Emma Carrasco shines to earn the Olympic ticket in the 200 freestyle

Date:

Emma Carrasco experienced her explosion to the full extent this 2023-2024 season. A reference to the junior category, the campaign began with well-known brands in meetings with the desire to advance their Olympic dream.

The selection criteria for the Doha World Cup focused on the records achieved last season, where Emma has yet to make the step up to the full level. So, he was left without a World Cup, but not necessarily without the first line. He showed at the Sabadell Winter National that he has the potential to become an Olympian after achieving the minimum 400 styles, but he will have to wait to see if it is proven because this championship does not select for the RFEN.

In the middle of that process, on the way to the Spanish Open in Palma de Mallorca, pneumonia brought his progress to a screeching halt. Preparations were interrupted and he was also forced to change his usual program for the final Olympic selection. With him, the bet is no longer the 400 styles, but about 200 styles in which he also excelled at the junior level and in which he performs amazingly.

He proved it on the day of truth. In a fine display, the woman from Ilerda took the victory in 2:11.11, below the 2:11.47 requested. She single-handedly completed the race to beat the championship record, with Alba Vázquez second (2:14.38) and Mireia Belmonte third (2:16.75), both without the minimum option.
