2026 SPANISH OPEN SC CHAMPIONSHIPS
Thursday, November 12th – Sunday, November 15th Astralpool, Sabadell, Spain SCM (25m) Live ResultsThe 3rd day of the 2026 Spanish Open Championships saw a few meet records, a new Spanish age record, and a new Spanish national record.
Hugo Gonzalez de Oliveira won the men’s 200 backstroke in a new Spanish record time of 1:47.84. He won the event by a little more than a second over Ireland’s John Shortt, who swam 1:49.02 for 2nd place.
The former Spanish record was 1:49.22, which was set by Aschwin Wildeboer in December of 2008. This was the oldest record remaining on the books in Spain. It was originally set on December 11, 2008, and was one of a trio of records still remaining from the 2008 SC European Championships. The other two were set on December 12 and December 14, 2008, making Wildeboer’s record the oldest.
Gonzalez de Oliveira’s previous best in the event was 1:50.22 from November of 2021, and he will move up to the #2 performer in the world this season, only behind Gabe Jett’s 1:47.75 from the 2026 World Championship Trials.
In the women’s 50 breaststroke, 18-year-old Nayara Pineda Lopez swam 30.30 to win the event in a new Spanish Age Record time. She took three tenths off Jimena Ruiz Sanchez’s 30.68 mark from last November.
There were two Championship records set as well. Egypt’s Youssef Ramadan won the men’s 100 butterfly in 49.14, taking more than a second off Josh Liendo’s prelims record of 50.41. Liendo finished 2nd in 49.90.
In the women’s 100 fly, Irene Ciercoles Galve swam 57.82 to earn the win by about half a second over Aina Hierro Pijol’s 58.34 in 2nd. She took half-a-second off Mariana Pacheco de Sousa Almeida‘s 2025 record of 58.23. Ciercoles Galve is the Spanish record holder with the 57.77 she swam in July.
