The Spanish 100m hurdles champion strengthens the #JomaTeam running roster with international potential and state-of-the-art equipment
Joma continues to invest in high-level athletics. The Spanish brand has added Xenia Benach to its elite team, one of the biggest national athletics prospects, current Spanish champion in the 100m hurdles, and with a bright future on the international track scene. With this signing, Joma reinforces its commitment to young talent and technical performance in sprint events.
A Sprinter with international ambition
At just 24 years old, Xenia Benach has already proven she is ready to compete at the highest level. Her career highlights include participation in major events such as the 2024 European Athletics Championships in Rome, the 2021 European U23 Championships in Tallinn, and the 2022 Mediterranean Games in Oran, showcasing her steady progression and competitive spirit.
Her signing represents Joma’s strong bet on the present and future of track athletics. Xenia joins a roster that already includes other prominent names from the national athletics scen
High-performance technical gear: The R-1100 and more
Xenia will compete with Joma’s high-performance technical line, specifically designed to meet the demands of professional athletics. This collection features lightweight, breathable, and ergonomic fabrics that optimize comfort and efficiency at every phase of the race.
A key element of her equipment will be the new R-1100 spike shoes, a mixed-speed model developed for events ranging from 100 to 400 meters, including hurdles. These shoes incorporate some of the market’s most advanced technologies:
Internal carbon plate (CARBON PLATE) to improve efficiency and propulsion.
LIGHT REACTIVE, a midsole system with injected Pebax for maximum responsiveness.
VTS perforations for optimal ventilation.
JOMA SPORTECH heat-sealed system that reinforces the structure without adding weight.
All of these features combine in an ultralight shoe that delivers extra explosiveness, traction, and technique on the track.
Joma’s commitment to Spanish Athletics
Xenia’s addition joins other recent signings such as Manuel Guijarro, a 400m specialist and key figure in the national relay team, and Rodrigo Fito, the Spanish U20 indoor 200m champion. Together, they are part of Joma’s plan to become the reference brand in track events.
Joma continues to strengthen its identity as a technical brand specialized in athletics, committed to the development of the sport and supporting top athletes on their path to major competitions.
