The 2026 National Interleague Swimming Championship not only consolidated the hegemony of Antioquia , but also served for the consecration of new figures in Colombian swimming, such as Emiliano Calle Bedoya, born in Rionegro and exalted with the best technical record in the men's branch of the tournament in the 50 meters butterfly, with a time of 23.66. For Emiliano, the triumph had a doubly special flavor, since in addition to the record, fate gave him a moment unforgettable: receiving the gold medal from her mother, Magaly Bedoya , in full celebration of Mother's Month. "For our department it is an important achievement to maintain the general championship for the third consecutive year; we are very happy and proud of the results," said an excited Emiliano.
