Olharan and Etcheto enter the scene

Tonight at 10:30 p.m. a new day of the Jai Alai Winter Series.

Jean Olharan and Nicolas Etcheto They arrive in Gernika to try to score their first points in the championship. The striker from Pau (with roots in Baxe-Nafarroa) and the defender from Ahetze (Lapurdi) form one of the strongest couples in the championship.

Is about one of the favorite couples in the opinion of analysts and face Aritz Erkiaga, the “Artist” of Ispaster, and Jon Zabala, aka “bullets”, a nickname that Markina has had since his time in the Philippines.

The duel between Erkiaga and Olharan is one of the most attractive possible in the front frames. Erkiaga is the best pelota player at the moment and Olharan one of his biggest rivals.

The Biscayans, in case of victory, will qualify for the semifinals and in case of losing, it will be important to win at least one set.
