Four championship records fell at the Brazilian Junior
and Senior Winter Championships as some fast swimming and swift times were put
on display.
The first championship record came in the junior men’s
100m freestyle where Felipe Ribeiro de Souza absolutely demolished
his prelim swim with a 49.95. Archive Photo via Satiro Sodre/SSPress
Going under 50 for the first time in finals, de Souza
was only a 53.38 in prelims to qualify seventh for the final. The record that
he did break come the evening was held byMatheus Santana at 50.43. De Souza and Santana are
training partners.
De
Souza won the race by a sizable margin as Gustavo Goncaleves came in
for the silver medal with a time of 52.40 followed by Diego
Valentine in 52.47.
The men’s 200m breaststroke races also proved to be
very quick as the both the junior 1 and the junior 2 records were almost
broken.
In the junior 1 race, Eduardo Amaral rocked
a 2:20.05 to finish first and fall just short 27 one-hundredths shy
of Andreas Mickosz’ record. Second was John Gabriel, who was
right with Amaral at the wall, sporting a 2:20.12. Those two were well ahead of
the rest of the field, but it was Amaral who managed to come back strong in
35.75 to make up over a full second on Gabriel’s last 50 in order to claim
victory.
In the junior 2 category the record did fall
was Andreas Mickosz, whose record was almost broken in the previous
race, rocked a 2:14.63 to set the new championship record. Last year, Mickosz
did the same with a 2:16.69. Nobody was close to Mickosz as he ran away with
the victory.
In the women’s senior 200m IM, Joanna
Maranhao took another victory with a 2:17.71. That time broke Julia
Volkamnn’s record that she set all the way back in 2013. The previous mark was a
2:21.70. Michelle Palhares was second, well behind Maranhao.
The fourth and final record came in the mixed 4x50m
medley relay at the junior 2 level. Pine took the victory in 1:47.72 with a team
of William Basseto, Felipe Monni, Luana Ribeiro, and Yasmin Preusse. Corinthians were second in
1:51.55 followed by Mines in 1:52.14.
