Guantanamo.- Cuban swimmer Andrea Becali bid farewell to the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore with a time of 57.05 seconds in the 100-meter freestyle.<\/p>\nGuantanamo.- Cuban swimmer Andrea Becali bid farewell to the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore with a time of 57.05 seconds in the 100-meter freestyle.<\/p>\n
She led the fifth qualifying heat and finished 38th among 82 competitors. Despite not going under 57 seconds, as on other occasions, she showed a more acceptable performance than in the 200m (2:07.65), the distance that marked her debut there.<\/p>\n
Last April, she clocked 56.82 seconds at the Australian Open, where she has been since November 2024 on a scholarship from the international federation, also below her personal best of 56.12 seconds.<\/p>\n
Cuba concluded its presence at the world championships with Laurent Estrada’s performance as the most outstanding, even though it did not represent the highlight of her career.<\/p>\n
In her long course world debut, she clocked 1:03.72 in the 100m backstroke, her most impressive time this year for the national record holder of 1:03.33.<\/p>\n
The Villa Clara native bid farewell this Wednesday with a second-highest lifetime record, covering the 50m in 30.24 seconds. She achieved a time of 30.17 last May at the First Pan American Aquatics Championships in Medell\u00edn.<\/p>\n
The national record belongs to Becali (30.05), which has remained unbroken since the 2023 Central American and Caribbean Games in San Salvador.<\/p>\n
Vladimir Hern\u00e1ndez, for his part, clocked 4:11.70 in the 400m and completed the 800m in 8:41.26, his best times in events of 4:09.47 and 8:39.40, in that order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
