The final day of the 2026 Spanish Open Trials brought about another national record at the hands of 19-year-old Nil Cadevall.
Racing in the final of the men’s 100m breaststroke in Mallorca this evening, the University of Florida Gator ripped a lifetime best of 1:00.30 to nab the gold.
Opening in 28.55 and closing in 31.75, Cadevall sliced .01 off his own former Spanish benchmark of 1:00.31 he put on the books at the 2025 edition of these championships.
Hugo Gonazalez notched a time of 1:00.95 to snag the silver, as Jorge Garcia produced 1:01.11 as the bronze medalist.
For Cadevall, his effort tonight fell just shy of the selection standard of 1:00.16 needed to qualify in the event for the European Championships.
However, the teen’s other Spanish national record set yesterday, a time of 27.30 in the 50m breaststroke, was enough to make the grade for Paris. That earlier swim erased Cadevall’s former PB of 27.50 and the previous national benchmark of 27.42 Bruno Ortiz established in 2019.
We’ll be posting a write-up of day four finals of these Championships shortly.
