Athlete Naomey Ezenwa, a discus thrower for Trops Cueva de Nerja, has been selected by the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation to compete in the European Cup of Throws.
The event will take place in Nicosia, Cyprus, on March 15, where Naomey will have the honor of representing Spain in one of the most prestigious events on the athletics calendar.
Raised in Nerja, Naomey Ezenwa is a 21-year-old athlete, daughter of a Nigerian father and a mother from Barcelona. She recently secured her second consecutive Spanish discus championship in Castellón, winning the under-23 category. Her winning throw of 53.60 meters surpassed that of silver medalist Daniel Fernández from Catalonia (47.03 meters), and bronze went to Raquel Villa Plaza from Soria (42.57 meters).
Previously, Naomey had also won her first senior title with a throw of 55.74 meters, though she fell short of her personal best of 57.66 meters.
This international selection for the competition in Nicosia serves as a recognition of the effort, talent, and dedication of the young thrower, as she continues to accumulate success in her athletic career. The Naomey Ezenwa selection highlights also the high level of athletics in Nerja and the good work of the local club in developing elite athletes.
