The peculiarities of the end of this year are three women and one Navarro after 55 years

  • The last semi-final was held on 3 December in Bilbao. In it, Amets Arzallus added the most points and Aitor Mendiluze only received one point less. The final decision is: Joanes Illarregi has been the "surprise" of this year and Alaia Martín and Nerea Ibarzabal will be the novelty of the final.

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

3,600 people gathered at the Bizkaia fronton in Bilbao to enjoy the final semi-finals of the tournament. Aitor Mendiluze ratified the card of the final, turned the step that Amets Arzallus had to take for the final into a leap (here the interview made by Eli Pagola), and Joanes Illarregi got the sum of points achieved in the first edition of the semifinals, achieving the seventh and final position of the final with a good stateroom session. Jone Uria, Maialen Arzallus and Saioa Alkaiza also offered beautiful verses.

The most punctuated Bertsolarism of the program was carried out alone by Amets Arzallus, in which he reflected on his childhood football career. Here you can see all the lines of the program.

The scoring table was as follows in the last semifinal: Amets Arzallus scored 662 points, Aitor Mendiluze with heel (661 points), Jone Uria with 637.5 points, Joanes Illarregi with 621 points, Maddalen Arzallus with 609.5 points and Saioa Alkaiza with 608.5 points.

For the final: three women and a Navarre for the first time since 1967

The seven bertsolaris that will act on December 18 in Pamplona with Maialen Lujanbio are: Alaia Martin (1,405.5 points), Aitor Mendiluze (1,387.5), Subai Colina (1,378), Beñat Gaztelumendi (1,373), Amets Arzallus (1,350), Nerea Ibarzabal (1,344.5) and Joanes Illarregi (1,332).

Proof that this year the final competition was very close, it was only two and a half points on the eighth July Soto (1,329.5), and three points Aitor Bizkarra (1,329) and eleven points Oihana Iguaran (1,321).

If this ending has several characteristics for history, the first time it will be played in Navarre will be the first time three women participate and after 55 years a Navarro. In fact, in 1967 the Navarros last sang in the Basque Country Championship finals: Xalbadorri was chipped by Miguel Arozamena and Bautista Madariaga. This infographic contains the names of all the finalists in the history of the championships.
