National Sub-23 Champions in Short Track The men's team from SL Benfica secured 1st place overall at the National Sub-23 Championships, held at the Altice Forum Braga, with 147 points.
Two national records in the space of half an hour for Portuguese athletics. After Salomé Afonso shattered Carla Sacramento's historic record in the 1,500 meters indoors, Isaac Nader also set a new Portuguese record in the 3,000 meters on a short track. With a time of 7:38.05, the Algarve native beat Rui Silva's mark (7:39.44), which had stood since 2000.
Isaac Nader, 26 years old, winner in 2023 and 2024, needed 28.34 minutes to cover the 10 km course through some of the main streets of the capital's downtown area (Avenida da Liberdade, passing through iconic points such as Restauradores, Rossio, Rua do Ouro, Cais do Sodré, Av. 24 de Julho, returning via Cais do Sodré again, Av. Ribeira das Naus, Praça do Comércio, Rua da Prata, Rua da Betesga and returning to Av. Liberdade) and finished alongside Duarte Gomes (28.44m), from Sporting, and João Batista (29.24), from Natação de Torres Novas.
