American girls dominating quite a few of those top 10s. Most shocking one is the 200 back with 7/10 and then 200 free with 6/10.

not that it changes a lot, but  Bacico's best in the men's 100m back at the world juniors was 53.90 in the opening leg of the men's 4*100m medley relay

Does anybody know, where I can find results of African swimming championship? It should have been held last week in Khartoum...

HUGE news for Lithuanian swimming. Vilnius is going to host the 2024 European Junior Swimming Championships.

 

It's the very first time that Lithuania is hosting a prestigious swimming event and we definitely have amazing infrastructure to host it in Kaunas as well, so I was surprised to see Vilnius win the bid.

 

Definitely going to be there if I don't have work on those days.

 

Also, our junior swimming has been improving immensely, so this is going to be an amazing push for our athletes + Plytnykaitė will still be a junior, so medals are also a decent possibility  

 

The very first swimming competition in Lithuania was held back in 1924, so it will be the 100 year anniversary of Lithuanian swimming as well as the 50th European Junior championships as well.

Well, I honestly thought that the best one was the new one in Nemuno sala, at Kaunas

The Nemuno Sala pool have only 500 seats and is two times smaller than Lazdynai centro in Vilnius. Don't get me wrong, the one in Kaunas is also great, but nothing in comparison to versatility and potential of Lazdynai pool

Oh, Lithuanian infighting
