2023 EUROPEAN JUNIOR SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS

We’ve finally arrived on the last day of action at the 2023 European Junior Swimming Championships in Belgrade, Serbia.

Entering tonight’s competition, the nation of Italy remains atop the overall medal table, with Hungary and Denmark also in the hunt.

Denmark will have three prime individual medal chances in the boys’ and girls’ 50m butterfly events and the boy’s 100m breast. Casper Puggaard and Martine Damborg lead their respective fly fields while Jonas Gaur will tackle the breaststroke race.

The Danish boy’s 4x100m medley relay also put up a top-seeded performance in this morning’s heats to set themselves up for a possible gold in that race as well.

Italy saw two boys claim slots in this evening’s 100m freestyle final, with Lorenzo Ballarati and Davide Passafaro ready to rumble. Christian Bacico is also the top seed in the 100m back to give Italy a solid shot at the top prize there.

Also set to race is 17-year-old fly phenom Lana Pudar of Bosnia & Herzegovina. The teen who fired off a new European Junior Record in the 200m fly last night and a new national record in the 100m fly the night before will try to complete the trifecta with a gold in the 50m fly sprint this evening.

Turkey’s Merve Tuncel will attempt to pull off a triple three-peat, gunning for girls’ 400m free gold to add to her earlier 800m and 1500m free victories. The 18-year-old was the title winner across all 3 events at both the 2021 and the 2022 editions of these championships.

The boy’s 400m free will represent another showdown between Bulgarian ace Petar Mitsin and his rival Vlad-Stefan Stancu of Romania. The pair dueled in the 800m free last night, with Mitsin winding up on top. Therefore, Stancu will try to exact his revenge in this shorter distance to cap off the individual events of the evening.
