The 2025 Spanish Summer Championships started with a bang as 20-year-old Carmen Weiler fired off a new national record in the women’s 100m backstroke event.

Racing in this morning’s heats, Weiler stopped the clock at a swift mark of 58.83 to take the top seed.

That effort checked in as a lifetime best, easily overtaking the 59.57 she established in the heats of the event at the 2024 Olympic Games.

Weiler opened in 28.75 and closed in 30.08 to get the job done, clearing the World Championships qualification time of 1:00.16 needed for Singapore in the process.

During tonight’s medal-deciding contest, Weiler was slightly slower but still under the 59-second barrier in 58.94 for the gold. Estella Llum Tonrath Nollgen was next to the wall in 1:00.65 while Sara Costa De Vicente rounded out the podium in 1:00.67.

Weiler now checks in as the 8th-swiftest performer on the planet at the moment.

She represented the sole swimmer of the day to dip under a World Championships qualification time.

Additional winners included:

• Mateo Garcia Castro – men’s 1500m freestyle (15:29.68)
