Were junior world records not officially tracked until 2013? Or can a world record not simulatanousy be a junior world record? I’m trying to understand why Franklin does not have the 200 back world jr record even though she set the world record when she was only 17.
2014, in fact, for long course, with the “benchmarks” being the World Junior Championship records after the 2013 meet: https://swimswam.com/fina-establish-junior-world-records-swimming-14-17-girls-15-18-boys/
FINALLY – WE can access the Holy Grail – the Full Finals > Thanks Guys . I thought this would never happen ……????
Any idea when the Olympic races will be available? It’s been almost 2 years and I still didn’t get a chance to watch the Men’s 4×100 free relay …
here it is – not good super quality but decent to watch .
