In another demonstration of how dominant the United States in swimming, a powerful American team overran the rest of the world in the 14th FINA World Short-Course Championships in Hangzhou (CHN).
The American team, which did not include a number of stars, won 36 total medals, more than the combined total of runner-up Russia (14 medals) and China (13) combined. Moreover, the U.S. won 17 gold medals – out of 46 events – with Russia next with six, and then Hungary with four.
That’s even better than the U.S. did in 2016, when it won 30 medals (8-15-7) to lead the medal table, against 15 by Japan (2-2-11) and 14 by Russia (6-5-3), also across 46 events. The U.S. has now led the medal table in five straight short-course Worlds (2010-12-14-16-18); the last time the U.S. won more medals in a Short-Course Worlds was in 2004 when the meet was in Indianapolis and the American squad won 41 medals in just 40 events!
The meet, which had 930 total entrants (525 men and 405 women) saw a staggering total of 22 meet records and nine new world records:

These totals were greatly inflated by the number of relays in the meet – 12 in all – and the top four Americans all won six relay medals, and Dutch stars Kromowidjojo and Heemskerk both won five medals apiece on relays.
There were also multiple champions who defended their 2016 World Short-Course titles, starting with four defenses from Hungary’s amazing Katinka Hosszu:
∙ Katinka Hosszu (HUN): Women’s 200 m Fly, 100-200-400 m Medley
∙ Cameron van den Burgh (RSA): Men’s 50 m Breast
∙ Chad le Clos (RSA): Men’s 100 m Fly

∙ Daiya Seto (JPN): Men’s 400 m Medley
∙ Ranomi Kromowidjojo (NED): Women’s 50 m Freestyle
∙ Alia Atkinson (JAM): Women’s 100 m Breast
Hosszu, now 29, has now won an astonishing 17 World Short-Course titles and 27 medals (after a silver in the 100 m Back!) From 2012-18.
South Africa’s van den Burgh won the 100 m Breaststroke in a meet-record time of 56.01 and then confirmed his retirement at age 30. He later won the 50 m Breast for his seventh gold medal at the Olympic (1), World (2) and World Short-Course (4) Championships. He was the 2012 Olympic Champion in the 100 Breaststroke and he won medals in championships from 2007-18.
Prize money of $2.07 million was on offer in Guangzhou: each event paid $10,000-8,000-7,000-6,000-5,000-4,000-3,000-2,000 to the top eight finishers. World records commanded an extra $15,000. Summaries:
