The 2nd Meeting International de la Mediterranee in Marseille was
completed yesterday after three days of great swimming action. Mireia Belmonte
from Spain, who won two Olympics medals at London 2012 put on an excellent
performance and won two gold medals (800 m FR & 200 m FL) during the first
day of the meeting. She also took the 4th place in the 200 m FR
(2:02.18) finishing after Melanie Costa (1:58.70), Patricia Ortega (2:00.42)
and Beatrice Gomez (2:01.88). We also had a small surprise at men’s 50 m BK
where Camille Lacourt (24.94) beat world record holder, Liam Tancock, who
finished second (25.46).
