I thought that translate.google.com would need to do it in chunks, but nope, one shot. Interesting about the Dania training, because to me that seems essential.

The Bilbao Sports Club hosts this Friday the Bilbao Iron Cup tournament, a scoring test of the Jai Alai League. It is a Slam tournament in the male category (6 couples) and Master series in the women's category (4 couples). After the success of the last edition, the best players in the world return again to the same center of Bilbao, turning the sports club into the epicenter of this sport in the next six weeks. Ticket presale anticipates an extraordinary environment from the inaugural day.
➡️ Goixerri, main attraction
The 2nd edition of the Iron Cup arrives with its own name, that of Ekaitz Mendizabal "Goixerri". The Mutriku striker won everything in the amateur field, debuted in the US in 2019 (Dania Jai Alai) and now, at 25, he is the main star of the Magic City Fronton of Miami. This court has a length of 36 m (15-20 m than those of Euskadi), the front and the rebound are glass and play with synthetic balls.
Goixerri's main handicap will be adapted to Euskadi's pediments, play against adversaries like Erkiaga, López, Urreisti or Lekerika and do it under pressure in frontons often full. In any case, Ekaitz's game and quality are out of question for anyone who follows the sport of Jai Alai. In recent weeks he has trained at Dania Jai Alai in Florida, the last long front of the US. After playing the first two days of the Iron Cup, Goixerri will return to the US to fulfill his commitments and quickly return to Euskadi. He will play until the end of summer by the Eraman company!
Imanol López will be Goixerri's squire in the Iron Cup. Zumaia Pelotari is a maximum guarantee defender and wants Deportivo, since last year the prestigious Bilbao tournament was lost. Goixerri and López share Group B with Barandika-Basque and Urreisti-Ibarlua. In Group A, Erkiaga-Gorka, Olharan-Lekerika and Laduche-Del Rio face. The latter, winners of the previous classification tournament.
Slam category tournaments have the maximum score within the Jai Alai League (2,000 PT at stake). The season consists of 8 tournaments in this category and the Iron Cup is the third of the calendar after Eusko Label Winter Series (Gernika) and All Star basket (San Juan de Luz). Erkiaga and Ibarluzea are the current champions in the male category.
➡️Female Master
The first three days of the Iron Cup correspond to the male groups phase. On May 16, 4th Day of the Tournament, the Master Series Women will begin in which four couples will participate: ELAIA-FRIDA, HELENA-MAIA, IHART-MAIALEN and MAITE-OAIA in format of two semi-finals and a final (1,000 PT at stake). In total, the Jai Alai League female (the 1st edition of the story) consists of 10 tournaments: 9 Master Series and the final four or final phase of Donostia. Last year and before the creation of the League, Bilbao already had its Master Series female where Elaia Gogenola and Ihart Arakistain were proclaimed champions. Replies:
