Luanda - Angolan swimmer Yano Elias failed to score at the World Aquatics Championships taking place in Doha, Qatar, after finishing over the deadline in the 5km open water race.
According to the website of the International Federation (World Aquatics), the Angolan swimmer finished in the last position, without a mark, thus being Over Time Limit (OTL)
This is the second time the Angolan swimmer misses the mark for finishing outside the time limit, after the one recorded in Japan in 2023.
France's Logan Fontaine finished in first place with a time of 51:29.30, the silver medal went to his compatriot Marc-Antoine Olivier (2nd), while Italy's Domenico Acerenza (3rd) won bronze again.
The last time clocked was by Georgia's Davit Sikharulidze, who crossed the finish line in 1h:04:52.10, in 72nd place.
Angola is also competing in pure swimming, with swimmers Henrique Mascarenhas, who will compete in the 200m and 100m freestyle, along with Lia Lima, in the 100m and 200m butterfly and Nhara Fernandes, who will have a double round swimming in the 50m freestyle and breaststroke, respectively.
Angola took part in the last World Aquatics Championships held in the Japanese city of Fukuoka in 2023.
