Russian sweep in Artistic World Juniors

Nine events and nine gold medals: that’s the Russian record in the FINA World Junior Championships in Artistic Swimming, held in Budapest (HUN) from 18-22 July.

It was an impressive performance, especially since most of the events weren’t that close. Duet Tech and Duet Free winners Elizaveta Minaeva and Kseniia Ladnaia won four gold medals, including the Team Solo and Team Free Combination events.

If it wasn’t for the Russians, the Ukrainian team would have been dominant; they earned silver medals in both Solo events, both Duet events and all three team events! Summaries:
