Spanish Duo Wins Bronze in Women's Tennis Doubles; A Historic Run

Cristina Bucsa and Sara Sorribes Tormo secured the bronze medal in women's tennis doubles for Spain at the Paris Olympics, successfully overcoming the Czech pair Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova with a 6-2, 6-2 victory on Sunday. This achievement marked only their second event as a team.

The Spanish duo amassed Spain's fifth medal in women's doubles at a Summer Games, having previously claimed a trophy in Madrid in May. Despite their success, neither Bucsa nor Sorribes Tormo has won a Grand Slam doubles title yet.

Later that day, Mirra Andreeva and Diana Shnaider competed for the gold in the women's doubles final as Individual Neutral Athletes, representing a group not officially associated with any country due to the ongoing conflict involving Russia. They faced off against Italy's Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini.
