María de Valdés wins silver in the 10 kilometers in open water at the Doha Swimming World Cup. The Spanish woman earns her ticket to the Paris Games after a sprint final with the favorite, Van Rouwendaal.

De Valdés' silver is great news for Spanish swimming, which did not win a single medal in swimming at the 2022 and 2023 world championships. The other Spaniard in this Saturday's event in Doha, Ángela Martínez from Elche, finished thirteenth.
