Lausanne (SUI), RENANG (August 23, 2013) – The fourth
edition of the FINA World Junior Swimming Championships will be held in Dubai
(UAE) from August 26-31, 2013 and is already marked by a new record of
participation: around 900 young athletes from over 95 National Federations will
take part in the event. Swimmers aged 15-18 (for men) and 14-17 (for women) are
competing in the iconic Hamdan Sports Complex, where took place in December
2010 the FINA World Swimming Championships (25m).
Some confirmed stars and many other talents capable of
shining in the future will be present in the six-day competition, the most
important swimming gathering in these age groups. This event will also close a
busy summer, which included the 15th FINA World Championships in Barcelona
(ESP) and the two first legs of the FINA Swimming World Cup (in 25m-pool). In
these two major events, no less than 16 World Records have been established.
The FINA World Junior Swimming Championships were launched
in 2006, with the first edition in Rio
de Janeiro (BRA). Monterrey ,
in Mexico , staged the second
edition in 2008, while the Peruvian capital Lima was the host of the 2011 rendezvous. The
creation of this competition aimed at unifying the FINA calendar, as World
Junior Championships already existed in the remaining FINA disciplines (Diving,
Synchronised Swimming and Water Polo; the first edition for Open Water happened
in 2012).
The competition programme in Dubai comprises 42 events, including the
4x100m free and medley mixed relays, and will unfold as follows:
August 26 – 4 finals
August 27 – 9 finals
August 28 – 5 finals
August 29 – 8 finals
August 30 – 5 finals
August 31 – 11 finals
August 27 – 9 finals
August 28 – 5 finals
August 29 – 8 finals
August 30 – 5 finals
August 31 – 11 finals
Heats will take place at 09:00 and finals at 18:00 (local
time).
