  • Memoria 2013-2014
    MEMORIA 2013-2014 CURLING Club Hielo Txuri-Berri Curling Temporada 13-14 Donostia, 20 de mayo de 2014 La sección de Curling del Club Hielo Txuri-Berri califica una vez más de excelente la temporada realizada por sus jugadores tanto a nivel nacional como internacional. Como logro más importante, cabe destacar que el Club Hielo Txuri-Berri ha disputado 3 de las 4 finales posibles de los pasados Campeonatos de España en sus diferentes modalidades (absoluto femenino, mixto y dobles mixtos), consiguiendo proclamarse campeón de España absoluto femenino por segunda vez en su historia. Eso significa que dicho equipo representará al equipo nacional en el próximo Campeonato de Europa Absoluto 2014 (grupo C). En la modalidad mixta, el equipo Txuri-Berri Cafés Aitona igualó el segundo puesto conseguido la temporada pasada. En la modalidad de dobles mixtos, se consiguieron un segundo y tercer puesto, donde el triunfo fue para la pareja del Iparpolo Sergio e Irantzu (ganadores en 6 ocasiones del título de Campeones de España). El tercer equipo Txuri-Berri finalizó en 6ª posición. En modalidad masculina, el C.H. Txuri-Berri no pudo revalidar su título de campeón de España y terminó en un meritorio 5º puesto, debido a una baja de última hora, lo que supuso tener que jugar el campeonato con solo 3 jugadores. A nivel Internacional, el mayor reto de la temporada fue la participación del equipo absoluto masculino en el Campeonato de Europa (grupoB) disputado en Stavanger (Noruega), como miembros de la selección nacional. El equipo masculino logró una meritoria 11ª posición final y el objetivo de la permanencia.
