Lluis and Tió fail to break the 'curse' and Spain adds another silver medal

Spanish artistic swimmers Lilou Lluis and Iris Tió won the silver medal in the free duet final at the European Championships in Paris on Saturday. After leading the preliminary round, the duo was unable to defend their first-position standing in the final.

According to the reports, the performance contributes to a silver medal tally for Spain at the event, which coverage describes as continuing a recurring trend or "jinx" ("maleficio") affecting Spanish artistic swimming at the championships.
