Turkey’s Viktoria Zeynep Gunes unleashed a world best time in the women’s 200-meter breast at the 2015 FINA World Junior Championships.

Gunes blazed her way to a stunning time of 2:19.64 to win the finale at the end of a sterling meet.

That performance beat Kanako Watanabe’s 2:20.90 from Japanese Nationals as the top time in the world this year.

Gunes also vaulted to fourth all time in the event’s history as she joined an exclusive 2:19 club.
