On a day in which Spanish swimming is going to swim its first final in the Singapore World Cup with the presence of Carles Coll in the 200 braza Top8, the possibility of looking for a second emerges. Estella Tonrath and Carmen Weiler have qualified on the morning of this Friday, the last day of the championship, for the 200 -back semifinals. Sergio de Celis has not been able to advance in 50 free, Arbidel González in 100 butterfly or the free 4×200 male relief.
The back girls have left good feelings, put fully in the fight for the top8 that will give access to the final. They have swam next to each other. Tonrath has been seventh in the qualifiers with 2: 09.29, while Weiler has finished thirteenth with 2: 10.08 to also obtain access to the semifinals without problems. These will be at 1:27 p.m. Tonrath has a 2: 08.03 this year as a record of Spain and Weiler a 2: 08.56, so they will try to continue progressing after some qualifiers led by Kaylee McKeown (2: 08.01) ahead of Dora Molnar (2: 08.53) and Claire Curzan (2: 08.58).
Sergio de Celis has not been able to advance in the 50s free. It has ended up to be tied with 22.06 seconds in a test with the cut in 21.91. De Celis has achieved the objective of lowering the 22.11 that had as a personal brand since the past Open of Spain and has touched the legendary record of Spain of 2009, with 'Magic swimsuit', by Javier Noriega, set at 22.04. Serbian Andrej Barna (21.44) has sent ahead of Jack Alexy and Egor Kornev (both with 21.52) in qualifiers that Kliment Kolesnikov has not passed (decimoctavo with 21.95) and in which David Popovici and Maxime Grousset have been low.
He has had no options to advance Arbidel González in about 100 butterfly shorter for its characteristics. He has finished thirtieth ninth with 53.12, far from his personal brand of 52.30 last year. Noe Ponti (50.68), Ilya Kharun (50.70) and Andrei Minakov (50.93) have led the pass to the semifinals. Spain has not thrown the 4×200 free male relay.
