- Budapest World Cup: Alba Vázquez: gold and junior world record of 400 styles
The Spanish Alba Vázquez , who on Tuesday was proclaimed champion of the junior world of the 400 styles with a new world record included, added this Friday her second medal in the World Cups that are played in Budapest, after hanging the silver medal in the 200 styles .
For this, the Huelva swimmer, who turned 17 last February, had to star in a spectacular comeback in the last post, the free swim, in which Vázquez went from sixth to second position. Brazada to brazada, Vázquez managed to overcome the almost one second -0.90- that separated her from the silver medal at the beginning of the last length, to conclude in second position with a time of 2: 13.43 minutes.
An insufficient mark, however, to discuss the gold to the American Justina Kozan , who won the victory with a mark of 2: 11.55, almost two seconds less -1.88- than the time invested by the swimmer of the Colombian Swimming Club of Huelva
Alba Vázquez, who already shined last July in the junior Europeans of Kazan (Russia), where gold was hung in the 400 styles, will again compete next Sunday in the qualifying series of the 200 breaststroke.
For his part, Paula Juste , who was fifth in the 400 styles, repeated the same position in the final of the 400 free on Friday, after signing a time of 4: 10.72.
