Getting Loose - World Junior Swimming Championship - Series 2.1


This is just before the start of the 50 meters Breast Final. You can see how each one prepares in a different way, some jump, some move their arms a little and some others just stare at the goal line to focus.

A couple of weeks ago, Monterrey hosted the 2nd FINA World Junior Swimming Championships, which basically is the biggest competition for the age bracket of the swimmers that should be somewhere around 17-18 and under.

There were a few competitors that will even participate in this year's Olympic Games in Beijing, so it was a good show.

During the week I'll continue to post some more photos from the event.


Esta es justo antes del inicio de la Final de los 50 metros Pecho. Pueden ver como cada quien se prepara diferente, algunos saltan, otros mueven un poco sus brazos y algunos simplemente se quedan viendo a la meta para concentrarse.

Hace un par de semanas, Monterrey fue sede de los 2os. Campeonatos Mundiales Juveniles de la FINA, que es la mayor competencia para los competidores en la edad, que debe ser de 17 o 18 y menores.

Hubo algunos participantes que incluso van a estar en los Juegos Olímpicos de Beijing, así que había buen nivel.

En los próximos días seguiré publicando fotos del evento.
