Hugo González de Oliveira closed the year with a very clear victory in the Ordizia International Tournament, while in women the Czech Simona Kubova dominated, who re-greened old laurels.
González de Oliveira has had a great 2021, He is a national champion, also continental, he got into an Olympic final in Japan and, a few days ago, also in the Abu Dhabi World Cup, he came rolling and, in the short pool of Ordizia, he did his best to win.
The Majorcan played it in the last of the 10 scheduled finals and He did it with a great time of 1: 53.88 minutes in the 200 meters styles to impose himself emphatically and take the final triumph in application of the FINA Table, which converts the times of the different tests into points.
The Italian Mateo Milli, gold in the Mediterranean Games, was very far from contesting the victory because, even though she won convincingly in the 100 meter backstroke, she stopped the clock in the 52:40 seconds that led her away from victory.
Simona Kubova wins; Lidón Muñoz, third
If Hugo González de Oliveira illustrates the present, Czech Simona Kubova recalled the great swimmer she wasEuropean champion in 2013 and world bronze in Turkey, among other achievements, endorse her, and in her backstroke specialty, in the 100 meters, she clearly won with 58:17 seconds.
Francesca Fangio would cement her second place after Kubova with her victory in the 100 styles, with the Catalan Mireia Pradel holding on and second at the finish line 72 hundredths behind the transalpine.
Lidón Muñoz, another of the favorites, had it more complicated in the free 50, his final did not have as much level as those of Fangio and he prevailed without problems but with a time of 25:08 seconds that, being a good mark, disabled him to fight for a victory that he took twice in this same pool in 2017 and 2019.
