Welcome to the 3rd day of the 2025 World Junior Championships in Otopeni, Romania! We’ve had a great start to the meet, having now seen a handful of Championship Records go down. Today’s session is heavy on 50s, so we can look forward to some pure speed today.
DAY 3 PRELIMS SCHEDULE:
Girls 50 Butterfly Boys 50 Backstroke Girls 100 Breaststroke Boys 50 Freestyle Girls 200 Backstroke Mixed 4×100 Freestyle Relay Boys 800 Freestyle (Slow Heats)The girls 50 fly will kick off this morning’s session, and it looks like it should turn into a great battle over the next 36 hours. There are 2 swimmers entered under 26 seconds: NAB’s Mariia Osetrova (25.79) and Japan’s Mizuki Hirai (25.94). Hiari notably split 56.68 on the fly leg of Japan’s gold medal-winning mixed 4×100 medley relay last night.
We have a similar battle brewing in the boys 50 back, where there are 2 swimmers coming in entered under 25 seconds. NAB’S Georgii Iakovlev is the top seed, entering with a 24.55, while Australia’s Henry Allan is entered at 24.88. Ireland’s John Shortt, the gold medalist in the 100 back last night, will also be in the mix in this event.
In the boys 50 free, Great Britain’s Jacob Mills comes in as the top seed with a 21.96. Mills has already put up a pair of excellent 100 frees this week leading off GBR’s boys 4×100 free relay. He’ll have to contend with Italy’s Carlos D’Ambrosio, however, and D’Ambrosio has been on fire through the first two days of the meet. D’Ambrosio is coming off a gold medal in the 200 free last night, in which he broke the Championship Record and the Italian Record in the event. He also ripped a 47.02 anchoring the Italian mixed 4×100 medley relay last night, so Mills will have his hands full.
After winning the girls 100 back last night, American Charlotte Crush will be back in action in the 200 back today. Crush comes in as the top seed with a 2:07.05, which notably is under the Championship Record of 2:07.45.
