The World Games continue to be a showcase for sports that aren’t contested in the Olympics, and this year’s event once again included what is recognized by many as the fastest sport in the pool.
Finswimming was among the sports contested at the recent 2025 World Games in Chengdu, China, with Ukraine and Hungary coming out as the big winners.
Ukraine won the most medals with 11, while Hungary took home an event-best five gold medals. Hungary had the second-most overall medals with nine.
Finswimming is a sport where athletes use a monofin or bifins to propel them through the water. There are individual and relay events, and the sport consists of four techniques:
Surface finswimming. Competitors swim on the surface of the water using a mask, snorkel or monofins. Apnoea finswimming. Underwater swimming using a mask, monofin or holding one’s breath. Immersion finswimming. Underwater swimming using a mask, monofin or underwater breathing apparatus. There aren’t requirements on how an apparatus is carried, but it can’t be exchanged or abandoned during a race. Bi-fins. Swimming on the surface of the water with a mask, snorkel or pair of fins using a crawl style.In the men’s competition, the two individual standouts were Nandor Kiss of Hungary and Max Poschart of Germany. Kiss won gold medals in the 200-meter surface (1:17.71) and 400-meter surface (2:52.68), both in world records.
Poschart won gold in the 100-meter surface (33.81) and silver in the 50-meter apnoea, and was a part of two gold medal-winning relay teams.
Poschart swam leadoff for Germany’s team that won gold in the 4X50 surface relay. Other team members were Niklas LoBner, Justus Morstedt and Marek Leipold.
In the 4×100 meter surface relay, the same quartet swam Germany to gold, although this time Poschart was the anchor.
In the women’s competition, Diana Sliseva of Individual Neutral Athletes, Petra Senanszky of Hungary and Sofiia Hrechko of Ukraine each won two gold medals.
Sliseva won the 50-meter apnoea (15.74) and 100-meter surface (38.62) events, Senanszky took gold in the 50-meter bi-fins (20.59) and the 100-meter bi-fins (45.23), while Hrechko won gold in the 200-meter surface (1:27.90) and 400-meter surface (3:11.88).
