The 2026 Lisbon International took place over the weekend, with the annual competition seeing a multitude of meet records biting the dust over the course of the two-day affair.
Host nation swimmer Diogo Ribeiro was responsible for four records, across the men’s 50m/100m free and 50m/100m fly events.
In the 50m free, the 21-year-old two-time world champion produced a winning effort of 22.02 to grab the gold, beating the field by a decisive margin.
Abduljabar Adama was next to the wall in 22.48 and Oscar Pascual Buldon rounded out the podium in 22.98.
As for Ribeiro, his time easily overtook the former meet mark of 22.43 British ace Lewis Burras established three years ago.
Burras’ record also bit the dust in the 100m free, where Ribeiro clocked a time of 48.36 to top the podium.
Ribeiro opened in 23.18 and closed in 25.18 to knock just under half a second off the Brit’s previous competition benchmark of 48.77, also from 2023.
Goncalo Carlos Azevedo clinched silver in 50.15 and Rio Daodu nabbed 50.70 as the 3rd-place finisher.
In the butterfly discipline, Ribeiro punched a result of 23.25 for yet another gold, erasing the former meet record of 23.75 that Dutchman Sean Niewold logged in 2024.
Adama settled for another silver in 23.66 and Issei Kim bagged the bronze in 24.39.
Finally, Ribeiro’s result of 52.18 found success in the 100m fly, once again relegating Adama to silver in 53.39. Vasco Alves Morgado hit 53.51 to round out the podium.
The former Lisbon Meet mark stood at the 52.79 Jamie Ingram put up in 2023. Ribeiro owns the Portuguese national record in this event, courtesy of the 51.17 he notched in Doha.
