China’s Yu Hexin raced his way to victory in the men’s splash-and-dash with a 22.00. \u00a0That’s a new World Junior Record, nipping his 18th-ranked 22.01 from yesterday. \u00a0Interestingly enough, that’s not the fastest time by a junior this year as Russia’s Evgeny Sedov clocked a 17th-ranked 21.98 earlier this year in Russia, but the time occurred before FINA began recognizing the records in April. \u00a0At some point, these records will finally recalibrate, but until then keeping track of World Junior Records will continue to be a difficult prospect, at best.<\/p>\n
Brazil’s Matheus de Santana finished a distant second in the sprint with a 22.43, while Trinidad and Tobago’s Dylan Carter rounded out the podium with a third-place 22.53.<\/p>\n
Italy’s Alessandro Bori (22.66), Poland’s Jan Holub (22.70), Great Britain’s Miles Munro (22.82), Germany’s Damian Wierling (22.82) and Great Britain’s Duncan Scott (22.84) also competed in the finale.<\/p>\n

World Junior Record holder Ippei Watanabe of Japan dropped the hammer in the final 50 meters to overtake Venezuela’s Carlos Claverie for the title as he posted a 2:11.31. \u00a0He’s been much faster this year with a WJR time of 2:10.23 at the Japan Open this summer, but his swim tonight was enough to capture the gold medal.<\/p>\n

Germany’s Maximilian Pilger (2:11.97), Hungary’s David Horvath (2:12.39), South Africa’s Chad Crous (2:15.52), Taipei’s Bing-Rong Cai (2:16.89) and Brazil’s Andreas de Queiroz Mickosz (2:17.17) also\u00a0swam in the championship heat.<\/p>\n

Another World Junior Record flew off the books as Russia’s Rozaliya Nasretdinova charged her way to victory in the sprint fly. \u00a0She blasted the assembled field with a 26.26 for the win. \u00a0That performance upended the previous World Junior Record of 26.32 set by Svetlana Chimrova at World Juniors last summer and vaulted her into an 18th-ranked tie with Li Tao in the world rankings.<\/p>\n
Switzerland’s Svenja Stoffel hit the wall second with a time of 26.62, while Slovenia’s Nastja Govejsek placed third with a 26.70.<\/p>\n
Australia’s Brianna Throssell (26.72), Hungary’s Liliana Szilagyi (26.82), Norway’s Elise Naess Olsen (26.85), Slovakia’s Barbora Misendova (26.95) and Brazil’s Giovanna Tomanik Diamante (27.40) rounded out the top eight.<\/p>\n

Russia’s Evgeny Rylov crushed the World Junior Record in the men’s sprint backstroke event with a sterling effort of 25.09. \u00a0That time obliterated the previous mark of 25.22 set by Simone Sabbiani at the European Junior Championships this summer, and moved Rylov up to a 19th-ranked tie with Chris Walker-Hebborn in the world rankings.<\/p>\n
Greece’s Apostolos Christou, the WJR holder in the 100 back, took silver in the sprint with a 25.44, while Sabbioni wound up with bronze in 25.47.<\/p>\n
The Netherlands’ Lauren Bams (25.61), Russia’s Filipp Shopin (25.83), Brazil’s Vitor Nascimento (25.85), Romania’s Robert Glinta (25.86) and Ukraine’s Andrii Khloptsov (26.10) also vied for the title in the finale.<\/p>\n

Olympic gold medalist and world record holder Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania put on a show for the fans in China as she won the finale by more than two seconds. \u00a0Meilutyte threw down an epic time of 1:05.39, just missing her world-leading time of 1:05.21 from the ASA National Championships earlier this year. \u00a0That’s one of the fastest times turned in this week in China across the board.<\/p>\n

Hungary’s Anna Sztankovics (1:08.66), Finland’s Silja Kansakoski (1:09.30), Great Britain’s Georgina Evans (1:09.69), Hungary’s Dalma Sebestyen (1:09.71) and Germany’s Julia Willers (1:09.98) comprised the other finalists.<\/p>\n

China’s Shen Duo, who already set the 100 free World Junior Record with a 53.84 earlier this week, led a Chinese 1-2 in the 200 free tonight. \u00a0Shen skyrocketed to seventh in the world rankings with a smoking time of 1:56.12. \u00a0If not for Katie Ledecky’s ridiculous 1:55.16 from the U.S. Nationals, Shen would have been in the running for another World Junior Record.<\/p>\n

Australia’s Brianna Throssell snagged bronze with a 1:58.57, while Great Britain’s Amelia Maughan placed fourth in 1:59.41. \u00a0Australia’s Ami Matsuo also broke 2:00 with a fifth-place 1:59.63.<\/p>\n
Hong Kong’s Siobhan Haughey (2:00.08), Russia’s Daria Mullakaeva (2:01.32) and and Italy’s Rachele Ceracchi (2:01.32) closed out the championship finale.<\/p>\n
