Hugo González, sexto en la final de los 100 espalda
Tokio, 27 jul (EFE).- El nadador español Hugo González no pudo pelear por las medallas en su primera participación en una final olímpica, tras concluir este martes sexto en la final de los 100 espalda de los Juegos Olímpicos de Tokio.
Un resultado que, sin embargo, no puede ser más esperanzador pensando en los 200 estilos, la prueba en la que González se proclamó campeón de Europa el pasado mes de mayo y en la que residen sus auténticas opciones de podio.
