The Madrilenian Aauri Bokesa recorded the second-best Spanish mark of all time in the 400 meters by winning this Saturday in the first heat of the Bern meeting with a time of 51.08 seconds.
Bokesa, who until now had a best mark of 51.48, which she achieved last week in the Swiss town of La Chaux-de-Fonds, lowered her personal best by 40 hundredths of a second. A cut that allowed the 32-year-old athlete from Madrid to take second place in the all-time Spanish rankings only behind Sandra Myers, who set the Spanish record in 1991 in a time of 49.67.
