  • Just as in Dubai, Australia tops the medal table with a 9-7-3 tally (they had 10-6-2 in 2013) and the USA earned the most medals, 26 (6-13-7 – in 2013: 9-7-12, 28) and captured the Championship Trophy. Fifteen World Junior Records and 38 Championship Records fell during the six days. The last session brought a truly outstanding swim: Victoria Gunes (TUR) clocked better time in the 200m breaststroke than the eventual world champion in Kazan at the ‘big’ World Championships! She was crowned the best female swimmer of the meet while among the men the versatile Michael Andrew of the USA earned this honour.

  • Australia lost one title by 0.02sec (in the women’s 50m back) but captured another by 0.04sec (in the women’s 4x100m free) and still leads the medal count ahead of the USA. Day 5 saw three more nations earning their respective first titles: Italy, New Zealand and Ukraine – and two more World Junior Records bettered.

  • Tremendous individual efforts highlighted Day 4 in Singapore, at the 5th FINA World Junior Swimming Championships as versatility was the ruling word this evening. We could witness a couple of rare pairings of medal winning performances from outstanding young talents – and as a bonus, 5 more World Junior Records.

  • Spearguns operate on the same principles as hunting bows, so why shouldn’t you be able to use a Bowtech underwater?

  • Whereas in diving, contestants are judged upon their ability to land as smoothly as possible in the water, in splash diving points are awarded for the size of the splash that is created on impact.

    But leading competitors say that it doesn’t hurt as much as it looks.

    “The pain is minimal,” said newly-crowned world champion Rainhard Riede from Bavaria, adding that the more often he jumps the less it hurts.

    “You get used to it,” said pre-competition favourite Lukas Eglseder.
