# Catalog Note
"Duelo Entre Delfines" (Duel Between Dolphins) by Joseph Berna is a sports-competition narrative serialized in the Spanish pulp magazine collection Doble Juego (Double Game), issue 13, published by Ediciones Ceres in June 1982.
The story centers on a swimming rivalry between two California clubs—the Sport Club and the Aquatic Club—and specifically between their star swimmers: Jimmy Stamp (age 25) of the Sport Club and Mark Bixby (age 27) of the Aquatic Club. Jimmy trains under coach Bud Meeker and is supported by his fiancée Stella Horton; Mark is backed by his girlfriend Connie Nadel. After Mark's previous victory, Jimmy has intensified his training, improving his times in all strokes.
At the indoor pool competition, Jimmy achieves an exceptional start in the 100-meter freestyle, maintaining his lead despite Mark's powerful pursuit and personal record-breaking effort. Jimmy wins decisively with an extraordinary time, defeating the previously dominant Mark and securing victory for the Sport Club team. The narrative emphasizes the dramatic competition between the two swimmers and the emotional investment of spectators and girlfriends in the outcome.
