MOSCOW, Russia (CMC) — Two of the Caribbean’s top swimmers were double medallists on the third stop of the FINA Swimming World Cup 2013 in Moscow this weekend.

Alia Atkinson of Jamaica picked up silver and bronze medals, while Trinidadian George Bovell added two bronze medals to his tally on the circuit this year.

Atkinson was second in the 50 metres breaststroke in a time of 29.33 seconds, behind Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania (28.89). The Jamaican swim queen also earned a place on the podium in the 100m breaststroke, with her third-placed finish in 1:04.64.
