The 17-year-old vaulted herself from future star to gold medal hopeful in next year\u2019s Olympic Games with four gold medals and a history-making swim in the 200 breaststroke.<\/p>\n<p>Gunes, formerly known as <\/strong>Viktoria Solnceva<\/strong> when she held Ukrainian citizenship, immigrated to Turkey with her family. She immediately improved in her swimming, winning a few medals in youth competition last year. She showed some promise at the world championships in Russia in early August, just missing the final of the 200 IM and 200 breast.<\/p>\n<p>Gunes was one of the few people to uncork best times in Singapore. After winning the 50 and 100 breast handily, she <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/viktoria-zeynep-gunes-lowers-own-world-junior-mark-in-200-im-at-2015-fina-world-junior-championships\/ target=_blank>she reset her junior world record in the 200 IM<\/a> with a 2:11.03. But none of her swims prepared us for what was to come in the 200 breaststroke.<\/p>\n<p>Taking the lead quickly with long and controlled strokes, Gunes was racing the clock by the 50-meter mark. Certainly her meet record of 2:23.12 that she set at the 2013 junior worlds (as Viktoria Solnceva) was going to fall. But to challenge the <i>world record<\/i> of 2:19.11?<\/p>\n<p>The time on the scoreboard \u2013 2:19.64 \u2013 shocked even Gunes. She had swum 2:23.81 at the world championships just three weeks earlier, and she wasn\u2019t expecting such a dramatic time drop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tried to do 2:22 many times,\u201d she said after the race. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing, this result.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gunes is now the fourth-fastest performer in history in the event, joining an exclusive group of swimmers under the 2:20 barrier: world record holder <strong>Rikke Moller Pedersen<\/strong>, world champion <strong>Yuliya Efimova<\/strong> and Olympic champion <strong>Rebecca Soni<\/strong>. To make things even more amazing, Gunes&#8217; time would have won in Russia at the world championships.<\/p>\n<p>Will Gunes become Turkey\u2019s first Olympic medalist in swimming when she steps up for the 200 breast in Rio de Janeiro next summer? It\u2019s likely, but the competition will be tough. For now, congratulations to Viktoria Zeynep Gunes on earning the Swimming World Performance of the Week!<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.eurovisionsports.tv\/fina\/swimming\/index.html?video_id=21914 target=_blank>Race footage, women\u2019s 200 breaststroke (begins at 2:15)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world junior championships showed us some promising talent in the pool, but none as spectacular as Turkey\u2019s Viktoria Guynep Gunes.
