Check out the best moments of the FINA World Junior Swimming Championships in Singapore 2015 and be excited for Indianapolis 2017!

The fifth edition of the FINA World Junior Swimming Championships, held in Singapore (SIN) from August 25-30, 2015, established 17 World Junior Records and consecrated many talent in the iconic Singapore Sports Hub complex. In addition, 40 Championship Records fell during the six-day competition.

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…

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.

Taylor Ruck got the most out of Day 3, Canada’s shining swimming talent earned three medals, including two golds and was part of a World Junior Record-beating relay. China, Russia and Australia also had a fine evening with a title apiece, the Russian swimmers added four bronze medals to their tally this evening.

USA, Australia and Russia clinched two titles apiece on the second day of the FINA World Junior Swimming Championships, but a Romanian and a Turkish swimmer also made the headlines after respective gold-medal winning performances. China entered the title-winners’ circle, too, on a day which also saw the fall of two more World Junior Records.

The atmosphere in the wonderful swimming complex was outstanding, for obvious reasons. One can say, better thing couldn’t have happened to the Singapore’s swimming and this FINA World Junior Swimming Championships than Joseph Schooling’s bronze medal winning performance in the 100m fly at the Kazan Worlds.
