 finished the event with 13 medals, an improvement of 10 from the Junior Pan Pacs last year. 13 medals is exactly 13 more than a certain European country 

[Bulgaria87 77]

 with 3 medals (1 gold and 2 silver) thanks to our miracle swimmer Petar Mitsin. Amazing performance. He is such a talent and hopefully will keep growing in the future and show his best in 2024 Olympics where he has already achieved two quotas in 400 and 800 Freestyle.
