Less than 48 hours had passed since
Mireia Belmonte's
entry
into the Tokyo pool left her feeling better than expected, although not a medal, as she was fourth in the 400 styles, separated from the podium by 23 hundredths.
The last 100 of the freestyle had given him hope, but when he had to develop it in the longest test, the feelings were not the same.
She was eliminated and will not be in the final of 1,500, the penultimate in her series.
The Spanish started from street one, in a series in which the great
Katie Ledecky
also took part
, who swam the same day the final of 400 free, where she was defeated by
Ariarne Titmus
, the series of 200 free and this direct semifinal of 1,500.
The American was unattainable to finish with 15: 35.35, the best mark of the test in some Games, although the Olympic record already has a symbolic value.
Mireia started badly and was not able to come back, far from her usual form.
Of the two long-distance tests that he intended to face in Tokyo, his adaptation has always been better in the 800, but the doubts with them came, due to the injuries, they return for the Badalona after this disappointing series in 1,500.
