DUNIA FELICES BEATS PERSONAL BEST
Peruvian Para swimmer beats her personal best in the 50m freestyle S5 final. Spectators praised her outstanding performance.
There was a lot of expectation at the VIDENA Aquatic Center, and with good reason. Dunia Felices was competing in her first final at the Parapan American Games, and the public was captivated from start to end. Lima 2019 Ambassador lived up to that support, and gave her best to beat her personal best.
Dunia finished sixth with a time of 52.23 seconds, beating her prior best of 53.38, which qualified her to the biggest multi-sports event in the Americas. The athlete from Ayacucho was moved by the unconditional support received and thanked everyone for coming.
“I'm happy for having participated in such an important event. I made some nervous mistakes, but I still have the 100m freestyle, 50m butterfly and 200m freestyle events ahead. Beating my time was one of my main goals and I hope to keep on doing it in the other competitions,” said the Para swimmer.
