesday, in the Drôme-Ardèche region of France, the European Junior Cycling Championships took place. In the individual time trial, Ostis once again demonstrated a high level of preparation and confidently completed the course, finishing with a time of 18 minutes and 38 seconds. Her closest rival, Magdalena Leis from Germany, was just two seconds behind, making the race especially intense right up to the finish line.
This success allowed Paula to add another gold medal to her collection. Over the past five days, she has twice climbed to the top step of the podium at major international competitions. Such results have not gone unnoticed by either experts or fans, who are already calling Ostis one of the most promising athletes of her generation.
Paula Ostiz is only 18, but she already rides for Movistar Team and is considered one of the main hopes of Spanish cycling. Her achievements in Rwanda and France have sparked discussions about the future of women’s cycling in the country. Experts note that such rapid progress and consistent results on the international stage could usher in a new era for Spanish athletes.
The victory at Drôme-Ardèche strengthened Ostiz’s position in the world ranking and drew the attention of leading teams and experts. In the near future, she is expected to continue competing in major tournaments, where she can further prove her high level and build on her successes.
The Spanish Cycling Federation has already expressed satisfaction with the young athlete’s results, emphasizing that her achievements inspire a new generation and contribute to the development of the sport in the country. In Navarra, Ostiz’s accomplishments have sparked particular pride, with local sports organizations highlighting her role in popularizing cycling among youth.
