XILABA takes the leap to bigger halls for success
- On 10 October the last session of the elimination phase was disputed in Larzabal, so it was decided which eighteen bertsolaris will sing in the quarter-finals. On October 17, the first session of the next phase will be held, but not in the already announced Bokale, as "having seen the success of this year's championship and the coactions brought by Covid-19", the Bertsularien Lagunak Association has explained that the Bokale hall has become "too small".
About 180 amateurs filled the Larzabal People’s Hall on October 10 to hear the fourth and final test of the eliminators. The table of the points of this session was as follows:
Kerman Diaz 306 points.
Xan Alkhat 304.5 points.
Mizel Mateo 299.5 points.
Johaine Sarraillet 293 points.
Oneka Arteaga Olasagasti (290.5 points).
Josu Txoperena Iribarren (285 points).
