Jessica Vall is in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games!!

Jessica Vall is in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The swimmer from Sant Andreu Swimming Club received the invitation he needed in his lowest B 200 breaststroke and it will be the start in the French capital to experience its third Olympic event.

This was confirmed this Wednesday afternoon by the Royal Spanish Swimming Federation, which requested an invitation in its case afterwards two hundred will leave the Barcelona woman without the Olympic minimum of his fetish test at the Spanish Open in Palma de Mallorca. World Aquatics informed national federations a few weeks ago that it would be difficult for any swimmer to enter an Olympic event with a B minimum due to the amount of current A minimums and reductions in overall quotas, but Jessica will finally be there.

Jessica swam in Palma de Mallorca in 2:03.93, with the most bitter victory of her career as the direct mark needed to attend Paris was 2:03.91. His tears reflected the frustration felt after the difficult past years, with injuries and with a strong commitment this 2023-2024 season to try to live one last Olympic dream.

At 35 years old, Vall will live it up, where it will be a great reward for a brilliant sports career. In a late burst after prioritizing her studies and her professional side, Jessica reached the front line of the elite in 2013 with a great performance at the Mediterranean Games and her national team debut at the 2013 World Cup in Barcelona What has happened since then is the history of Spanish swimming: a European bronze in 2014, a world bronze in 2015, a continental silver in 2016 and another continental silver in 2018, all of them in the 200 breaststroke. All this, crowned by his great victory in the 200 breaststroke at the 2017 Copehnagen European Short Course, accompanied by a bronze in the 100 breaststroke.

Olympian in Rio 2016, Jessica fulfilled her beautiful dream with two Olympic semifinals in the 100 and 200 breaststroke. He repeated his presence in Tokyo, with other semifinals in the 200 breaststroke and eighteenth place in the 100, in addition to participating in the 4×100 medley relay. This cycle in Paris has been different, combining swimming and work and betting the last year on his last good dream. This will become a reality because Jessica is expanding a swimming team that remains at seventeen swimmers and will live his third Games on French soil.
