PEDRO OLIVEIRA HIT NATIONAL RECORD

Pedro Oliveira ended today (March 31) at 5th in the 200 meters backstroke final in the Indianapolis Grand Prix, a competition that is taking place in the State of Indiana (United States).

The swimmer born in Rio Maior, who now lives in the United States, made the mark of 2:00:44, slightly above the record achieved in qualifying (2:00:33), and that is absolutely new national record.

The minimum time for the Olympics stands at 1:59.90. Swimmer Portuguese is still enrolled in qualifying the 100 backstroke and 200 butterfly.
